Relish Studio helps good people do great things online. We're a Boulder, Colorado web design and digital marketing agency, and since 2008 we've worked almost exclusively with nonprofits, B Corps, and purpose-driven organizations the folks measuring success in people and planet as well as profit.

We start with strategy, not tactics. Our Audience Engagement Cycle (Attract, Connect, Bond, Inspire) maps how your audiences actually find you, trust you, and take action, so every page on your site has a job to do. From there, we design and build conversion-focused WordPress websites that are fast, accessible, and easy for your team to update no developer on speed dial required.

What we do:

  • Marketing strategy, from a quick AEC Assessment to our full Strategy FIRST engagement
  • Website design and development, primarily on WordPress
  • SEO and generative engine optimization (GEO), so you show up in search and in AI answers
  • WordPress Health & Security care plans that keep your site updated, backed up, and protected
The results speak for our clients: PrimeHealth+, a Grand Junction nonprofit, grew new users by more than 150% in its first year after launch. Seniors Resource Center nearly doubled its website traffic year over year. Unbreakable Inc went from open appointment slots to a waitlist within a year.

We're small by design. You'll work directly with our co-founders, Stu Swineford and Bret Orton, not a rotating cast of account managers. We offer special pricing for nonprofits, and we'll tell you honestly when you don't need something.

If your organization exists to make things better, let's talk.

We had a wonderful experience working with Stu at Relish Studio on our Gala website! As this was our first time creating a dedicated website for a special event, we had an initial vision for the design, but as the project evolved, we discovered so many more creative possibilities and practical ways to use the site. Stu was incredibly accommodating, flexible, and patient throughout the process, embracing each round of edits and iterations with a positive, solutions-oriented approach. He also helped us navigate the limitations and workarounds associated with our CMS and domain setup. In the end, Stu delivered a beautiful, effective website that has helped us spread the word about our Gala and bring our vision to life. We truly appreciated his collaboration and would happily recommend Relish Studio! "

Relish is much more than a digital agency, they’re truly a partner, an extension of your team. Relish Studio offers the best of all worlds–top-notch digital expertise, personalized service and a truly enjoyable experience. "
Ali Kennedy's Review Sourced from Google
I have known Stu and Bret since 2008, after an RFP was distributed to companies interested in designing and implementing a new website for the non-profit organization I worked for at the time. They submitted a comprehensive, detailed and very competitive bid. After narrowing it down to the final two contenders—and Relish was one of the two, I made the terrible mistake of choosing the other company. The firm we chose did what we hired them to do---build us a new website. But the “extras” not included in the original proposal put us way over budget and, to complicate it even further, my original representative with the vendor I selected left the company shortly after we engaged their services, and things began to fall apart for the duration of the project. Meanwhile, the team at Relish Studio were gracious and understanding with my decision, so much so that while in the middle of the rebuild of our website, I contracted with Relish to do some other side work for us---and I soon realized that, with Relish, I was working with the best in the field. They continued to deliver exceptional results for the remaining six years I was employed at the organization, and they have remained at the top of my list in the years that followed.Their knowledge is extensive, broad and impressive when it comes to online marketing and social media strategies, content development, branding, etc. That made me feel even more secure and confident handing them any project that arose. They are, quite simply, second to none. Yes, I very much regret not hiring them that first time I was introduced to them. But I soon learned my lesson, and they rose to the occasion repeatedly with all the projects I would give them, delivering solid and effective solutions each and every time. I could not be more enthusiastic in my endorsement of Relish Studio. These guys are the best. "

We worked with Relish Studio to help launch a new business and were delighted with their work. They helped create our image and logo and helped design marketing materials, and built and help maintain our website. The Relish Team is innovative with a keen eye for designing effective materials. They have been extremely easy to work with, and are readily available to help however needed. I will absolutely hire them again if the opportunity knocks, and give them my highest recommendation. "

We have been working with Stu and the Relish Team for over 4 months now and we feel so lucky to have connected with them. They have brought us many fresh ideas and are helping us to upgrade a very old web site with creativity and patience. Thank you so much, Relish!!!! "
Catherine Rollhaus's Review Sourced from Google
Relish Studio helped us create a beautiful, modern website that reflects who we are as a company. Bret and Stu were especially great to work with—responsive, thoughtful, and quick to communicate. Even when challenges came up, the team handled them professionally and worked hard to keep things moving in the right direction. We’re really pleased with the final result. "
