We met at Rutgers studying Computer Science. Back home in Upstate NY, we kept seeing the same pattern: the bakery with a line out the door had no website. The contractor with 20 years of experience couldn't be found on Google. The salon everyone loved had no way to book online.
So we built LaunchPadWebCo — a small, engineer-run shop that does two things really well: build fast, modern websites and rank you on local Google. No bloated agencies. No outsourcing. Just us.
Full-stack engineer. Builds the websites end-to-end — from architecture to pixel-pushing. Previously interned on enterprise SaaS dashboards. Will argue about TypeScript at length. Alex leads all web design and development projects for our Finger Lakes and Southern Tier clients.
Owns rankings, Google Business Profiles, citations, and the analytics that prove it's working. Believes a good keyword strategy beats a six-figure ad budget every time. Kaden runs local SEO strategy for small businesses across Corning, Elmira, Ithaca, and Binghamton.
Designs the brand, runs client calls, and turns business owners' rough ideas into copy and visuals that convert. The reason our sites don't look like every other dev shop. Marcus handles design and client strategy for every web design project we take on across Upstate New York.
Your site is hand-coded by people who actually understand what's under the hood. No drag-and-drop bloat.
We're based in Upstate NY and we work with NY/NJ businesses we can actually meet in person.
Three of us. You always know who's working on your project. No account managers, no handoffs.
