All About Us

TODD CARLSON

Founder, Owner

I’ve been around for awhile now, est.1995

Experience

With over 27 years experience designing graphics, websites, and writing code I have the skills necessary to make you look great! Over the years I have created websites using WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento, OScommerce as well as old school hand-coded HTML. I create 99% of my project work in-house, although sometimes it’s necessary for me to reach out to my strategic partners when I receive a very unique request that I am not able to complete directly my self.

Skills and Tech

I design and build my client’s website using WordPress, the world’s most popular CMS (Content Management System). I use and implement the latest design software, Adobe CS6 (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) and techniques such as mobile responsive coding using HTML5, PHP, Java, Javascript, and CSS3 just to name a few. I also utilize various frameworks and frame builders combined with advanced technologies I am able to fulfill and exceed my client’s expectations with outstanding results and customer service – on time and on budget.

My Clients

I have been retained by a range of clients, from small to medium sized companies to Mom and Pop start-ups. That said, most of my client’s have budgets of between $1,500 and $5,000 to finance their projects. While that may seem spendy, don’t worry because I can work with most any budget. So, contact me today to find out what I can do for you – within your budget.

Mission Statement

My goal at 5Fourty Design is to innovate and provide advanced, quality products and solutions, along with the industry’s leading customer service and support, all at affordable prices.

I value having this privilege – and I do not take it lightly. I am aware of my responsibility, and I appreciate the confidence my clients have placed in me to work on their websites. Therefore, I live and work by a few very simple yet important principles:

• The customer is the #1 focus for the entire company. I emphasize this to everyone every time I have the opportunity. I clearly understand that my customers and no one else provide me the opportunity for rapid growth.
• I am dedicated to continuously providing my clients the best e-Business and web-based services possible.
• I understand that behind every successful company is a team of very successful people. 5Fourty Design is fortunate to have a talented team of professionals with the necessary skills and drive to provide my clients with a superior service.
• My customer approach is very straightforward but effective. Our entire staff is equally responsible for supporting my clients at all times.
• I believe that people – and not technologies – are the key to my success. Therefore empowering my staff is the key to their performance and ultimately my clients’ satisfaction.
• I provide a pleasant, creative and collaborative working environment and encourage team effort through education, growth opportunities and rewards for good performance.

Pursuing total quality and delivering on my promises is the most critical aspect of 5Fourty Design’s mission to be the best web-based developer in the industry. To that end, you will notice that one of my strengths is my willingness to stretch my core competencies and deploy new features or processes for my clients.

5Fourty Design has prospered during the past years by following the fundamental principles of customer care, attention to detail, value proposition, and ongoing innovation. I hope you decide to let the quality that I have dedicated ourselves to cultivating here work for you by choosing 5Fourty Design for your web-based development needs.
