Built for Rutherfordton and the county it anchors.
Rutherfordton became the county seat in 1787 on 50 acres along Cleghorn Creek, named for Revolutionary War general Griffith Rutherford. The town sits at the heart of western North Carolina's gold country, where the Bechtler Mint struck the nation's first private dollar gold coins starting in 1832. From 1831 to 1840, the Bechtlers minted over $2.24 million in gold as miners from across the region brought their ore to town.
We build for the people who run this town: the Main Street shop owner, the restaurant opening downtown, the professional practice and the service business keeping the foothills moving. Your website is designed and coded around your customers, 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."
