What Pixelstrike Creative does

Pixelstrike Creative LLC is a privately held, bootstrapped creative agency founded in 2015 and headquartered at 2800 Buford Road, Suite 204, in Richmond, Virginia. The firm operates with a small team of approximately five to six individuals organized around three named partners — Juliette Oliva (Chief Design Officer, Creative Director), Louise Strickland (Chief Marketing Officer, Brand Strategist), and Joe Baker (Developer, Operations Director) — supported by Lead Web Developer Mike Oberdick. Its service portfolio is structured around four core pillars (Websites, Branding, Digital Design, and Content) with ancillary offerings in Website Maintenance and ADA Compliance/Accessibility auditing. The agency is certified as a Small Women and Minority-Owned Business (SWAM) by the Commonwealth of Virginia and was recognized across three Expertise.com 2026 "Best of Richmond" lists.

The firm's technical foundation is custom WordPress theme development using Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) for structured content management, deliberately excluding off-the-shelf page builders such as Elementor or Divi. Deliverables emphasize responsive/mobile-first design, on-page SEO best practices (meta data, fast load times, mobile responsiveness), and WCAG/ADA accessibility compliance. Revenue is generated entirely through custom project-based engagements — websites, branding packages, digital design, and content creation — with no published pricing tiers and a stated minimum of approximately $2,000-$3,000 for simple custom WordPress sites. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, relying on free consultation calls, custom proposals, content marketing via the company blog, organic social media on Facebook/Instagram/LinkedIn, and thought-leadership presentations to industry associations.

The customer base skews heavily toward small and mid-sized businesses across a diverse set of verticals (legal services, agriculture, sports training, courier/delivery, pet food, real estate, home services, travel/tourism, insurance, government, education, and nonprofit), with occasional enterprise engagements such as Southern States Cooperative and Black Gold Pet (a Cargill subsidiary). The agency is geographically anchored in Richmond, VA while marketing itself nationally to US-based businesses. There is no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and no subsidiary structure; the firm operates as a partnership-model LLC.
