We are the best web design agency in the universe. We strive to make your stuff look good.
@thepixelgeek
We make you look good on any platform in the universe. Whether your website is loaded on a desktop, tablet, mobile, hologram, Android Watch, iPhone watch, watch watch, a sandwich with a LCD screen and everything in between.
@thepixelgeek
We'll make your SEO get to the top of Earth’s biggest search engines and beyond. We’ll even get you to the top of search engines that have never even been built yet! Think about it! You’ll be future proofed for at least another 2,000 years. Why choose anyone else?
@thepixelgeek
We can also build LEGO models with our bare feet. Have you even tried that? Nope. Because LEGO bricks hate bare feet. But we make them bricks do our bidding. Our feet can withstand those pesky 1x1 bricks. Cause we’re hardcore!

Recap
- Pop-up modals are annoying
- No one has time for carousels
- Don't be desparate for social clicks
- Tell a story first
- Focus on your content
@thepixelgeek
Experience your user’s experience so that their next user experience will be an experience that you’ll want to experience
