TechNICAL ROLES
Big technical decisions, hosting, DNS, security, disaster recovery planning...we help manage what you would love to ignore, but can't.
Ever had a project go sideways because the project manager didn't understand the technology? We've got you covered.
All the things you didn't know were important, until someone had to deal with them a few years later. We help you avoid technical debt.
Engaging experiences that translate to new business, conversions, leads.... We create powerful experiences.
Designers who have made their life's career out of all things web, who also understand CMS at a deep level.
That magical, complex user interface needs a specialist to handle it beautifully, with expertise that keeps the code maintainable.
Specialists in web development and custom programming, we handle the hard-core code with experience and care to ensure the finished product is maintainable.
Everything from heatmaps and web analytics to more complex datasets, this role helps you gain insight and actionable steps from your data.
CRMs can seem easy on the surface, but they often require deep knowledge and can make or break your business. We fix entire CRM setups, implement and integrate new ones, and ensure best practices.

Answers to questions we commonly hear:
Do you replace dev team members?
Companies in trouble or facing a recession.
Historically we have not replaced anyone and instead have helped make existing development teams more effective, helping businesses avoid new hires. However, some companies may be faced with a great deal of pressure and tough decisions.
- If staffing has been reduced or furloughed, we can often fill gaps at a lesser cost than rehiring.
- No matter your situation, we can bring a fresh perspective that improves your technical architecture and eliminates technical debt.
But I already have a CTO or some of these other roles filled!
Great! Many of our clients do. But, unless your development team has all 9 roles filled and you're hiring to complete the last one, it usually makes more sense to hire a fractional team.
Why not hire a traditional agency to do this work?
Traditional agencies don't function as an extension of your team, nor are they as technical as we are. They want to win work and bill hours, whereas your coworkers just want your company (and hopefully you as an individual) to succeed. We act as your coworkers. If you don't succeed long-term, neither do we.
Agencies generally want to take entire projects off your plate, whereas we want to help you execute projects. We still want your input, creativity, inspiration, and insider context and company knowledge. Also, many needs aren't even a "project" -- they're simple requests. We help you get those done, too.
Finally, agencies tend not to be proactive or responsive, and simply do what they're told. They'll get back to you— on their timeline. A good coworker, however, is proactive and responsive, says something when they see something, and gives honest input and helpful suggestions. They know what needs to be done before you even have to ask.
