Built by families who know what it means to work for something.
We're not a faceless agency. We're two people from Iowa with real stakes here, and every site we build is a bet on a local business winning online.
7+ years in enterprise tech sales, managing six-figure accounts and advising on digital strategy, now bringing that thinking to Western Iowa small businesses without the agency price tag.
Woodbine-raised and embedded in the Western Iowa business community. He knows the owners, the towns, and what it takes to earn trust here, and builds every site with that local investment in mind.
Why we built this.
Both of us come from blue collar families, the kind that built towns with concrete and hammers, our families worked for companies that put everything on the line to operate. Johnnie watched 2008 shake the foundation out from under good people, and we both watched Covid do it again. Those moments changed how we see things. Local businesses aren't just storefronts. They're families, legacies, and the backbone of communities like ours.
We built Sims & Freund Creative Studio to be the option that didn't exist for businesses like the ones we grew up around. Since launching, we've built sites for tattoo studios, restaurants, wedding companies, and local retailers across Iowa, each one custom, each one built to perform.
We're not a faceless agency. We're two people with real stakes in this region, and every site we build is a bet on a local business succeeding online.
