About us

Three students. One mission: help local businesses get online.

We're Loren, Luke, and Grant — three students from North County San Diego who started building sites for friends and family, and realized small businesses around us were getting quoted thousands for sites we could build better, faster, and for a fraction of the cost.

LV

Loren Vieira

Design & Client Experience

Co-founder focused on design and client experience. Loren leads the look-and-feel of every build — branding, typography, and making sure the finished site feels right for the business it represents.

LB

Luke Bokhoven

Engineering & Hosting

Co-founder on the engineering side. Luke handles the code, hosting, performance, and the technical polish that makes a site fast, reliable, and ready to grow with your business.

GV

Grant Vaccaro

Head of Technology

Head of Technology. With his coding expertise, Grant handles the engineering of every site we ship — from the initial scaffolding to the final deployment. He works across the full stack, writing clean, maintainable code, wiring up databases and authentication, optimizing performance, and making sure every site we launch is fast, secure, and built to last. Outside of code, Grant has logged countless unpaid hours volunteering in the community, and brings the same discipline and attention to detail to client work that he brings to everything else he does.

Services

Everything you need to get online.

From the first sketch to launch day, we handle the whole process so you can keep running your business.

Honest Pricing

We're three students from San Diego, not a big agency. That means flat, fair quotes and a real conversation before you commit.

  • Flat, honest quotes
  • No hidden fees
  • Free initial consult

Why it matters

A website isn't a luxury — it's how customers decide.

Before anyone walks through your door, they Google you. If they can't find a clean, trustworthy site, they pick the shop down the street that has one. A good website isn't about looking fancy — it's about not losing customers you already earned.
