The Round Mountain Group

What The Round Mountain Group does

The Round Mountain Group, LLC is a privately held, founder-led web design and hosting agency headquartered in Hampton, New Jersey, serving small-to-medium businesses, local governments, and nonprofit organizations concentrated in Hunterdon County and Central New Jersey. Founded in 2004 by Louis Judice — a 30-year technology veteran with prior roles at RCA/GE, DEC, and HP and credited with creating the world's first public mobile website in 1999 — the firm offers custom website design, mobile-friendly site development, managed cloud hosting, WooCommerce-based e-commerce, domain registration, email marketing integrations, and 24x7 network monitoring under a quote-based, project-plus-subscription pricing model.

The technology stack is centered on WordPress with the Divi theme framework, WooCommerce for e-commerce, and Amazon Web Services infrastructure (S3, Glacier, CloudFront CDN, plus Softlayer and UK2 Group server facilities in New York, Salt Lake City, and Northern Virginia). A Colorado-based monitoring system flags server issues within 30 seconds and the firm has publicly reported 99.98% uptime. Security features include SSL/HTTPS across all accounts, geographic content restrictions blocking traffic from 8 high-risk countries, and membership in the New Jersey Cybersecurity Communications and Integration Cell (NJCCIC) and the National Cyber Security Alliance STOP. The firm also operates two wholly owned affiliates — Round Mountain Domains, Inc. and Round Mountain Media, Inc.

Go-to-market is consultative, direct-sales led, with founder involvement in business development and pricing negotiated per engagement; sales and support run Monday-Friday 8am-6pm via phone (+1 908 396 7111) and email. Marketing relies on content (blog posts on cybersecurity, WordPress, SEO), organic social (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube), earned media (NJ.com coverage), weekly/monthly Google Analytics summary emails, and community sponsorships (Trenton Computer Festival, River Town Film Festival). The firm was voted Best Web Agency in Hunterdon County in 2022.
