Foundation was built on one belief: a great website should make your business more money. Everything we do flows from that.
Foundation Web Company is a one-person web design studio based in Colorado, run by Josh Kates. The mission is simple: build websites that actually work for the businesses that hire me.
I started Foundation because I believe small and growing businesses deserve the same quality of web design that big companies pay agencies hundreds of thousands of dollars for — without the bloat, the account managers, or the runaround.
When you hire Foundation, you work directly with me. I handle strategy, design, and development. No handoffs. No miscommunication. Just focused work on making your site the best it can be.
I'm early in building this business and I'm hungry. That means you get my full attention, competitive pricing, and someone who treats your project like it's their own.
Work With MeThey're the principles behind every decision we make, every pixel we place, and every client we take on.
We love beautiful design — but never at the expense of performance. Every choice is made with conversion and business impact in mind first.
Fixed pricing. Honest timelines. We tell you what we can deliver and we deliver exactly that. No surprise invoices, no scope creep.
We don't build disposable websites. Clean code, solid architecture, and documentation so your site is easy to maintain and grow long after launch.
We obsess over page speed because your users do too. Fast sites rank better, convert more, and keep customers coming back.
We're invested in your long-term success. We celebrate your wins, flag potential risks, and always think about what's best for your business — not just the project.
The web never stops evolving and neither do we. We stay ahead of technology trends so our clients always have a competitive edge.
No agency markup. No junior staff handed your project. Just me, focused entirely on your website.
Colorado-based web designer and developer building high-quality websites for businesses that want to stand out online. I handle everything — strategy, design, and code.
