Intent Design Studio specializes in the design, implementation and maintenance of small business web sites. Since 1998, we have crafted numerous sites for clients in southern Oregon and northern California, since we are very familiar with the Sierra Nevada foothills near Nevada City, Grass Valley, and Auburn, and the Rogue Valley area of southern Oregon near Ashland and Medford. Starting in 2008, our emphasis has shifted to rapid deployment sites using the superbly crafted StudioPress themes based on the outstanding open source WordPress CMS (Content Management System) architecture. We can develop a site with your content far more quickly and with vastly greater ease of maintenance and re-design, should the need arise, than ever before. We cater to authors and creative professionals that have inspiring content to share, since we ‘speak that language.’ With the advent of Skype and other teleconferencing tools, our client base is expanding across the country and around the globe.
Contact us and we’ll explain how affordable and quick your next small business web project can be!

“Nancy intuited what was needed in my prior site and quickly developed a beautiful concept that perfectly conveys the feeling I wanted my website visitors to experience. Her design sensibilities, use of color, attention to detail, passion for providing an enjoyable environment for my clients, and natural collaborative skill (she is a great listener!) made the process a real joy.
