The people who build it and run it.

What twenty-five years adds up to.
WordPress, Shopify, Magento, Drupal, BigCommerce and Joomla!, all in production.
Our own team spans enough time zones to cover the whole day. Never an outsourced queue.
We manage the servers ourselves, on hardware we rent and configure.
What we hold ourselves to.
The work is not really about websites and applications. It is about what they let people do. We build things that make a difference to the people who end up using them.
Every client arrives with a different problem. We listen first, build to fit, and hold the result to the standard we would want if we were the ones paying for it.
Big client or small, whatever the industry, you get honest and impartial service, and regular word on where the project actually stands.
If you have a problem, we have solved it before.
Steven founded ‘corePHP’ in 2000 to build custom content management systems. It grew into the full-service development and digital marketing firm it is today, serving organizations from small businesses to Fortune 500 corporations.
We started as a Joomla! shop and became platform agnostic. We have worked with most of the technology suites in common use, and when we meet one we have not, we work it out quickly.
Website development and digital marketing are needed in every industry, and we have delivered in most of them. Give us a call and we will solve yours too.
One of us picks up.
Battle Creek, MI 49017
One number, answered in Battle Creek. We answer every call ourselves.
We build it. You own it.
Full source code, the database, the credentials and the documentation, handed over at the end. No license. If we part ways, nothing switches off.
We work out what it has to do before anyone estimates it.
On a staging URL from the first week, so you watch it take shape instead of waiting for a reveal.
Tested against real conditions: your data volume, your devices, your load.
Source, credentials and documentation. Yours.
