Introducing Argosy

Welcome to Argosy! We are a women-owned web design agency dedicated to helping small businesses thrive.

The idea for Argosy initially came from co-founder Emily Kauffman’s experience working in a robotics company. She saw firsthand the challenges that came with managing a sizable fleet of robots, such as monitoring the status of each robot, the battery charge, and software updates. Emily wanted to create a solution for other robotics companies to easily control and track their fleets–hence the name Argosy, which is derived from the Italian word "argosia," referring to a large ship or fleet of ships. From this original idea came the plan for a full-service web design agency, offering an array of design and technical services. Emily joined forces with Jordan Mason, an all-around business guru with experience in startups, and Argosy was finally born!

As a small business owner, you know how important it is to have a strong online presence. A well-designed website can help attract new customers, showcase your products or services, and establish your brand as a trusted and professional business. But you also have to run your business, which can make it challenging to create and maintain a website that will meet all of your needs and help your business thrive. That's where Argosy comes in.

Our small but mighty team is passionate about creating beautiful, functional websites that not only look good, but are also easy to use and navigate. That's why we take the time to understand your business and your target audience, and use that information to create a website that meets your goals and needs.

At Argosy, we understand that every business is unique. We've developed a 4-step design process that allows us to work closely with our clients to ensure you get exactly what you want, when you want it, and within your budget.

We begin with a consultation to understand your business goals and needs before we move on to the design and development of your custom website. Each of the 4 steps in our design process is treated as its own project; this means every phase is fully researched, informed by the previous phase (when applicable), and completed to our mutual satisfaction before we move on to the next. The overall cost of the project will also be broken down into smaller payments at each step in the process, allowing you (and your budget) to determine when to move on to the next phase. Our goal is not to hurry you across a finish line, but to get you on the roadmap to success.

Working with a professional web design agency may seem daunting, but we are able to help you with much more than just building a beautiful website. We have the ability to create a user-friendly and visually appealing website that meets the needs of your target audience. Our team has the skills and expertise to create a website that is easy to navigate and provides a positive user experience. In addition, we can ensure that your website is compliant with digital accessibility standards, which is important for making your website accessible to users with disabilities. This not only helps to make your website more inclusive, but it can also help to improve your search engine rankings and increase the overall reach of your website.

In addition to our web design services, we also offer content writing and search engine optimization (SEO) services to build an online presence that is fresh, on-brand, and easy to find. We can also offer ongoing technical support, so you can trust that your website will always be up-to-date and running smoothly.

When you work with Argosy you are joining our fleet. We can help to ensure that your website is effective at achieving your business goals and attracting and retaining customers. And once your website is completed and launched, we will continue to check in with you and provide services when we can. We love to see small businesses grow, and growth often yields new demands on your website. Technical issues? Rebranding? Expanding to ecommerce? Whatever your future website needs, Argosy will be there for you.

At Argosy, we believe in the power of small businesses to make a big impact. We are proud of the work we do and the websites we create, and we can't wait to help your business grow and reach its full potential.
