A small team developing powerful sites and supporting hundreds of businesses.
Meet Brandon
Owner & Lead Developer
Brandon is the owner of CRFTD. He’s a father, husband, recovering night owl, addicted to problem-solving, and a web designer in Kentucky.
Brandon’s background is in System Administration, and his expertise spans from hardware and server applications to DNS and code debugging. His and CRFTD’s primary focus is WordPress Development for businesses.
If he’s not working on a project, you’ll find him cheering on his girls from the sidelines at the soccer fields, skating at the ice rink with his son, or relaxing with some vinyl. Or he’s likely on a run.
Meet Cat
Project Manager
Catherine is CRFTD’s project manager. She’s a Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD), a mother, and a wife.
Catherine brings tidiness and stability to projects, ensuring they’re on track for deployment and launch. Her attention to detail in review and management keeps CRFTD’s build time fluid.
When she’s not scheduling time blocks or sprints, she’s in the garden, working on a home project, prepping a snack for the children, or minimizing her environmental footprint. She’s a machine.
All About CRFTD
We first made our introduction as Crabtree Systems 12+ years ago. Our focus has and always remains the same… be creative, build to scale, stay efficient.
Small businesses easily overspend on development and marketing while getting lost in the many directions they are being pulled.
We want to be your translator. We bridge the gap between Graphic Designers, Marketing Agencies, and Ad Buyers – helping you determine which presented path is best for your business. It’s difficult to know when to focus on SEM or SEO, or where your audience needs to land after being driven from social media to your website.
Do you need a new website? Should I build an e-commerce store or stay with Etsy? What are the fees associated with building a site? Is my website secure? Our IT company is managing it. Or more importantly, how can I tell if my web designer is doing a good job?
These are all very important questions that get asked, but few companies actually do thorough reviews because they offer competing services and want your business. We don’t want your marketing business. We want you to have a great relationship with your marketing agency, and we’re happy to provide our services so you’re getting the best available return from your site.
Creative Solutions for websites is our specialty niche. Bringing together the various puzzle pieces to ensure your marketing strategy is properly implemented without exhausting your entire budget on custom development.
