We started as a custom CMS shop. We've never stopped writing software for a living.
In 2000, Steven Pignataro started corePHP as a custom content‑management shop in Battle Creek, Michigan. A few years later he co‑founded the open‑source project that became Joomla! It now powers around 2.5 million websites and won Best Free CMS four years in a row. We're proud of that. We don't lead with it.
What we lead with is the studio that grew out of it. Twenty‑some years later we're still here, still writing code, still answering email. We've taken work from Fortune 500 brands, scrappy nonprofits, government agencies, private equity firms, healthcare networks, real estate co‑ops, and a surprising number of breweries. We've also said no a lot. The two go together.
The studio runs on a simple thesis: technology should help people. If a tool, a website, or a campaign isn't quietly making someone's day a little easier, we built the wrong thing. So we keep rebuilding until it does.
