Built in-house. Start to finish.
Coastal Bay Digital designs and hand-codes the website a business is judged by, and designs and builds the software it runs on. Two practices, one studio, for any industry, anywhere in the country.
One business said yes. Then the rest did.
Aaron Mattia started Coastal Bay Digital in 2020 with a family business as the first client, which sounds like the easy one and is in fact the hardest there is. You cannot hide behind a contract when you have to see them at dinner. So it got done properly: the website first, then the ads, then the software their office and their installers run on every day.
Every client since has been a stranger. Someone who found the work, poked at it, called a reference, and then handed over something as important as where next month’s jobs come from. Electricians, groomers, contractors and storage companies to begin with. Now any industry, anywhere in the country.
We do not pretend that is just a website. It is the thing standing between a customer at nine at night and somebody else’s phone number, and the software behind it is what decides whether the job then runs smoothly or runs on a clipboard. We would rather stay up late getting both of those exactly right than grow into a shop that gets them mostly right.
How we work.
Agencies sub the software out. Software shops hand back a marketing site that embarrasses you. Neither happens here, and none of the reasons below is a promise that expires as we grow.
You talk to the people building it.
The person you speak to on day one is the person writing the code on day forty, and the person who picks it up when something needs changing two years later. Nothing is handed to somebody who was never in the room.
Never subcontracted.
Websites and software are drawn and built in the same studio, in the same system, so they match and they actually talk to each other. Nothing is farmed out to a shop you will never meet.
The details nobody bills for.
The bit of layout shift you would never name but would feel. The tappable phone number on an old Android. The form that still works with autofill switched off. Nobody asks for these. Everybody notices when they are missing.
No WordPress. No page builders.
Most shops drag pre-made blocks around WordPress and hand every client the same slow, bloated site.
We write every line instead, which is why ours load first, hold up in search, and cannot be cloned with the same theme somebody else bought. It is slower to build and it is the entire difference.
One conversation
We learn the business, the work, and what a win actually looks like for you. It costs nothing and there is no deck.
A written proposal
A fixed price and exactly what is in it, before anything starts. If the honest answer is that you do not need us, that is what the proposal says.
We build it by hand
Every line written here. No template, no page builder, nothing on the page because a theme put it there.
Launch, and after
You own the domain and you own the site. Changes go to the people who wrote the code, not to a queue.
This is the actual number.
