Like most good things, Pleiades happened by accident. In the middle of 2022, two software development bootcamp grads in Boise, Idaho graduated into the first hiring freeze the tech industry has seen in 15 years. Fortunately, the world didn't stop turning just because the big tech companies thought it might. We were asked to do one thing, then another, and then another, and it wasn't long before we realized that there's plenty of work to be had for people willing to say "yes" to whatever needs doing.
Pleiades is dedicated to delivering website development in Boise, Idaho. We mostly work as a local web agency, because we like bring custom web design to small businesses. We also provde SEO services, Google Ads management, social media management, and e-commerce web development all over the Treasure Valley, including Eagle, Meridian, Caldwell, and Nampa. People like us because we don't charge extra for our expertise: with us, you're always paying a fair price or getting more than you paid for. We hope one day to be managing the websites and social media for all the most exciting up and coming new businesses in the Treasure Valley.
At Pleiades, we charge a fair price for our services. The complexity of online marketing is often intentionally exaggerated by agencies offering SEO and SEM services — we don't do that. Our monthly reports tell you everything that we're doing and how it works, so that you can be a part of the process. Not only that, our goal is to work with your budget and what you truly need, whether that's advertising nationally on Google or building a clean, fast website for your new business.
We don't know how other agencies do things, but at Pleiades, we don't outsouce our work overseas. We keep prices lean by using well-vetted systems that we create for as much efficiency as possible. And, frankly, we don't gouge the customer. We know there are talented developers and marketers all over the world, but we want to keep jobs in the U.S.A. and give juniors professionals a chance to grow.
We're here to bring the boutique design experience to small businesses. Our team of experienced designers and developers work closely with you to ensure that we not only provide a solution that works fits your needs, but one that works with your ideals and values. We know that when you've signed up to have something made for your business, you're risking not just your time and money but also your control over the way your business or brand is perceived, and we understand how important that is.
This means three things: the first is that we provide the service you want, even if it's a website design framework we don't normally use, or a hosting solution we've never tried; the second is that when designing both websites and online strategies, we talk to you every step of the way to make sure it's done right. If somehow you don't like what we've made for you, we'll fix it for free. And finally, it means we won't leave you out to dry once the check has cleared.
