Who we are

Wonderboy Creative is J.C. Biagi and Katie, working out of Walla Walla, building custom websites for businesses that need theirs to do something more than exist.

We are small on purpose. Two people on most projects means the person who answers your email is the person who wrote the code, and it means we take on fewer jobs than we could. It also means nobody here has ever handed a client to an account manager and then to a ticket queue.

We have shipped hundreds of sites. Most of them are still running.

What we actually do

Custom WordPress and Shopify builds, hand-written rather than assembled out of a page builder, structured so search engines can read them and fast enough that people on phones do not leave. Branding and logo work when a business needs the identity before it needs the site. Web applications, progressive web apps, and native apps when a website is not the right answer.

What we do not do

We do not run a volume shop and we do not sell packages with tiers. We do not hand over a site that nobody at your company can maintain, and we do not build something we would be embarrassed to have our name on in a town this size.

Why the site is called Wonderboy

There is a kid in a navy mask and a royal blue cape on our logo, and he shows up to rescue businesses from slow, bloated, badly built websites.

It is a joke that we take seriously. The comic-book thing is genuinely how we think about the work, because the sites we get called about have usually been through something, and somebody has to turn up and fix it.

How we think about building

Depth beats authority

A big site with twenty-five years of history can publish five hundred words and rank on the strength of what it already has. A smaller business does not get that, and the only lever actually available is doing the work more thoroughly than anybody else bothered to.

That is not a consolation prize; it is a real mechanism, and it is the one thing about search that cannot be bought.

Structure is decided before a word is written

Most sites do not fail to rank because somebody forgot to optimize them; they fail because they were built in a shape that made ranking impossible, and that call got made in the design phase, by somebody who was not thinking about it.

We decide heading structure, internal linking, and schema while the thing is being designed, which is why we position on the phrase rather than treating search as an add-on service.

Build it once, use it everywhere

Every component gets built one time and reused – no copy-pasted variants of the same card with slightly different padding, because that is how a site becomes unmaintainable eighteen months after launch without anybody noticing it happening.

You own it

Code, content, domain, hosting, analytics – all in your name at the end of the project. If you decide to work with somebody else in two years, you take everything with you and none of it is held hostage.

Where we work

Walla Walla, College Place, Milton-Freewater, Dayton, Waitsburg, and down Highway 12 into Kennewick, Richland and Pasco.

Roughly half our work is outside a two-hour radius and the process was built remote-first because it had to be, so distance does not change what gets delivered. Being here does change something, though. Knowing that harvest empties this town’s calendar in September, and that a tasting room’s busy season is not a dental practice’s, is context you cannot get from a discovery call.

Who we build for

Wineries, dental practices, restaurants, retailers, contractors, schools, churches and nonprofits – the common thread is not the industry.

It is that somebody in the building decided the website should do actual work, and got tired of waiting.
