Built for Hickory and the Catawba Valley.
Hickory's identity is built on furniture and manufacturing. In 1902, local businessmen decided this region's abundant lumber should make furniture right here, and today the Hickory metro is home to 189 furniture manufacturers employing over 14,000 people. The Hickory Furniture Mart draws visitors nationwide, while CommScope, founded here, continues to anchor advanced manufacturing, recently investing in fiber-optic cable production for rural broadband.
We build for the people who power this economy: the furniture maker and the factory floor, the contractor and the cable technician, the restaurant downtown, the retail and service businesses that keep the Catawba Valley moving. Every site is designed and coded around your business, not stamped out of a template.

What clients say
"The restaurant itself is beautiful, but our old site made it look like a chain. Jarred built something that finally matches the atmosphere inside these walls. Now people book before they even walk in."
"Our users live on their phones and the old site was unusable on mobile. Jarred rebuilt the entire front end, it looks incredible and actually works where our audience is."
"The walkthrough video sold me. I could see exactly what I was getting before anything went live. Revisions were painless."
