Easy is boring
You need creative strategy paired with better tools.
Fastspot is a team of digital problem-solvers, creative thinkers, and execution experts. We specialize in building large, complex websites —with accessibility, usability, and long-term sustainability at the core. Our design work is thoughtful and strategic, balancing bold creativity with brand clarity. We’re innovators, too—leveraging emerging technologies, including AI, to bring smarter tools and more efficient workflows to our clients. From high-level strategy to detailed execution, we handle every phase of the project with precision and purpose.
- Process should be a framework, not a traintrack
- We build 65% of our projects in open source CMSs

What's Important
-
Design Forward
The work we do transforms your brand. More often than not, it meets and greets your new clients / students / customers. A lot goes into making a strong first impression, and we think about all of it.
-
Made-to-measure
Every project starts with listening and learning. We can't create distinctive solutions until we understand you and your challenges.
-
Everything is Accessible
Our interest in the web is central to the belief that it should be the most democratic way to communicate. This means for everyone.
-
Technology Agnostic
We have our opinions, but we apply our design sensibilities and expertise to any problem worth solving.
Research & Strategy
Strategy at Fastspot is definitely not limited to “UX”— in fact, great user experience is something owned by everyone at Fastspot. Our strategists are holistic practitioners. We consider everything from information architecture and user interfaces to content strategy and governance, and help guide you on how they all come together.
Because everything we create is custom designed and coded for you, we have to deeply understand who you are and what your audiences need. To get there we take off our shoes and walk around in yours a little, have lots of conversations, ask big questions, and examine the smallest details.

Design
Most of the organizations that we partner with already have a storied and historic brand, which means we’re always keeping in mind where you’ve been and who you are while helping you get to where you want to be.
A big part of the way that we work is through critique, which doesn’t mean just accepting feedback but also interpreting it and incorporating it into the final product through our lens.

Development
Craftsmanship - Code quality matters to successful content management. If the tools you use suck, so will your content.
Responsive Everything - At every size and on every device, the way you look matters. You can never tell how your audience is browsing, so it's better to code for all experiences.
Accessible & Expressive Dev - Everyone should have equal access to the content you create. Achieving an equitable experience doesn't have to constrain creativity and limit outcomes.
Development at Fastspot is grounded in best practices, built for flexibility, and tailored to each client’s needs. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions—we build clean, accessible, future-friendly websites that are easy to manage and built to last. Our developers work hand-in-hand with designers and strategists to bring each project to life with precision, performance, and polish. Whether it's a custom CMS implementation or complex third-party integration, our work is thoughtful, scalable, and always focused on the user experience.
