About
I founded Thencan Designs to help your small business get more local customers. Let’s do this! 💪
Thencan: Origin word of “thoughtful.”
I chose Thencan as the name of my business because I wanted to make thoughtful websites.
After building websites for a while, I realized that small business owners need more than just a thoughtful website.
They needed More TLC: Traffic, Leads, and Clients.
I love solving problems and I’ve gone down every rabbit hole to serve my clients better. From Google Business Profiles to Local SEO, Conversion Rate Optimization to Email Marketing, PPC to Local Service Ads – if it will help my clients get more business, I’ll master it.
Sick of working with giant digital marketing agencies that forget about you after you’ve signed a contract? Try working with a regular dude that actually lives in Bend.
