DIGITAL™
We build fast, honest websites for small businesses — sites that loaded quick on a 56k modem, and feel instant on everything since.
Est. 1997 · Still family-owned · Still shippingDIAL-UP DIGITAL — README.TXT ===================================== Founded 1997 in a spare bedroom with two beige towers and one phone line. (Sorry, Mom.) Today we are nine people who design, write, and hand-build websites for small businesses that want to look serious online without a big-agency invoice. WHAT HASN'T CHANGED SINCE '97: * Hand-built. No template farms, no page builders. * Plain pricing. A quote is a number, not a maze. * Every site tested on a throttled connection — if it's fast there, it's fast anywhere. * You talk to the people doing the work. WHAT HAS CHANGED: * The modem. We miss the sound. A little.
Custom sites, hand-coded and quick. We design in the open, ship in weeks, and hand you something you can actually maintain. Every build includes:
Logos, naming, and identity systems that survive being faxed, embroidered, and shrunk to a favicon. You get the files, the fonts, and a one-page guide your whole team will actually read.
Online stores without the plugin soup. Catalog, checkout, shipping, taxes — set up, tested with real orders, and documented so your staff can run it without calling us. (Though you can always call us.)
In 1998 we got clients to the top of AltaVista and Lycos. The search engines changed; the method didn’t: fast pages, clear writing, real answers. No tricks that work until Tuesday.

Nine humans, no account managers between you and them. A few of the originals:
“Warning: we asked for a website and got a 40% bump in revenue. Plan staffing accordingly.” — Dana M., owner, Café Y2K
“They rebuilt our store in three weeks. It has not crashed since. Not once. We checked.” — Ras Duke, Moonbeam Records
