About Us
Our Story
Pinecoast Creative is a web design studio
specializing in websites for experience-driven brands.
We love to work with clients in the travel and tourism industries, including travel agents, tour operators, guided tours and experiences, cruise lines, short-term rentals, excursions, travel bloggers, outdoor recreation businesses and clubs, theme parks and attractions, and everything in between!
Whether you’re in these fields or any other industry, we also offer WordPress website maintenance to ensure your online presence stays up-to-date and running smoothly.
How We Started…
Pinecoast Creative started in 2015 as Katie Thompson Web Design & Development. In 2019, we expanded and re-branded into a full-service web design agency, and we’re continuing to grow! In 2024, we made the decision to specialize in websites for experience-driven brands and the travel industry.
Our team now includes a branding expert, a copywriter, a maintenance technician, a front-end developer/web designer, and a back-end web developer.
We all run our own businesses- we work from home, we have families, and we juggle all the responsibilities and have all the same struggles that come with being a small business owner. We know how vital websites are to small businesses and the impact a well-made website can have on your bottom line. It’s our mission to provide you with a website you’re proud of so your business can succeed.
We can’t wait to get to know you and learn about your unique goals. Hopefully we can work together for years to come!
