Who We Are

A person at a desk with pens, pencils, and a notebook, focused on a creative project.
  • We're a "studio" because we emphasize creativity, design, and graphic arts.
  • We're also techy small business consultants who implement solutions for people who don't have time to work on their computer systems all day.
  • We combine creativity and technical know-how – we actually enjoy tech puzzles and are happy to take care of your tech issues while you do what you do best.
  • We're also big fans of using computers for automation and getting rid of everyday office tedium. Give us a document that would take 10 minutes to type and we'll spend 20 minutes making sure no one will ever have to type it again.

Where did the name come from?

A child holding a bent spoon

You've probably seen the Matrix movies at some point, but you may have forgotten about a brief scene in the first film: There's a bald child in a waiting room wearing a monastic-style robe. He's calmly bending metal spoons, apparently using only his mind. The main protagonist, Neo, approaches the child about the ability, and the child says:

"Don't try to bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead, try and remember: There is no spoon."

It serves as a reminder about what's real and what's distraction. The virtual world of ones and zeros isn't "real" in the strictest sense. It's a means to an end for all of us, where we can live our lives the way we want. Technology is just a tool, not an end in itself.


Our Design Philosophy

We believe in designing websites that are:

A frustrated person recoiling from a busy, flashy monitor
  • Clean and simple: Your customers should find what they need quickly without distractions. While parallax effects and animations may look impressive, they can detract from your core message and frustrate users seeking information.
  • User-friendly and intuitive: Following Steve Krug's book, "Don't Make Me Think," we create websites that visitors can navigate effortlessly without confusion.
  • Responsive and accessible: Your site should work seamlessly across all devices—desktops, tablets, and smartphones—and be accessible to everyone regardless of ability.
  • SEO-optimized: We ensure your website ranks well in search results to attract more customers and grow your business.

We take pride in creating websites that not only look great but function well and meet your specific needs. A well-designed website can significantly impact your business success, and we're here to help you achieve that.


We Craft Custom Tech Solutions

A text reads: 'Any requests for snacks?'

We've all seen the horrors of autocorrect gone wrong. But now have you noticed those little prompts you're getting on your cell phone, trying to predict what you're going to say next? Or your word processor suggesting the next sentence you might type? These are examples of how AI is being leveraged to save you time. But like autocorrect, it's not always accurate. Part of the reason for that is it's not customized just for you. That's where we can help.

Each of us has a unique way of working, and we all have different needs. We don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, we take the time to ask questions and understand your specific workflow challenges, then we tailor our services to meet your needs and make sure they're right for you. Whether you're an individual looking to streamline your personal productivity or a business seeking to optimize your operations, we want to help you optimize your digital workflow.

Here's an example: Let's say you need to edit a bunch of documents with the same content or formatting changes. Instead of manually going through each document and typing it out (or even copy-pasting), we can create a custom script that automates the process, saving you hours of work. Or maybe you need to set up a system to track your tasks and deadlines more efficiently. We can help you implement a personalized task management system that fits your workflow perfectly. We can set up so many shortcuts and automations it will make you wonder how you ever got along without them. You'll just get things done.


Customer Service Isn't a Gimmick

Letter tiles spell out the word 'Listen'

As customers ourselves, we don't like to get the run-around, and we don't like to be treated as just another number in a queue. We want to be able to talk to a real person who can help us with our problems, and we want to be able to do it quickly and easily. We believe our customers feel the same, and we will always go the extra mile to make sure you're satisfied. We don't have AI answering the phone, and though you might need to leave a message once in a while, a real human being will call you back and make sure your question or issue is resolved personally -- it doesn't get lost in a queue.
