Software Development 01
Most agencies outsource the build. We are the build. Zoned Marketing was founded by software engineers, so the people who write your code sit in the same room as the strategists and creatives. That means faster sites, cleaner integrations, and platforms that hold up long after launch day.
Tech-first by DNA 01
Our Head of Web & Digital Experience has shipped full-stack software for nearly a decade: JavaScript, PHP, Python, React and Node across AWS and GCP, including 10+ clean-energy program sites for Clean Power Alliance. That's not a portfolio line; it's the standard every build is held to.
It means we think about the things that bite you in year two: data models, performance budgets, accessibility, security, and the handoff to your team. We build marketing systems, not throwaway microsites. Every site is engineered to convert today and easy to run for years.
See the Clean Power Alliance work →What we build 02
From a marketing site that has to load in under two seconds to a custom platform with a dozen integrations: it's the same senior engineers, the same standards, end to end.
Restaurant sites with online ordering and reservations, multi-location hospitality platforms, marketing sites and full web applications built on WordPress, React, Node and PHP. Component-driven front ends, clean APIs and editor experiences your team can actually use, with no rigid templates and no "don't touch that page" fragility.
Explore web applications →Decoupled and hybrid architectures that let content teams move fast while engineers ship to any front end. Structured content models, role-based workflows and a CMS shaped around how your organization actually publishes, not the other way around.
Storefronts engineered to sell: restaurant online-ordering and digital-menu systems, Shopify and custom commerce with the merchandising, checkout, delivery-app and POS integration work that moves real revenue. The same B2C playbook that helped take a new Caterpillar Fans store to $300K/month in its first year.
Explore e-commerce →Practical AI that earns its keep: reservation and lead-qualification chatbots, review and reputation-management automation for restaurants, retrieval-augmented assistants trained on your content, and automations that quietly remove the manual busywork between your tools. Built responsibly, with humans in the loop.
Explore AI & automation →Production-grade hosting on AWS, GCP and WHM/cPanel, provisioned, monitored and maintained, with a 99.9% uptime target. CDN, caching, backups, staging pipelines and security patching, so the platform we build stays fast and stays up.
Explore hosting & infrastructure →Every build ships WCAG 2.1 AA-conformant and technically SEO-sound from the first commit: semantic markup, performance budgets, structured data and clean information architecture. Accessibility and findability aren't a phase-two retrofit; they're baked into the foundation.
The stack behind the buildThe stack 03
Our team has shipped full-stack software across JavaScript, PHP and Python for the better part of a decade. So we pick the platform that's right for your build and your team's reality, then engineer it to last, on cloud infrastructure we run ourselves.
React component systems, modern JavaScript and accessible, semantic HTML for fast, interactive interfaces your users feel before they notice.
Node and PHP services, Python where it earns its place, clean REST and API layers, and data models built to hold up under real load.
WordPress done properly, plus headless and hybrid setups that decouple the editor from the front end, giving you structured content your team can actually run.
AWS and GCP for hosting and pipelines, WHM/cPanel where it fits, and pragmatic AI, including chatbots, RAG assistants and automation, wired in responsibly.
The standard 04
A site that excludes people or hides from search isn't finished, no matter how good it looks. We engineer for both from the start, which matters even more in the regulated, public-facing work we do most.
Restaurant build · ordering & reservationsHow we build 05
You'll always know where the build stands, what's next, and why. No black boxes, no surprise change orders, no "the developer who knew that left."
We map your users, goals and constraints, then design the data model, stack and integrations before a line of production code is written.
Reusable components and real, clickable prototypes so stakeholders can react to the actual experience, not a static mockup.
Iterative sprints on a live staging environment you can watch, with accessibility and performance checks running the whole way.
Cross-browser, cross-device, WCAG and security testing, plus load and Core Web Vitals validation before anything ships.
A clean, monitored deploy, then real training and documentation so your team owns the platform with confidence on day one.
Hosting, monitoring, patching and a roadmap, because a marketing system should get smarter and faster over time, not decay.
Restaurant builds 06
Restaurant and hospitality work is where Zoned Marketing goes deepest. A restaurant site isn't a brochure — it's a revenue surface. We engineer the pieces that turn a hungry visitor into a covered table or a placed order, then wire them into the tools your floor already runs on.
Digital menu & online orderingThese are the engineering standards we hold every build to, measured by capability not borrowed client numbers.
Why Zoned Marketing 07
Most shops bolt a developer onto a marketing team, or a marketer onto a dev team. We were built integrated, which is why the seams disappear.
Founder-led development with 9+ years of full-stack experience, not a junior team learning on your budget.
Code, SEO, analytics, CRM and creative live under one roof, so the build is wired for performance from day one.
Accessibility, security and compliance are second nature, sharpened on public-sector and regulated work.
Your code, your accounts, your data, clean documentation. No proprietary lock-in, no hostage situations.
Speed and Core Web Vitals are tracked as first-class requirements, not a nice-to-have you discover later.
The people in the pitch are the people in the repo: boutique attention with national-firm standards.
Proof 08
A note on attribution: these are engagements our founders and senior team have led, several during prior tenures. We present them as the experience you'd be hiring: credentials, not company client logos.
