Who you are working with
I have run the business behind the website.
Hi, I am Dave. Before Prairie Forge, I spent three decades learning how a business really runs, from the inside.
Ten of those years were in human resources: hiring and onboarding, training and development, pay and benefits, employee relations, and the hard calls nobody enjoys. The other twenty, I spent leading and building teams in retail, on the sales floor, in production, and in the warehouse.
So I am not a web designer who read a book about business. I am someone who hired, trained, and led real teams, who also builds clean, modern websites. Work with me and you get both.

More than a website
Building the business behind the website
A website gets you found. But getting a small business off the ground takes more than a web page. Hiring your first employee. Writing the handbook. Sorting out pay and benefits. Training a team. Handling the people problems that come with growth.
That is the work I did for years, and it is the part most web people cannot help with. The website can be where we start, or one piece of a bigger hand. If you want a sounding board who has actually done it, let us talk about that too.
