About Us

Simple, effective websites for local businesses

In 2023, Ean Carr founded Oak+Wire in Paso Robles, California, after noticing a gap in the web development market. On one side, DIY platforms like Wix and Squarespace leave businesses looking generic, while full-service web design agencies charge a small fortune.

Those DIY platforms are good value and let you do a lot but then again, you have to do the work, even with the fancy AI tools they’ve added. On the other side, you have brilliant digital marketing agencies that will leverage their team to create world-class digital experiences for you and your customers. But they’re gonna charge you $6,000 to even set one foot in the door and upsell you on all sorts of stuff you probably don’t need. And by the way, it’s gonna take at least a month.

Surely there has to be someone in between, who’s not your nephew? A professional you can hire to make you a simple, screaming fast, well-designed site, all with reasonable, upfront pricing and turnaround usually around a week?

👋 Well hello there, we’re Oak+Wire. We build websites for local trade businesses that actually get the phone to ring. $2,500 flat, we handle everything after that for $59/month. No contracts with agencies, no WordPress headaches, no thinking about hosting or updates. Your site loads fast, looks great on a phone, and has your number front and center. You go back to running your business.
