WHO WE ARE, HOW WE DO IT, + WHERE PEOPLE LOVE THE RESULTS
How it Started
We didn't start out as a simple idea way back in 1997. As a matter of fact, our ideas were so large in scope that we really had no idea what was in store for us. If truth be told, we weren't prepared in the early years for all of the things that a business (and clients) would require — or demand — of us. Or, how long it would take us to reach our goals of what success looks like to us. This business has morphed a few times since then, but always with forward momentum. In 2015, we refocused, renamed and rebranded as Studio Barn Creative.
In the beginning, we got a lot of things right and we also made some miscalculations. There are so many lessons to be learned in the early years of any company.
How it's Going
Fast forward and we are successfully building custom websites, managing the maintenance of websites of all sizes in multiple countries, providing SEO and Social Media services, and helping business owners successfully improve their tech, design, and marketing efforts across the board because our team is a group of doers, creative thinkers, and problem solvers.
We naturally gravitate towards businesses with enthusiasm, businesses that are service based, and businesses that are growth-minded. Our mission is to help you outshine the competition and to keep getting those wins.

WE'RE NOT FOR EVERYONE
It doesn't happen often, but we may tell you we're not a good fit for your project. How will we know? We learned it saves our potential clients, and us, time by learning as much about each other as possible before any of the real work begins. To achieve this, we use questionnaires and qualifiers to give us and our clients a chance to see what makes us each tick. It's best when everyone is on the same page, and that doesn't always happen. No matter how it turns out, we truly wish you and your business big things and an abundance of success.
