About · Since 2009 · DC / Detroit

One firm. One crew. No handoffs.

Founded in 2009 by Mark Bohay. A senior crew working between DC and Detroit, coast to coast. Sixteen years of custom sites & marketing for orgs that take their work seriously.

What we believe

The best work happens when the people who sell it are the people who make it.

A story that starts with frustration.

Mark started MB in 2009 after watching one too many agencies charge for work they didn't do themselves. Big teams, thin work. Senior sellers who disappeared after the contract. Junior teams learning on the client's dime.

The alternative was obvious: a firm structured so the person who sold the work would still be the one making it. WordPress. Custom code. Real people.

Sixteen years later, that's still the whole thing. Mark leads every project. A trusted crew of specialists joins for what each engagement needs. No handoffs. No proprietary lock-in. Craft over shortcuts.

Every site we ship should demonstrate the craft we're selling. If our own site doesn't feel like a real piece of work, you shouldn't hire us.

Clients we've built for.

Every shelf. Covered.

DC / Detroit based. Working nationwide.

The firm is anchored between DC and Detroit. Client work spans coast to coast — the DMV, up and down the East Coast, out to Texas, and into California and the Pacific Northwest.

Distance stopped mattering years ago. What matters is whether the person you're on a call with can actually deliver what they're describing.

Six values. All load-bearing.

01

Senior attention, every project.

The people who sell the work are the people who make it. No juniors learning on your dime. No account managers standing between you and the maker.

02

Craft over shortcuts.

For new builds we hand-code the theme. For existing sites in Elementor or similar tools we support and extend them the same way. Same standard either direction.

03

Ship in phases.

Big builds break into phases that each ship independently. Time and materials with clear estimates up front. You always know where you stand and what the next release does.

04

Straight answers, no jargon.

If we can't explain what we're doing in plain English, we're not doing it right. No consulting-deck buzzwords, no vague deliverables, no diplomatic dodges when something is genuinely broken.

05

Long-term over one-off.

Some clients have been with MB for a decade. We build for durability, not campaign season. The site should still be shipping value five years from now.

06

Fit before fee.

Every first call is a real read for both sides. We only take work we're genuinely the right firm for. When we're not, we say so and point you at someone who is.

Everything on the record.
