History of Salad, a design and technology studio in Asheville, North Carolina, USA

Your brand is so much more than a logo, color palette, and a few thoughtfully-paired fonts. We’ll also help find your voice and your place in the community.

We make print pieces that people want to hang onto. Our design practice is rooted in old-school printmaking techniques, so we’re obsessed with the details. We’ll help you craft the perfect combination of concept, image, ink, paper, and scale to meet any use case.

We grew up here on the Information Superhighway, so we know how to keep people engaged with your site. Together, we’ll break down:

User Experience (UX) Design

• How do you want people to move across your site?

User Interface (UI) Design

• How can the look and feel of your site support your UX goals?

Modern Websites for Modern Times

We build lean, accessible, modern websites with the latest front-end frameworks. No site builders, no WordPress, and no bulky plugins needed to drag your site into the year 2025!

Flexible Page Building

All of our sites feature a customized CMS—that’s where you log in to edit your website—with a flexible page-builder that your content managers will love.

No More Themes

We get the appeal of drag-and-drop site builders like Squarespace and Wix, but here's the problem: they're designed to work for every kind of business, which means they don't serve anybody particularly well. Our sites are built from scratch (every time) to give you exactly what you need to grow your audience and your business.

A Serious Head Start

Your new website will have basic SEO and accessibility best practices baked right in, so you don't have to rely on third-party code to have a chance at ranking on Google.

Wanna add something weird to your site? We’ll help you figure it out. From custom cursors and flying objects to SVG animations and bespoke media players, we love building little moments of surprise and joy for people.

Every corner of the internet needs to consider the experience and needs of users with disabilities.

We’ll be happy to audit your existing site and make recommendations to help you meet (or exceed) AA-level compliance with the current Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

We know how important it is for businesses to show up in Google searches, and we know how intimidating the world of SEO optimization can feel. Whether you have the building blocks already or you’re starting from scratch, we can help you focus on the areas that count in helping your site show up in search results.

We think words matter! We’ll help you get your tagline fine-tuned, and all of your late-night blog ideas fleshed out into ready-to-publish pieces. We are also SEO experts, so we make sure that every word counts toward search result optimization.
