Orlando
Imagine your local small business winning online
Stop dreaming. Take Action.
Local small businesses deserve a web that works for them. We seek out, research, and share what works. When there are gaps, we build solutions. Right now, that is Local Record, an easy, free way to have your business verified and kept right in our tools. We are working with Value Local (opens in a new tab) on how local businesses get found.

For local businesses
In person
Let’s meet where you work
Your business happens in person, so we’d rather meet you there: at your restaurant, store, shop, or showroom, or next to your work vehicle in a Publix parking lot. Anywhere in Orange or Seminole County.
What we’ll cover
- A free report on how your business is doing online.
- A few questions about what you need, so we know what to build next to help you win on the web.
- Your free account, to manage your listing on our directories and tools as they launch.
- A few photos of your business, with your OK, so our site shows real Orlando businesses instead of stock pictures.

Community
Growing community, being built now
We’re building a space where local businesses and web experts, freelancers and agencies, can connect and support one another. We believe in the web, and we believe more in meeting people, so events that put you in the same room are part of the plan.
Slack
Where our own team already works, day to day. Open to local businesses and the web experts who serve them — the invite is on the page.
Discord
The same room, a different door. Easier to join if you have never used Slack, and most people already have an account.
Meetup
Being set up now for the Orlando area. Nothing to join yet — this is where it will be when there is.
We don’t know yet which room suits each group best: local businesses, web experts, or developers. So we run Slack and Discord side by side. Join whichever you already use, and tell us if it should be neither.
