SLIDEFACTORY

Portland Web Development Company

Building a business today requires more than an online presence. Modern brands need scalable, high-performance websites and digital platforms that are easy to manage, simple to update, and built to solve real business challenges. Based in Portland, Oregon, SLIDEFACTORY is a web design and development agency serving companies across the Pacific Northwest, creating custom web experiences that improve local search visibility, streamline day-to-day operations, and support long-term growth.

Web Development Built for Start-ups and Portland Businesses

If you're a Portland business building a startup, a small business, or a growing shop, and you need more than just a website. You need a dependable digital system that captures leads after hours, supports peak sales times, and keeps your products, inventory, and operations in sync without manual work or scattered spreadsheets.

SLIDEFACTORY builds web platforms that integrate into how your business already works, and helps them to work better. Whether you're running a Pearl District retail operation managing multiple locations, a creative studio showcasing client work, or a service business coordinating teams across the metro area, we architect solutions around your actual workflow.

What We Build

WordPress & Headless CMS Platforms

Content management that your team will actually use. Custom WordPress development with advanced functionality, or headless CMS architecture using React and Next.js when your platform needs more power than traditional systems offer.

Webflow Development

Design-forward websites with visual precision and content management flexibility. Custom Webflow builds that give your team editing control while maintaining design integrity. Ideal for marketing sites, portfolios, and content-driven platforms where visual presentation matters as much as functionality.

eCommerce & Retail Platforms

Shopping experiences designed for how Portland consumers browse and buy. Shopify customizations, WooCommerce builds, or custom eCommerce solutions that handle everything from inventory sync to subscription management.

Web Applications & Portals

When your business needs something closer to software than a website. Client portals, booking systems, workflow tools, data visualization dashboards, interactive platforms built with modern JavaScript frameworks.

API Integration & System Architecture

Connecting your website to your business infrastructure. CRM integration, payment processing, inventory systems, marketing automation, third-party data feeds, we make your digital tools communicate.

Development for Portland Businesses

Many websites look modern on the surface but still rely on outdated infrastructure underneath. Outdated website architecture and legacy web platforms create long-term issues that eventually show up as slow performance, weak search visibility, and rising maintenance costs.

Performance That Directly Affects Revenue

Users expect fast website performance, especially on mobile. Industry research from Site Builder Report shows that more than half of mobile users abandon a page if it takes longer than three seconds to load, with bounce rates increasing sharply as delays grow . With nearly half of all web traffic now coming from mobile devices, speed has become a baseline requirement.

Performance also has a measurable impact on conversion rates. Data cited by Site Builder Report also indicates that a one-second delay in mobile load time can reduce conversions by as much as 20 percent . Faster sites keep users engaged longer and make it easier for them to complete key actions.

Search visibility is influenced as well. Google has confirmed that page speed is a ranking signal, a point reinforced by analysis from Search Atlas , which highlights page speed optimization as a key factor in SEO rankings and organic discoverability .

Security That Protects Your Business and Customers

Portland businesses handle customer data, online payments, and user accounts every day. Basic SSL certificates alone are not enough. Research published by Network Solutions shows that nearly half of cyberattacks target small businesses, often exploiting outdated platforms and weak infrastructure.

We apply website security best practices at the architectural level, including secure authentication, protected API communication, regular dependency updates, and reliable backup systems. This approach is shaped by firsthand experience remediating compromised sites.

Scalability That Supports Growth

Businesses evolve quickly, and websites must evolve with them. Features that seem unnecessary at launch often become essential within months. Sites built without scalable web architecture frequently require costly rebuilds rather than manageable enhancements.

We design scalable websites with flexible database structures, extensible codebases, and hosting environments that grow with demand. The result is a platform that adapts as your business changes, rather than holding it back.

How We Approach Web Development Projects

Technical Discovery

Before writing a single line of code, we map your technical requirements. What systems need to connect? What data flows where? What functionality is essential versus nice-to-have? What performance benchmarks matter for your industry?

This discovery phase saves weeks of revision later. We've learned that spending two days understanding technical requirements prevents two months of rebuilding features that missed the mark.

Iterative Development

We don't disappear for twelve weeks then unveil a finished product. Our process involves regular working prototypes, feedback loops, and incremental builds. You see progress weekly, not monthly.

This approach catches misalignments early when they're easy to fix, rather than during final review when changes mean delays and budget overruns.

Quality Assurance That Actually Catches Issues

Testing happens continuously, not just before launch. Automated testing for critical functionality. Manual testing across devices and browsers. Load testing under realistic traffic conditions. Security audits. Accessibility compliance.

We catch problems in development, not in production.

Documentation & Knowledge Transfer

When we hand over a completed project, you receive documentation explaining how everything works. Not technical manuals written for other developers, but clear guides for your team. How to add content, manage users, update settings, troubleshoot common issues.You shouldn't need to contact us every time someone needs to make a basic change.

Working With Clients Across Portland and Beyond

While we're based in Portland and work extensively with local businesses from Alberta Arts to West Linn, our clients span nationwide. The advantage of local collaboration—face-to-face meetings, understanding regional market dynamics, quick response times—combines with the capability to serve companies anywhere.

For Portland clients, we're available for in-person project kickoffs, design reviews, and strategic sessions. We understand the local business ecosystem, from competing in saturated markets like craft beverages to serving Portland's environmentally and socially conscious consumer base.

For clients outside Portland, we've refined remote collaboration practices that maintain the same quality and communication as local partnerships.

Ownership and Long-Term Partnership

You Own Your Platform

Code repositories are yours. Content is accessible and exportable. No proprietary systems locking you in. If you decide to work with different developers in the future, you can—without rebuilding from scratch.

Ongoing Support Options

Websites require maintenance. Content updates, security patches, feature additions, troubleshooting. We offer flexible support arrangements—from basic maintenance plans to full-service partnerships where we handle all technical aspects.

Choose the level of involvement that makes sense for your team's capabilities and bandwidth.

Growth and Enhancement

As your business evolves, your web platform should too. New features, expanded functionality, integration with additional systems—we build today with tomorrow in mind, making enhancements straightforward rather than complicated.

Starting a Web Development Project

Every project begins with conversation. What are you trying to accomplish? What constraints are you working within? What timeline makes sense for your business goals?

From there, we develop a technical proposal outlining approach, timeline, and investment. No pressure, no hard sells—just clear information to help you make an informed decision.

Projects typically range from focused 4-6 week builds for straightforward sites to 3-6 month engagements for complex platforms with extensive custom functionality.
