Black Pencil Web Design & Development

We make your business look awesome.

What is the first impression that you want your potential clients to have of your business?

Why Black Pencil?

First Impressions Are Everything.

No matter how awesome your business may be (and we know it’s pretty awesome), if your website and marketing materials look like your friend’s high-school nephew made them in an hour, you could very easily repel those potential clients.

We’re here to make sure that doesn’t happen.

We Made Their Business Look Awesome

Our Customers

"Joel is a true professional pleasure to work with! Not only does he have the technical experience and expertise to make any web project extremely high quality - but he also has the industry foresight to see any issues on the horizon and deal with them accordingly. His work is excellent, his response time is lightning fast, and his reliability makes him a welcome partner on any web based projects."

Kate Vanden BosBusiness Coach

"Anyone and their brother will tell you they ‘do websites.’ But that doesn’t mean they’re a pro. Joel is a true professional—not only because he knows how to design and execute a website, but because he thinks of things you don’t, and worries a few steps ahead of you to ensure the site is functional, efficient, and elegantly engineered. Not to mention, Joel is incredibly responsive, which, as a business owner, I value most. I can’t recommend him highly enough."

Joshua ProctorHost, Life on Side B Podcast

His design work has made our site more aesthetically pleasing and easier to navigate. He is also super quick to remedy any issues or concerns. Highly recommended!"
