Our Story
- 2012
Pursuing a Passion
Tanner Brodhagen began with simple HTML and CSS. My freelance work was changing website design elements, making some blocky visuals and ensuring the contact forms worked and filtered spam. Unknowingly, this was the start of a journey into long frustrating hours figuring it all out on my own.
- 2014
Rise of the CMS
Content Management Systems like WordPress and Drupal were the quickest step to acheive results without having to Code everything. The backend allowed clients the ability to change their website and we could addon plugins easily (Contact forms). This period was about learning open-source tools and finding solutions in the online communities.
- 2018
eCommerce Evolution
As the search for new solutions and clients, eCommerce with its endless potential and high dollar value was the next step. We learned WooCommerce, BigCommerce and Shopify along side the new technologies of React, Gatsby and Next.js. This period was about learning the new technologies and building a team.
- 2020
No-Code Revolution
The rise of No-Code tools like Webflow, Wix and Shopify allowed us to quickly build websites and eCommerce stores. This period was about learning how to use these tools and how to build websites faster. We learned that not all websites are created equal and that some clients want to control their own website.
- 2022
Custom Dashboard Applications
The increasing need for our clients to process data and automate tasks has led us to build custom dashboard applications with Laravel and NextJS. Figuring out how to use REST APIs with PHP and NodeJS allowed us to quickly migrate large databases, sync inventories and automate order processing. The large development efforts increased our critical problem solving skills.

Year of the Dragon
This year about expressing our digital creativity and bringing passionate people together to build a Digital Agency. Tanner Brodhagen is taking a risk to open up his office people that strive to build websites and their own pursuit of something great.
