We’re good at our jobs.
I trust you’re good at yours.
It’s no insult if we’re not a great fit working together.

We are website experts.
While we will offer opinions on message, marketing, business, and whatever else comes up, we’ll be the first to admit the limits of our expertise. Print Design? IT? We’ll coordinate with your people or make an introduction.
We play well with others.
We can’t learn everything, let alone be good at all of it. Instead, we choose to focus on what we’re best at while collaborating with other experts. We’re looking to join your team, not be your be-all-end-all solution.
We are not “yes men”.
We will tell you what we think, not what we think you want to hear. As sharp critical thinkers, we challenge assumptions and “the way we’ve always done it”.
We communicate.
Phone. Email. Promptly. While I think this should go without saying, it still seems to set us apart from a lot of other “web guys”.
We do our own work (mostly).
We occasionally work with sub-contractors when our bandwidth runs thin or a particular specialty skill-set is required. These sub-contractors are satellite members of our team. Some are former employees, while others are “lifer” freelancers. In all cases, we have a close professional relationship founded on trust and past performance. We will not farm out your project overseas or to the lowest bidder.
We are a WordPress shop.
Even within website development we keep our skills focused exclusively on WordPress. If you need an expert in Drupal, Joomla, Magento, or anything Microsoft, we’ll be happy to make an introduction.
We pick clients over projects.
