Little Frog Innovations

What Little Frog Innovations does

Little Frog Innovations is a privately held, founder-owned web and mobile app development studio headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The company was incorporated in 2005 in Largo, Florida by Ian LeBlanc, who had been doing contract web development since 1998; graphic artist Tyrone Thurston, whom LeBlanc met on a contract job in 2002, is the co-founder. After thirteen years in Tampa, the studio relocated to Colorado Springs in 2017. It operates as a small, hands-on team of 1-10 employees and serves small businesses seeking an online presence.

The studio offers four integrated service lines delivered through a documented four-step process (Document, Design, Develop, Deploy): Web Design using React and Next.js with SEO and analytics built in; Mobile App Development using React Native for iOS and Android, with the option to share code with web apps and to distribute through the Apple App Store and Google Play; E-Commerce Integration that connects client stores to Etsy and Amazon with inventory, pricing, and listing sync; and Cloud & API Integration connecting applications to AWS serverless infrastructure and third-party APIs (with Google Maps cited as one integration example). The technology stack is intentionally narrow: React, React Native, Node.js, Express, MongoDB, AWS serverless, and Next.js, with automated testing written during development.

The business model is professional services on a custom project basis: clients engage via a contact form or phone (727-688-4005), the team replies typically within one business day, and pricing is described as "honest" but is not publicly disclosed. There is no institutional funding, no parent company, and no disclosed revenue, customer logos, or third-party certifications. Go-to-market is direct and sales-led with no account-manager layer, and the company's stated differentiators are direct access to the builders, a faith-driven culture, and a modern but tightly scoped technology toolkit.
