At First + Third, it is our mission to outperform average agencies. We believe that when an agency only thinks about how to get a project done and not enough about the client’s goals, it becomes impossible for the project to be a success. 

As an organization, we are obsessed with helping our clients understand and achieve their objectives through thoughtful, well-executed web design and development. We are relentless in our pursuit of the very best solution for each individual client and work tirelessly until the desired results are achieved. 

As a team, we invest ourselves fully in meeting our client’s goals as if they were our own because when they succeed, we do too. 

If this sounds like it would be a good fit for you, we’d love to hear from you. Here’s how the process works: 

1. Apply: Introduce yourself and let us know a little about yourself. 
2. We’ll Get Together: Virtually, of course, we’ll set up a time to get to know each other, ask questions, and make sure we’re both a good fit for one another. 
3. Succeed Together: We’ll get to work helping our clients reach their goals because when they succeed, we do too. 

First + Third is an agency deeply committed to helping leaders understand and achieve business goals through thoughtful, well-executed, and expertly managed web design and development. With over 20 years of experience, we have had the privilege of working with organizations such as LeanIn.Org, Facebook, Billboard Music, Girls Who Code, Soylent, and The Hollywood Reporter to name a few.  We are proud to be a Wordpress VIP and Shopify Plus partner.
