Capabilities

Full service. Front end to back end.

We're not just web designers. We design the pages, write the code behind them, and run the servers they live on. Whatever your site needs to do, you work with one person who can build all of it.

Know who is visiting.

See how many people find your site, which pages they read, and where they came from. Plain numbers you can actually use, not a dashboard you need a class to read.

  • Visitors and page views over time
  • Where they came from: search, social, other sites
  • What paid off: forms sent, ads that brought someone in
Visitor statistics dashboard: visitors, visits, views, bounce rate, visit duration, and a daily bar chart

Contact forms that reach you.

A contact form is only useful if the message arrives. Ours land in your inbox, and the visitor gets a clear answer that it went through.

  • Messages delivered straight to your email
  • A thank-you page, so visitors know it sent
  • Quote requests, sign-ups, applications: whatever you need to ask

Sell from your own site.

Products, a cart, and a checkout, on your own domain. Your customers pay online, and the order comes straight to you.

  • Products, cart, and checkout
  • Card payments online
  • Order emails for you and your customer

Pages that aren't for everyone.

Some things shouldn't be public. We build sign-ins so the right people see the right pages: customers, members, or just your staff.

  • Sign-ins for customers, members, or staff
  • Members-only pages and downloads
  • Paid or protected content
  • Two-factor authentication available

WordPress that works for you.

WordPress is a good fit when you want to edit your own pages, as long as someone is looking after it. We build on it, extend it, and keep it updated.

  • New sites and redesigns
  • Custom themes and plugins
  • Taking over an existing site and modernizing it

Already have a site? We'll move it.

We regularly transfer existing sites onto our hosting and modernize them along the way. We handle the technical side of the move, and your site stays online while it happens.

  • Files, database, and DNS handled for you
  • Your site stays online during the move
  • Old addresses redirected, so links and search results keep working

Email at your own name.

Addresses like info@ and sales@ at your domain, set up on Microsoft 365: the same Outlook mail and calendars big companies use. We handle the domain setup and connect it all for you.

  • Addresses at your own domain
  • Microsoft 365 mail and calendars
  • Domain registration and DNS, handled for you

Custom server code, beyond cookie-cutter.

Some jobs don't fit an off-the-shelf plugin. We have complete control of our servers, so we can write custom programs for your business and keep them running.

  • Sign-ins and accounts for multiple users
  • Databases built around your records
  • APIs and integrations with the systems you already use

From JavaScript to C#.

Different jobs call for different tools. We've written code in all of these, so we pick the one that fits your project instead of making your project fit the tool.

In the browser

  • HTML
  • CSS
  • JavaScript

On the server

  • PHP
  • C#
  • Python
  • Perl

Reliability

Maximum uptime, Maximum reliability.

The sites we host run on a primary server in Atlanta, with an identical standby in San Francisco. A provider-wide outage or a grid failure affects one server, never both.

Process

Start fresh or upgrade.

Whether you're moving a site you already have or starting from scratch, the job runs in three steps, and you see the design before we write a single line of code.
