Why 1836 Digital
You run your business. We handle the website.
The difference isn't a template library or a marketing pitch. It's professional engineering applied to the websites small businesses actually need.
Built by a software engineer
This is not a drag-and-drop template operation. Every site is backed by professional software-engineering expertise.
Designed for small business
No enterprise complexity. No enormous project process. The product is deliberately focused on what your business actually needs.
Completely managed
The technical work stays with us. You never touch hosting, DNS, SSL, or deployments.
Modern development
Sites are built with modern web technology and engineering practices, the same standards used in production software.
No technical knowledge required
You shouldn't have to understand servers, certificates, or infrastructure to have a professional website. With us, you don't.
One predictable price
The website and ongoing technical support come as one monthly service, with no surprise invoices for routine work.
FAQ
Common questions
Is there a large upfront cost?
The standard managed website offering is designed around a predictable monthly price rather than a traditional large web-development project.
Do I have to manage the website myself?
No. Routine updates and technical management are part of the service. You run your business and we handle the website.
Do I need to already own a domain?
No. 1836 Digital can help with domain setup and configuration from scratch.
Can I use a domain I already own?
Yes. We'll work with your existing domain and handle the technical configuration.
Can you update the website later?
Yes. Routine content updates like hours, services, photos, and staff information are part of the managed service.
Do you build online stores?
The standard managed website plan is focused on informational and service-business websites. More complex functionality like e-commerce can be discussed separately.
Will a website guarantee me more customers?
No legitimate provider can guarantee specific traffic, rankings, leads, or revenue. What a professional website does give you is a better place for customers to learn about, evaluate, and contact your business.
About
Built by an engineer, not an agency
1836 Digital was created by Cody Schexnider, a professional software engineer who saw an opportunity to bring the quality of modern software development to small businesses.
The goal is straightforward: build excellent websites, eliminate the technical burden for the business owner, and charge a predictable monthly price. The same engineering practices used in production software, from full-stack web applications to complex backend systems, go into every site we manage.
