Our Family

We build awesome stuff for awesome people and find joy in it.

Your headaches = Our happy place

Nuts, right? But that’s what everyone on the MayeCreate team has in common (other than our love for dogs and tacos) – we’re not order takers, we’re problem solvers. And websites are our favorite kinds of puzzles to solve. Making your stuff work is what gets us out of bed in the morning.

MAYECREATE CORE VALUES

Creativity

We don’t do cookie-cutter anything. We’re constantly questioning our own processes, making sure we’re doing things the right way for you right now – not just because “that’s how we’ve always done it.”

Fair warning: We’re going to collaborate. A lot. With our team, with you, with other experts when needed. Because the best solutions come from people who actually talk to each other.

Solutions

We’re basically professional problem solvers with a curious streak. We take a curious approach to finding realistic, sustainable solutions. Novel concept, right?

Here’s the thing: We actually enjoy figuring stuff out. Give us a puzzle and we’re happy. Give us a website puzzle and we’re in our element.

Service

We serve our clients so they can focus on what they’re actually supposed to be doing – running their businesses.

We give our knowledge freely – in our blog, through our sales process, and while working with our clients. We put your needs first and actively seek out clients who also operate with a service-driven mission. Birds of a feather and all that.

Integrity

We know what we’re really awesome at, when to say no, and when to lean into others for support. It’s called self-awareness, and it’s surprisingly rare in this industry.

We always do things to the best of our ability – not cutting corners because “the client wouldn’t notice.” We use our experience to anticipate problems before they become disasters. Because nobody has time for preventable headaches.

Respect

We thrive in an atmosphere of mutual respect where clients trust us to do our job and have realistic expectations. Revolutionary, we know.

We expect honesty and upfront communication. We respect our clients and each other so much we communicate openly even when it might be perceived as conflict. Sometimes the truth stings a little, but it’s better than pretending everything’s fine when it’s not.

    Monica founded MayeCreate, and our story begins.
  • 2005

    Moved into our first office space sharing with First Tier Realtors

    Jesus the fish died. We chose not to take it as a bad omen (he was named Jesus because he took many naps, making him look dead, but would suddenly come back to life)

  • 2007

    We started our (still going strong!) blog

  • 2007

    Our offices moved to Monica’s house, making us pioneers in the working-from-home trend or just a result of the crappy recession trend

  • 2008

    Decided office life is happier with dogs, and welcomed Roxie to the team

  • 2010

    Monica, our founder, had her first baby! Ellis, AKA E-Bomb because you never know when she’s gonna get loud!

  • 2009

    Moved to our office on Rogers Street

  • 2009

    We welcomed the dogs Maybe and Roxie as our office support staff

  • 2011

    Moved to our office on Locust street

  • 2011

    Stacy, our favorite wearer of many hats, joined the team and has kept us functioning ever since

  • 2011

    We started our annual lake trip with just one afternoon of swimming and now it has morphed into a whole weekend!

  • 2012

    Tyler, our Lead Designer, joined the team and we’re not sure whether his design, lifting or Rubik’s cube solving skills are the most impressive

  • 2012

    Became the marketing sponsor for CoMoGives, a local, year-end online giving campaign, a role we’re proud to continue

  • 2014

    We began our focus to serve the construction industry

  • 2015

    Moved to our office on Cherry street

    Quimby, Cuddle Analytics Manager, joined the team in a key role

  • 2018

    Learned a valuable lesson when we burned Ramen noodles in the microwave and Stacy had to order a new one

  • 2020

    A quiet, uneventful year, so we started a podcast

  • 2020

    Kerra, Office Manager, joined the team as the doer of the things needing to be done. We couldn’t function without her!

  • 2021

    Moved to our current office on Green Meadows Drive

  • 2023

    MayeCreate tried out the 4 day work week concept and fell in love. They continue with 4 day work weeks most weeks of the year.

  • 2023

    We opened our Camdenton MayeCreate branch (which really just houses Monica but calling it a branch makes her feel important so “branch” it is!).

  • 2024

    We welcomed the optimistic bundle of energy that is Malley to the MayeCreate dog pack.

Quimby & Malley  Cuddle Analytics Managers

Ugh – we’re so glad we’re NOT an animal!

Sleep, eat, play, walk, sniff, snuggle (rinse and repeat).

More on Quimby & Malley

Quimby has mastered the art of chill. Her zen-like calm and legendary stillness once led a visitor to mistake her for a decorative pillow. She loves everyone—though she’ll admit it takes her a moment to warm up to strangers, it’s not easy to tell if they’re safe or not!

Malley is the eternal optimist and perpetual motion machine of this two-dog team. Barely more than a pup, she’s equal parts energy and mischief. Malley believes the world is her playground, and everything in it is hers for the taking—especially if it belongs to Quimby.

Together, Quimby and Malley are a perfect yin and yang. Malley keeps life exciting with her endless enthusiasm and knack for finding fun in every corner, while Quimby balances the energy with her mellow wisdom and quiet affection.

Key lime pie (or so my family says 😉

The one food I cannot live without is…

coffee.  My coworkers know I have a coffee problem and I openly admit it. I am ALWAYS up for a cup of coffee (or 2 or 3).

More on Andrea
