04 / The Team

Twenty‑six humans who answer the phone.

We don't have account managers who don't answer the phone. We don't have account executives behind the engineers. Everyone on this page has done the work, owns the work, and signs their name to it. First names only. That's not a stunt — it's actually how the place works.

Leadership

The people who sign the contracts.

  1. Steven Pignataro
    Co-founder · CTO

    Steven Pignataro

    Co‑founded the studio in 2000 and one of the original Joomla! authors. Still picks the stack on every new build. Reviews the architecture on every old one. Gets into the code on a Friday.

  2. Michael Pignataro
    Co-founder · CEO

    Michael Pignataro

    The other twin. Runs the business side. Leads sales, marketing, and most first calls. If you sent the contact form, there's a good chance Michael is the one who replied.

  1. Josh Thomas
    Director, Marketing

    Josh Thomas

    SEO meets paid meets lifecycle. The unglamorous stuff that compounds. Wrote most of the playbooks the marketing bench uses.

  2. Ashley Williams
    Director, Client Services

    Ashley Williams

    Owns client outcomes. Translates between engineering, marketing and your team. The first call you'll usually get when something changes.

The policy

Same human, start to finish.

We don't bait‑and‑switch. The senior who runs the pitch is on the build. The engineer who writes your code is in the launch QA. The marketer who proposes the strategy is the one shipping the campaign.

That's a real constraint on how fast we can grow. We hire slowly. We turn down work when the right human isn't available. Most agencies consider this a problem. We consider it the whole job.

Want to meet one of us?

Pick a name, send a note.

We'll put you in front of the right human on the first call. First names only. Real calendars. No SDR layer.
