From logos to websites, we’ll make your brand look awesome—and actually have fun doing it together.
We’re all about giving you exactly what you need — no fluff, no extras you don’t.
We’re not here to upsell you on stuff that won’t help. We’re here to focus on what’ll really move the needle for your small business.
And as a brick-and-mortar retail store owner myself, I know how important it is to deploy the right solution — fast — so you can get back to running your business.

What Clients Say
-
“I loved working with Sarah! She went above and beyond my expectations to build my website. I really felt like it was a collaborative process— I had an idea of what I wanted, and she turned that idea into reality. Even now several months after the site went live, she checks in to see how my site is performing in searches and does optimization things I don’t really understand (but that work!). I highly recommend Gray Matters.”

“Building a business from the ground up is very exciting and challenging at the same time. When you find someone that shares your same enthusiasm and also has the talent to enhance your dreams… you know you’ve found a great business partner. I’m a hands on business owner who was able to let go with Gray Matters! Sarah was able to help me with logos, website, t-shirt design and just like their name, everything else in between. Thank you for your time and inspiration. I look forward to our future projects!”

Sarah is an superior website builder for a great price. I'm completely satisfied with my new website. The flow of the pages and uptick in responses has really made a difference for our service company. Compared to the other 2 companies I worked with before, I will always recommend her if you need a site built.
