Technology and web design for people who have better things to worry about.
Most websites for small businesses, artists, and freelancers fall into one of two categories: the template that looks like everyone else's template, or the expensive custom build that took six months and still isn't quite right. We think there's a better middle ground — and we've spent more than twenty years building it.
Two Bit Consulting helps individuals, small businesses, and mission-driven organizations build a web presence that's genuinely theirs. Design led by Maura. Technology handled by Jake. And when your organization needs more than a website — when the real problem is that your people don't trust their tools, or your systems don't talk to each other, or you just need someone to call when things go sideways — that's what the IT side of our work is for.
Most technology problems are people problems. The tools usually work. The harder question is whether the right people trust them, understand them, and actually want to use them. That's a problem we've spent a long time solving — and it shows up in how we build websites too.
Design & Web — Most websites look like they were made by someone who'd never met the person they were building for. We think your web presence should feel like you — intentional, considered, and actually yours. Take a look at our portfolio.
We build websites for artists, freelancers, small businesses, and mission-driven organizations who want more than a template. Sites that load fast, look sharp, and give you something you can own and build on — not just rent from a platform until the algorithm changes.
We also believe in the indie web: the idea that your corner of the internet should belong to you, not to a social media company. We can help you build a presence that lives on your own domain, connects to the wider web on your terms, and doesn't disappear when the next platform does.
IT Services — Individuals and small organizations who need their technology to actually work. Mac support, device management, Google Workspace, security, and everything in between.
Fractional IT Leadership — Mission-driven organizations that have outgrown "whoever is good with computers" but aren't ready to hire a full-time IT director.
Jake has been building websites by hand for over twenty years — HTML, CSS, WordPress, and beyond. He's worked across platforms from static sites to full CMS builds, and still writes real code when the project calls for it. No drag-and-drop shortcuts, no mystery themes. You'll know exactly what you have and how it works.
And when your project needs a designer, Maura Cluthe brings thirty years of professional visual art and illustration experience to the table. You get a real creative collaborator, not a template picker.
There's no shortage of people who can fix your Wi-Fi or set up your email. What's harder to find is someone who understands that technology decisions are really organizational decisions — and that getting people to actually use the thing you built matters just as much as building it right. That's the work we care about.
Two Bit Consulting is based in Kansas City, Missouri. We've worked with artists, galleries, nonprofits, and creative organizations across the region — people doing work that matters, who deserve technology that supports it rather than getting in the way.
If you're in KC, we can come to you. If you're not, we can work remotely. Either way, you'll get someone who actually picks up the phone.
