Our Mission

Empowering local businesses to thrive in the digital age

Too many talented local businesses struggle online—not because they lack quality, but because they lack the tools and expertise to communicate their value digitally.

We exist to change that. Our mission is to be the bridge between exceptional local services and the customers who need them—creating digital experiences that are as clear, professional, and trustworthy as the businesses they represent.

Every website we build, every SEO strategy we implement, every piece of content we craft is designed with one goal: to help real businesses connect with real customers and grow sustainably.

Our Values

The Principles That Guide Us

These aren't just words on a wall—they're the standards we hold ourselves to on every project.

Clarity First

We cut through the noise. Every solution we deliver is designed to be clear, intuitive, and purposeful.

Genuine Partnership

Your success is our success. We invest in understanding your business as deeply as our own.

Results-Driven

Beautiful design means nothing without performance. We measure success by the growth we generate.

Transparent Always

No hidden fees, no jargon, no surprises. We communicate openly and honestly at every step.

Craft & Quality

We sweat the details others miss. Every pixel, every line of code, every interaction matters.

Forward Thinking

Technology evolves fast. We stay ahead so your digital presence never falls behind.

Founder's Corner

A Note From Our Founder

Evan Smith

Founder & Lead Developer

After more than a decade as a software engineer—building apps at enterprise companies, leading mobile and web teams, and freelancing for startups—I saw a gap I couldn't ignore: local businesses deserve better digital experiences.

I've shipped Android and iOS apps used by millions, architected web platforms at scale, and managed engineering teams. Now I'm channeling that experience into something more personal—helping the businesses that form the backbone of our community compete in the digital world.

Lucid Web Studios is new, but the expertise behind it isn't. Every project gets the same level of care and technical excellence I brought to enterprise products—just tailored for businesses that need it most.
