About

The people behind the client happiness.

A small team that spends real time understanding your problem before writing a line of code. Here’s who we are and how we work.

B2B stores, websites, and apps, built to last 8 years or more.

We’re a small team, and we’ve done this long enough to know that a week spent understanding your problem is a month you don’t spend building the wrong thing. We build things people have to live in for years. So we build them to last, and we’ll tell you when an idea isn’t worth your money.

That’s why we build on Craft. It rewards the people who need a website that’s easy to manage, the people who have to maintain it after we’re gone, and the businesses that need it to grow without a rebuild.

Our standards.

We’re defined by more than our skill sets and process. These standards come before the first meeting, outlast every deadline, and matter more than anything in a scope document.

A small team, on purpose.

Every client works directly with experienced developers.

No junior handoffs
You work with the developers on your project, and Stephen, our founder, is your account manager.
The people who scope it build it
The team that sizes your project is the team that writes it. Nothing is passed on after the pitch.
Big-agency output, small-team experience
Even at a hundred-person agency, about four people do the work: one designs and three build. Ours have done it for years.
Proven at sustained output
We ran a single client engagement at 400 hours a month for three years.

Foster Commerce was founded in 2011 and is headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. We are privately owned, have operated profitably since the start, and have taken no outside investment.

Our client relationships average several years.

We keep our services focused: strategy, design, development, and the ongoing site and server management most agencies hand off to someone else. See what we build →
