What H1 Web Development does

H1 Web Development is a 5-person, founder-led web design and development agency headquartered in Denver, Colorado, with a second office in Raleigh. Founded in 2016, the firm specializes in 100% custom Shopify and Webflow builds — no templates — serving e-commerce and business-website clients across the United States. Co-branded Webflow Premium Partner and Shopify Development Partner, H1 has delivered over 250 Webflow websites and cites 10+ years of platform experience, with a portfolio spanning apparel, food service, dental care, fine dining, employee benefits, and corporate gifting (e.g., RefiJet, Perini Ranch Steakhouse, Apolla Performance Wear, Risewell, Fat Shack).

The core technology stack is Shopify and Webflow, hosted on AWS with PCI-compliant payments and SSL, supported by a custom-built CMS layer for client content updates. The firm integrates a large set of third-party apps — Klaviyo, Mailchimp, Recharge, Rebuy, Stamped, Yotpo, Judge.me, Stoq, Salesforce, HubSpot, Google Analytics, and nonprofit tools (Blackbaud, Kindful, Bloomerang) — to assemble custom fly-out carts, multi-address shipping, subscription billing, B2B wholesale, and review workflows. Development is paired with digital strategy, SEO copywriting, content migration, and ongoing site management, producing a full-service build-and-maintain offering rather than a software product.

Revenue derives from three streams: one-time custom development projects (Shopify themes starting at $10,000), monthly retainer packages for ongoing support with prioritized queue access, and recurring hosting at $50/month plus hourly consulting at $125/hour. Go-to-market is consultative and direct: a free 30-minute consultation feeds a discovery-to-launch sales process, supplemented by content marketing, SEO, and organic LinkedIn/Facebook presence. The company is privately held, has no disclosed funding, no parent company, and operates as a Colorado LLC.
