Services

At IronGlove Studio, we are a boutique agency with a distinct expertise in crafting compelling websites and software applications. We embrace challenges, fearlessly diving into complex assignments. In these environments, our strength shines as we diligently seek stable, long-term, and strategic solutions that align with our clients’ goals and effectively address their unique problems.

Dynamic Websites and Web Applications

Seeking to establish a secure, custom website from the ground up? Our expertise lies in creating dynamic, tailored websites, utilizing the power of PHP programming language in conjunction with HTML, CSS, and other vital elements. We can employ front-end frameworks like Bootstrap, allowing us to develop responsive, mobile-first projects efficiently. Our team has the know-how to extract data from database systems such as MySQL and MariaDB, ensuring your website operates seamlessly and effectively. We are equipped to utilize robust frameworks like Laravel and Drupal for clients with complex needs. These frameworks are an example of what empowers us to design custom applications delivered via the web, offering a comprehensive, secure digital solution tailored to your specific requirements.

Scalable Industrial Applications

Businesses leveraging Windows Server are acutely aware of the crucial need to update the .NET ecosystem, while others understand the severe IT deficits that can arise when this essential software maintenance is neglected. Our expertise lies in providing solutions to these challenges. Whether it’s preserving the functionality of a critical application or infrastructure or developing a new one to facilitate customer service and business expansion, we are equipped to assist. Moreover, we can design and implement solutions that seamlessly integrate with industrial control systems. These solutions will bolster data reporting, hardware control, and manufacturing operations, enhancing overall productivity and efficiency. Our professional approach ensures that your business continues to operate smoothly without any IT hiccups.

Stores Built for Shoppers

Simply having a product catalog on a website with an integrated shopping cart doesn’t guarantee business success or profitability. The realm of e-commerce is now multifaceted, encompassing elements such as brand identity, a bespoke user experience, an intuitive user interface, robust security measures, and a seamless checkout process. Our seasoned development team has experience on platforms such as WooCommerce, Magento Open Commerce, and Shopify, among others. We’ll engage you in a comprehensive discussion about your needs, devise a strategic plan, and deploy sophisticated analytical tools. This approach enables us to gain a deeper understanding of your customers, their preferences, and how effectively the deployed designs increase confidence and engagement.

WordPress Done Right

The WordPress platform is a leading content management system renowned for its exceptional functionality, speed, and capabilities. However, it is also one of the most misused systems, with numerous freelancers and agencies unethically selling templates as custom solutions at exorbitant prices. This unethical practice carried out by these fly-by-night side hustles and shell companies, posing as legitimate firms, detrimentally impacts both businesses and developers. Our WordPress sites are meticulously coded in PHP using minimal plugins, completely devoid of page builders, ensuring a streamlined and efficient website. We are committed to helping you harness the full potential of WordPress as a website or web application without the unnecessary bulk that often accompanies it.

Design Drives User Experience

Web design is a strategic process that involves creating experiences that resonate with visitors, shoppers, and end-users. The crux of effective web design lies in its ability to convey meaning through meticulously crafted user experience journeys, intuitive user interface design, and a strategic blend of behavioral psychology. This blending of design principles and user expectations forms a fully functional product that helps to increase desired results and conversion rates. As professionals in web design, we understand the importance of testing every element of the design to ensure that the final deliverable meets and exceeds the desired results using best practices. Good design should be noticed, as it links an organization’s brand to its users.

SEO, SEM, PPC, and Digital Marketing

Google searches typically don’t venture past the first page, underscoring the critical importance of good SEO practices. This statistic is a clear testament to why our marketing team goes to great lengths to ensure that your website is fully optimized for search engines. We meticulously analyze every aspect of your website, from formatting and image tags to mobile performance and coding. Our comprehensive auditing is designed to identify and rectify potential issues that could impede your website’s visibility. We are also proficient in SEM and PPC advertising, which are effective strategies for boosting your website’s visibility and driving targeted traffic. Our team can craft bespoke marketing strategies that enhance your online visibility and foster customer engagement.

Why IronGlove?

While economical and readily accessible, stock website templates may present barriers when your business is poised for growth. For true business elevation, a custom-developed solution is needed which is aligned with your long-term vision and objectives. This is where IronGlove steps in. We established our services to equip you with the necessary tools for business advancement. Leveraging our 25 years of combined experience in high-level IT and coding, we bring a treasury of knowledge and proficiency to each project.

We’ve had 700% more engagement on this new website; it’s unbelievable. We get daily updates and can read the analytics, so it’s been a massive improvement. We’re now working on a marketing campaign for website awareness. Project management is spectacular. The process has been smooth, and the communication is excellent. IronGlove Studio puts their knowledge, wisdom, and team behind to build something that exceeds our expectations.

Executive Director

West Linn Chamber of Commerce

Their design work is first-rate, and their communication skills are excellent. The fact that they’re a small agency enables us to talk directly to their principal — I’ve never felt like I’m passed off to a junior partner or someone who doesn’t grasp our project objectives. I can’t speak highly enough of our work with them — I’m thrilled.

CEO

Home Builders Association of Marion & Polk Counties

IronGlove Studio was very reasonable and accommodating to our needs as a veteran-run organization. The site has already received very positive feedback from the Department of Veterans Affairs — the group we’re working with and one of the organizations that provided us with the grant for the site itself. They’ve said our site is polished, clean, relevant, and easy to navigate. Derek has done a great job managing the project.

Executive Director

NW Veterans in Technology

Their communication and attention to detail were exceptionally strong. Every fine detail was taken care of in a timely manner. We were never waiting for anything. They went above and beyond by including UX functions that we didn’t ask for but will greatly improve the quality of the site. The overall functionality and speed of the website are strong as well.

Director of Outreach

Mental Health Advocates of WNY

Derek is one of the best web developers I’ve worked with. He’s responsive and easy to work with. He manages projects efficiently, clearly sets expectations and provides regular updates throughout the process. He’s thoughtful to both budget and business goals and provides strategic recommendations that align with both, so he’s very highly recommended.
