We build software, sites, and brand systems for the organizations doing the work — civic tech, nonprofits, social impact, and the studios telling their stories. Measured twice. Built to last.
We're a small, senior team that takes on the work most agencies can't — civic platforms with real users, advocacy tools that need to scale on demand, brand systems that hold up across coalitions and campaigns.
Custom web applications for organizations that need more than a CMS. Voter tools, intake systems, case management, member portals.
Editorial websites, campaign sites, and the design systems that keep them coherent as your team and coalition grow.
Long-term partner work for organizations that want a studio embedded with them — not a vendor handing off deliverables.
Stilts Designs is an independent digital studio. We partner with organizations whose work matters — election reform, food security, criminal justice reentry, local government, housing, accessibility — and with the entertainment teams shaping the broader conversation.
We've been around long enough to know most digital problems aren't technical. They're about clarity: who you're for, what you do, and how the product helps someone get something done. We start there.
Then we build. Carefully, and to last.
Alongside the studio, we operate two specialized brands serving home-services contractors and local businesses.
We take on a small number of new partners each year. If your work matters and you're looking for a team that takes it as seriously as you do — let's talk.
