We’re Aquarian Web Studio - an expert in websites and surrounding ecosystems with 40+ years collective experience and study of our internet - a place we really like and want to keep nice.
Experience
In code we trust
We navigate clients around internet pitfalls by using code that we trust, with designs distilled from client wish-lists and brand reflection, with authorship experiences that save time and inspire joy. We have industry-leading service turn-around, respond quickly to email, and really enjoy thinking.
We specialize in resolving long-shot upgrades, difficult add-on upgrades, CartThrob upgrades, performance-based upgrades, and front-end upgrades. Our staff has been with ExpressionEngine from the very beginning. The original best thing about it is still the best thing - it’s a brick house. It is code we trust. It boasts an unbeatable track record for keeping data safe and in the right place. We contribute to the community and software actively in the forms of conference talks and bug reports.
Clients love that no upgrade is too complex, no feature too complicated, and that they understand our email messages. Our billing is transparent - billed hourly and according to our email conversations. We offer very quick, friendly service and look forward to every challenge.
SEO, and all of that
We have trained at length with top SEO providers to get a handle on the ecosystem surrounding our work and leverage this with every recommendation, fix, or improvement. Clients love our collaborative approach to getting their website to its top form and seeing the changes in their business.
Design that shines
Our design work is beautiful and unobtrusive - applying fonts, colors, and images with a little animation and asyncronous code to create the quick experience modern users expect without getting in the way. We like to work a little at a time, but are ready for a lot right away as well.
Aquarian began in 2010 as Petroglyph Creative, a solo home shop in Albuquerque, NM. We have grown to a distributed 4-person in California, New Mexico and Arizona as of 2020 and continue to look for ways to expand our expertise and enjoyment of our work. We are New Mexico DOT-certified DBE, Certified Small Business, woman-owned, and women-led.
