Big ideas from a small team with 43-years of combined experience.

We're a close-knit team, we've known each other our whole lives. We grew up together, went to college together, had the same major, had the same parents, we're twins.

Who We Are

Fifty52 is an experience agency located in Queenstown, Maryland.

We’re a small company of just two people with a passion for design and development. We view being small as an advantage, not a weakness.

Being small means:

Everyone knows where projects stand.

There's no trying to chase someone down who has gone on vacation to find information about a project. Anyone in the company can tell you where your project is and give you updates.

Projects move faster.

We don't have very many meetings and only take on a few projects which means clients aren't competing for attention and work hours. Less projects means our team is able to spend time achieving your goals instead of task switching.

We're motivated to succeed.

We have to wake up every morning and work like our life depends on it, because it does. If we don't keep projects moving we risk our business and our livelihood.

Mission & Values

Our mission is to convert visitors to customers for clients while providing the best user experience possible through accessible, straight-forward, and often minimalist designs that feel welcoming.

Simple is Beautiful

Beautiful websites don't have to be overly complicated with animations, hundreds of photos, and multimedia elements. They can be clean, simple, and direct while still captivating users and evoking feelings as they showcase your brand.

Authentic over Artificial (Intelligence)

As we see more companies embracing AI to speed up turn around for projects we're committed to not using AI for design or development. One of our founders won't use it at all and the other only uses it for productivity tasks, never for client work.

Everyone is Important

Its easy to say "we'll deal with accessibility later, we need to get this project launched". The problem is often that just leads to accessibility being constantly kicked down the road and later becomes never. We believe that accessibility should be considered and implemented from the start so that every visitor can use your website.

Meet the Team

Our team consists of two people and a dog. One developer, one project manager, both acting as experience creators with degree's in digital arts, and the office dog for morale.
