Delmarva Digital

What Delmarva Digital does

Delmarva Digital is a privately held, founder-owned custom web development and software solutions firm founded in 1997 and headquartered in Laurel, Delaware. The company designs, develops, hosts, and supports custom websites, enterprise portals, e-commerce platforms, mobile applications, document management systems, learning management systems, and CPQ (configure-price-quote) software for small businesses, large enterprises (including entities over $4 billion in size), and government clients at the state, county, and municipal level. The portfolio includes a proprietary CMS, the FilePORT document management platform, and a branded eGovernment suite (GovPORT.PRO, CityPORT.PRO, PolicePORT.PRO, LegislaturePRO) along with integrated digital marketing services (SEO, SEM, email, social, retargeting, video, and reputation management). The firm is 100% U.S.-based and gated to clients it hosts, with ActiveAuthorize.net payment integration as a named third-party integration.

The underlying technology stack is built primarily on ColdFusion with proprietary application frameworks, mobile-responsive layouts, and APIs for ERP/CRM/POS integration. Day-to-day operations are led by co-founders Tim Smith (CEO) and Alan Cole (COO, a former NSA Military Intelligence officer and Bronze Star recipient), supported by a 11–50 person team including long-tenured senior developers. The company is revenue-silent in public disclosures and has no reported institutional funding, M&A, or leadership transitions.

The business model is professional services–led: clients engage via a quote-based, no-cost consultation, with revenue generated through one-time project fees for custom build work, recurring hosting and support subscriptions, and ancillary transaction fees on e-commerce and communication systems. Distribution is direct sales, including enterprise field sales targeting large corporations and government entities, supplemented by website quote requests and phone sales. The company has served hundreds of clients across the United States and internationally, including government and banking engagements in emerging economies across Africa and Asia/Middle East.
