Spoiler alert: It involves too much coffee and not enough sleep.
A tech firm founded on the radical notion that websites should actually work, look good, and not make users want to throw their computers out the window.
We started BJR LLC because we were tired of seeing businesses stuck with websites that looked like they were designed in 2005 by someone who thought Comic Sans was a "fun choice." (It wasn't. It never was.)
Based in the digital realm but grounded in real-world results, we specialize in building custom web solutions for companies and charities who want something better than "good enough." We believe that every organization, whether you're a Fortune 500 company or a local charity golf tournament, deserves a web presence that makes people say "Wow" instead of "What year is this?"
Our approach is simple: we listen to what you need, translate it from business-speak to code, build something awesome, and then explain it back to you in words that don't require a computer science degree to understand.

Besides standing desks, which are great for our backs.
We'd rather build one incredible website than ten mediocre ones. Every project gets our full attention, not just whatever's left after we've had our third coffee break.
We tell you the truth, even when it's not what you want to hear. If your idea won't work, we'll say so. If something will cost more, you'll know before we start.
We believe that work should be fun. If we can't crack jokes while debugging code, what's even the point? Life's too short for boring developers.
Perfection is the enemy of done. We believe in launching, iterating, and improving. Your website will never be "finished," but it will be live and making you money.
We offer discounted rates for charities and non-profits because making the world better shouldn't be limited to those with big budgets.
In a world of data breaches and hackers, we build security into everything from day one. Your customers' data is sacred, and we treat it that way.
Statistics that definitely aren't made up. Probably.
It's more organized than you'd expect, honestly.
We hop on a call (or meet in person if you're local and bring donuts). You tell us about your business, your goals, and your dreams. We ask a lot of questions and take a lot of notes.
We put together a detailed proposal that outlines exactly what we'll build, how long it'll take, and how much it'll cost. No surprises, no hidden fees, no "oh, that'll be extra."
We create mockups and prototypes so you can see your website before we build it. This is where you get to say "make the logo bigger" (just kidding, please don't).
The fun part! We write code, drink coffee, write more code, fix bugs, drink more coffee, and turn your vision into a fully functional website.
We test everything on every device and browser we can get our hands on. If it doesn't work on your grandma's iPad, we're not done yet.
We push your site live, celebrate with virtual high-fives, and stick around to make sure everything runs smoothly. We're here for you even after the check clears.
We promise we're much more professional in meetings. Slightly.
