I'm thrilled that you must have enjoyed our client's website enough to check us out...

...or perhaps you were intrigued by our business name in the footer? It is super fun (click here to read our rebrand story if you like that kind of thing).

Our footer link on a website means one of two things:

  1. We designed and built the website ("site by Tiny Thunder Studio")
  2. We manage the hosting and support ("site managed by Tiny Thunder Studio")

Usually it's both, but some clients choose to migrate an existing website for a better support experience, and we do have a few DIY clients who built (or work on) their own websites.

97% of the websites we build are WordPress, meaning they require ongoing software updates and maintenance. We handle all of that, and provide support for updates or issues as they arise. We also include free software licensing for the tech stack used on our client's website (learn about our hosting options here).

Thanks for stopping by!

I'm Sarah Schumacher, and I founded Tiny Thunder Studio in 2009 as a brand/print agency, then pivoted to website design, development and hosting after seeing what a struggle website management was for small business owners. Unfortunately, the tech industry is not known for being particularly ethical or easy to understand, so I decided to do something about it.

At TTS, I handle all all bizdev, sales, strategic/process consulting and creative direction on client projects + some development. We build websites that sell services or share content (publishers, portfolios), and my favorite clients are consultants and new solopreneurs who need process design and tech consulting. If you need a new website, a redesign, a better hosting experience, or perhaps a startup package, please start with our home page or refer to our services to learn more about what we do.

I don't use social media, but am active on LinkedIn and would love to connect. If I can help provide guidance on the next step for your website or solve a process problem with technology, please schedule a consultation.
