What Spacetime does

Spacetime, LLC is a privately held, founder-led web design and user experience agency operating from the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex (offices referenced in Plano and Carrollton, Texas), serving startups, small/mid-market businesses, and select enterprise brands including Dude Perfect, Bell Helicopter, and Highland Homes. The firm delivers an integrated suite of services spanning UX/UI design, full-stack web development, WordPress hosting, technical SEO, branding, Shopify eCommerce, and startup MVP development, built on an open-source-first technology stack (Ruby on Rails, Angular, React, WordPress with FoundationPress/Zurb Foundation, hosted on Heroku and Amazon S3) with integrations into YouTube, Zillow, Recurly, Mindbody, ZingFit, and Stripe APIs.

The business operates a dual revenue model. Professional services — design, development, MVP builds, rebrands, SEO — are delivered on a project or retainer basis through direct client engagement (consultation, proposals, contact-form inquiries), while a managed WordPress hosting subscription product (Basic $50/month, Premium $100/month, White Glove $350/month) introduces the only publicly disclosed recurring-revenue stream. Delivery is executed by an 8-person core team supplemented by a partner ecosystem of specialized firms — CrateBind for strategy/design/development, Simply Design Group for WordPress and marketing support, and Brass Tacks Collective for branding and print — allowing the agency to scale capacity per project without proportional headcount growth.

The firm is led by Founder-CEO Chase Hilbert, with no disclosed institutional funding, acquisitions, or parent-company relationships. Revenue, headcount trends, and growth metrics are not publicly disclosed; the operational footprint is domestic US, with a notable cross-vertical client mix spanning media, aerospace, homebuilding, fitness, fintech, real estate, and consumer hardware, and no disclosed AI/ML or proprietary technology investments beyond conventional open-source web frameworks.
