Technology and web design for people who have better things to worry about. Most websites for small businesses, artists, and freelancers fall into one of two categories: the template that looks like everyone else's template, or the expensive custom build that took six months and still isn't quite right. We think there's a better middle ground — and we've spent more than twenty years building it. Two Bit Consulting helps individuals, small businesses, and mission-driven organizations build a web presence that's genuinely theirs. Design led by Maura. Technology handled by Jake. And when your organization needs more than a website — when the real problem is that your people don't trust their tools, or your systems don't talk to each other, or you just need someone to call when things go sideways — that's what the IT side of our work is for. Most technology problems are people problems. The tools usually work. The harder question is whether the right people trust them, understand them, and actually want to use them. That's a problem we've spent a long time solving — and it shows up in how we build websites too.…Technology and web design for people who have better things to worry about.
