Our story

Going against the current

A veteran owned, family run studio in Colorado Springs, built on the belief that local businesses deserve better than a template.

Why I started Upstream

I kept meeting local owners with real businesses and weak websites. Four and five star shops, loved by their neighbors, stuck with a site that looked like everyone else's or with nothing at all. The big agencies felt cold, and the cheap options shipped the same recycled template every time.

Upstream means going against that current. I build a bespoke Shopify site around your business, add motion that makes it feel alive, and hand you the keys. You own it, you run it, and you talk to the person who made it.

A local business deserves a website as considered as any national brand. Same craft, same care, made by someone who answers the phone.
