Stephen and I met while we were both temping for a communications agency just outside of Boston. He was working on developing websites and I was doing…well, whatever they needed me to do on any given day (edit videos, write, copyedit, code). We ended up becoming friends, and when I got hired for a contract at Pearson Education, Stephen came too. Over the years, we began helping each other with various website projects. I moved to Portland and Stephen is still in Boston, but we’ve continued to rely on each other’s strengths for projects. We decided to make our partnership official, and that’s how Fenway Creative came to be. 

I think it’s important to tell the story of how we met so that you can understand why we’re so committed to building websites for small businesses and organizations. We know what it’s like to be the little guy, and to have an idea that you hope to find success with. Like the “eat local” movement, we believe in living locally, and small businesses are the path to that kind of community strength. 

The small businesses we work with understand that having a web presence is vital to survival. A website is online real estate; it needs to convey the look and feel of your business to someone who hasn’t had the opportunity to set foot in your brick-and-mortar office or storefront. For those who run online businesses, web presence is even more valuable. We love working with small businesses and organizations so that we can develop an online atmosphere that’s pitch perfect.
