Our Story
Artillery was born in 2006, inspired by our founder’s service in the United States Marine Corps. Our name – “A Means of Persuading” – reflects both our military roots and our mission: to craft websites that move people to action.
But we’re more than just our name. We’re a team of digital craftspeople who believe in sweating the small stuff and lifting others up. You’ll find us rolling up our sleeves to tackle complex challenges, teaching clients along the way, and celebrating the successes of those we serve. Because we believe that your success fuels ours – a rising tide truly does float all boats.
Rooted in the Midwest (Lincoln, NE, to be exact), we bring those heartland values of honor, quality, and straight talk to every project we touch. While we work with organizations nationwide, we’re proud to call the Midwest home and stay deeply connected to our local design, art, and music community.
