A small studio in Auburn, California
Small enough that the person who quotes your project is the person who builds it, and close enough to drive to. Here is who we actually work with, and what working together tends to look like.
Mom-and-pop shops, homeschools, and people building something for a community.
We are not chasing enterprise contracts. Our clients are small service businesses that work out of a van, private and homeschool groups teaching a handful of families, and people building something around a shared interest. SacStreetBike is a motorcycle community for Northern California. LoomLearn turns history, geography and economics into games for younger students; PathwayCSU helps CSU undergraduates plan their fastest route to a degree. Meadow Feast caters weddings and events across Placer County and the Sierra Foothills. Leon's Roofing is a roofing contractor whose phone rings because the site works.
- Northern California, not remoteTahoe to Fairfield, Elk Grove to Chico. We work with businesses we can drive to, and the number at the bottom of this page reaches the person who built your site.
- Three languagesEnglish, Spanish and Russian, split roughly evenly across the businesses we work with - a real language swap on the site, not a translation widget.
Most clients stop keeping a list and just call.
Work tends to start with a referral, or the sentence "can you help me get my business online?" After that, most people use us for everything digital rather than saving jobs up - something occurs to you, you call, and it either happens or we tell you what it would take. The part clients find most useful is often the part we talk them out of.
- The person who quotes it builds itNo account manager in the middle, no ticket queue, and no handing your project to somebody who was not in the conversation.
- We will say what is not worth buildingSeeing a feature on a big social platform does not mean it is a weekend of work. Those companies have teams and budgets a small business does not, and saying so early saves more than any discount.
