Web Development Solutions Built Around Your Business
Fast, secure, accessible, and easy to manage. We build websites and custom functionality that hold up under real-world use — and that your team can actually maintain.
Development Starts With Understanding
When you need solutions, we look at your problems, goals, workflow, and what needs to be solved. Then we help determine what is needed, what is possible, and what will create the most impact.
That might mean a clean WordPress build. It might mean custom functionality, ecommerce, member access, structured content, integrations, automation, or a scalable system for managing locations, teams, products, or services.
We build the functionality our clients need to make their sites easier to manage, more effective for growth, and more useful to their business.
What Web Development Should Deliver
Speed
Fast load times that hold up under real traffic, on any device. Speed affects conversion, search rankings, and how people feel about your business.
Reliability
Clean code that doesn’t break when you update a plugin or add a page. Built and tested so it works the way it’s supposed to.
Manageability
Built on platforms your team can actually use. WordPress with sensible structure, custom fields, and clear admin areas — not a black box that requires us every time something needs to change.
Custom Functionality
Membership systems, ecommerce, dynamic pricing, custom calculators, integrations, multi-location infrastructure, sponsorship management — built right when standard solutions won’t do the job.
What We Build
Most of our work is in WordPress because it’s the platform that gives clients the most control after launch. Within that, we cover the full range:
- Custom WordPress themes and templates — never page builders that lock you in
- WooCommerce ecommerce stores with dynamic pricing, member pricing, and custom checkout flows
- Membership and member-portal websites
- Multi-location and franchise infrastructure
- Custom calculators, configurators, and quoting tools
- Integrations with CRMs, marketing platforms, payment processors, and APIs
- Accessibility-compliant builds (AODA / ADA / WCAG 2.0 AA)
- Performance optimization and rebuilds for slow or aging sites
Scope
We map out exactly what needs to be built, what platforms and integrations are involved, and what the technical constraints are. Fixed scope means a fixed quote.
Build
Clean code, version controlled, on staging environments you can review. We test as we go, not just at the end.
Test & Optimize
Cross-browser, cross-device, accessibility, performance, security. Real-world testing with real-world traffic patterns.
Launch & Support
We launch, monitor, and stay available. Most of our clients keep us on for hosting, security updates, and ongoing development work.
Case Study
Case Study
Spirit of Math
The Brief
Spirit of Math had a dated website that did not tell their story clearly to parents, students, educators, and prospective franchisees.  With 30 locations, they needed a better way to manage location pages, display localized information, support search visibility, and make updates without relying on an outside developer.
The Approach
The Story Web Design & Marketing created a website that felt professional, with messaging that better reflected who Spirit of Math is.  The website includes a scalable, easy-to-manage multi-location system.
The Results
Spirit of Math now has a website that better reflects their brand, tells their story more effectively, and makes it easier for visitors to find the right location, and enables them to easily make edits and roll out new locations.
Services Provided Include
The new site finally feels like Spirit of Math. It tells our story more clearly and gives us a much stronger foundation for growth.
FAQs
Do you only build on WordPress?
Most of our work is on WordPress because it’s the platform that gives our clients the most flexibility and ownership after launch. For ecommerce, we also build on WooCommerce and Shopify. We don’t build on closed proprietary platforms that lock our clients in.
Can you take over a website built by another developer?
Yes. We regularly take on inherited websites — fixing what’s broken, optimizing what’s slow, securing what’s vulnerable, and getting them onto a solid foundation for the future.
Do you handle hosting?
Yes. We offer managed WordPress hosting with security, backups, and performance optimization included. Most of our clients stay with us for hosting after launch.
What about ongoing maintenance after launch?
We offer ongoing development and maintenance plans for clients who want a partner who stays close to the work. That includes security updates, performance monitoring, content changes, and new functionality as the business grows.
Can you build complex custom functionality?
Yes. Our development team has built dynamic pricing systems, custom calculators, multi-location infrastructure, sponsorship-management systems, member portals, and complex API integrations. If standard tools won’t do the job, we build the right tool.
What’s your approach to security?
Security starts with how the site is built — clean code, vetted plugins, hardened configurations. It continues with managed hosting, regular updates, and active monitoring. Most security incidents we see in client sites are because something was set up poorly years ago.
