Our passionate vision
You may ask yourself…
Why does the world need another web design agency?
Because the average small business has a web design problem – we’ve seen it firsthand.
The Problem
Raise your hand if you’ve had a negative experience with a web designer or IT consultant. ✋
In our experience, most small businesses have.
The stories vary in scope and severity from flakiness to well-meaning but costly incompetence. Unfortunately, many scarred small business owners have learned the hard way – a skilled and reputable web designer is invaluable to growing the business and avoiding website nightmares that can inhibit growth potential and take years to recover from fully.
Having seen it firsthand, we wanted to start a web design company laser-focused on addressing this problem.
Our Story
It all started with Panatda, founder and lead developer at PNW Web Devs. A superstar developer and proud mother of 1 baby, 2 dogs, and 2 cats, who grills a mean steak (charcoal, please!). Panatda has traveled all over the world, living primarily in San Francisco and Seattle.
Working as a software developer in Seattle, Panatda grew disillusioned with her tech agency’s tendency to rush from client to client, cutting corners on projects and pressuring devs to leave code untested to move on to the next project.
She wondered what it would look like for a web design company to focus on solving the client’s needs instead of purely profits. Could the better business decision be to listen and empower the client to succeed? So, with a healthy dose of entrepreneurial spirit, Panatda set out to start her own company.

Our Story (cont.)
Enter Clay, partner and web developer at PNW. A small business advocate and bagel connoisseur (don’t get him started on what makes the perfect bagel!) from North Carolina. Clay has spent his career in Seattle at tech startups developing software for small businesses.
Working closely with small business clients, Clay developed an appreciation for the immense challenge a small business owner faces navigating the ever-evolving ecosystem of web platforms, strategies, and tools in a world that demands an online presence for growth.
The rest Is history!
As I’m sure, you’ve already guessed, Panatda and Clay teamed up to form PNW Web Devs, driven by their shared vision. The rest is history.
We’re not the only reputable web designers who share the values of transparency, honesty, open communication, and client focus (we’ve met many great folks along the way!). But by our math, there are still far too few. And far too many horror stories. Join us and help to change that today.
