Strategy-first web design and development for ambitious Boulder businesses. We build digital experiences that convert visitors into customers.

Trusted by Boulder & Front Range Teams

Hooten Design + Technology is a senior-led Boulder web design studio based in Lafayette, minutes from Pearl Street. We design and build strategy-first websites for outdoor, wellness, climate-tech, life-science, SaaS, and non-profit organizations across Boulder County. Focused marketing sites run $5,000–$20,000 and integrated brand-and-web engagements run $20,000–$75,000, typically launching in 3–6 months.
Great Boulder websites don't start with design—they start with strategy. We immerse ourselves in your business, your market, and your customers before a single sketch or line of code, because the most beautiful site in the world won't move the needle if it isn't grounded in a clear plan.
Based in Lafayette and serving the entire Boulder County market—from Pearl Street to Gunbarrel, Niwot to Louisville—we understand the businesses that thrive along the Front Range. Boulder is one of the most design-literate, environmentally conscious, and entrepreneurial markets in the country. Audiences here expect more: thoughtful typography, sustainable thinking, fast performance, and a brand voice that earns their trust.
Whether you're a CU Boulder spinout, an outdoor or wellness brand, a climate-tech startup, a life-sciences company on the East End, or an established services firm, our team combines deep strategic thinking with world-class design and engineering. The result is a Boulder web design partner who can take you from positioning and brand through UX, visual design, and modern development—without handoffs, gaps, or compromises.
With more than 30 years of experience and over a decade of long-term client relationships, we don't chase trends. We build websites that are designed to last, designed to convert, and designed to make your Boulder business unmistakable.
Boulder vs. Denver web design: Boulder audiences skew more design-literate, sustainability-minded, and product-obsessed than the broader Denver metro—which changes what a website has to do. We adjust typography, pace, and proof accordingly: tighter editorial layouts, faster Core Web Vitals, and clearer sustainability and provenance signals for Boulder buyers, while our Denver work leans harder on scale, category leadership, and enterprise trust cues.
Websites are rarely the only thing a brand needs. We're also a Boulder graphic design company, handling annual reports, packaging, trade show, and print collateral for many of the same clients.
