USA-based renegades (and maybe a couple of outlaws!), on a mission to spark demand with creativity & bleeding-edge tech, wrapped in radically simple monthly plans.
…but we’d rather help you become one. We don’t need applause or awards. We stay curious, question everything, and get our greatest joy from great results.
Continual improvement is achieved via continual optimization of every aspect of your website and marketing, from our infrastructure to your interface.
We build your website with either open source software or custom software you own, and we make it as portable as possible so everything we build is yours, and yours alone to do with what you like.
We’ve got some of the best engineers & creative types available. The kind of people that recruiters never stop trying to snag to go work at top tech and massive agencies. We’ve all done that and like working our select clients much better.
We do not harvest or sell your data. That is yours. Period.
All of our people and infrastructure is located in the United States, with the exception of some overseas backup, DNS, and caching servers.
We take results serious, and even if its tough on us, we give you honest reports so you can see what is working and what can be improved.
Wherever we can, we automate repeated or just boring tasks to save your valuable time. That keeps you working on what fires you up.
Just The Facts
ZERO SALES PEOPLE
Don’t need them. We’ve grown through automation, online sales, and word of mouth.
30 YEARS OF SUCCESS
We built software in 1994 and began developing with WordPress in 2005.
NO OFFICE SPACE
We’ve eliminated office space and all that goes with it: Office politics and bureaucracy that hinder great work.
WE'RE IN TWELVE STATES
We’ve got people from Maine to California, Washington to Florida, and Minnesota to Arizona, and several places in between.
STELLAR INFRASTRUCTURE
Multiple data centers, redundant backbone access, redundant power supplies, 4X a day backups, enterprise-class hardware, and more.
PRIVATELY OWNED
And we intend to stay that way. We don’t see an advantage to a board of directors and shareholders getting in the way.
History
1994-2000. Software development, hosting and web development.
2000-2004 – merged into another company for four years in hell.
2005-2007 – we built our own sites and apps, and provided services to a select few.
2008-2012 Realized yeah, we are a digital agency with software creation capabilities.
2012 to present. Because absolutely no one ever pronounced Podomani (Poe Dough MAH knee) correctly.
Enterprise Level Infrastructure
We use only the best, starting from data centers with multiple power sources, backbone internet access, backup generators, and 24/7/365 fully staffed NOC control.
Our hardware is update date, and we only use enterprise-class CPUs, SSD drivers, and hardware RAID.
Finally, the partners we choose to house, maintain, secure, and back up your sites are people we have been working with for decades that we trust.
The CEO
(Champion of Endless Optimization)
Larry Preston is a business & software developer that founded Randomworx back in 1994, which is now Digital Opera.
These days he works with the team to develop other people’s businesses online, usually taking the role of project manager, or he works on making the experience of working with Digital Opera the best it can be.
He’s also the founder and a partner at Raceday and the author of the best-selling book “Star Fire Kids – Midnight Blue Express.” When he’s not at work, he practices being a happy stoic, an aspiring minimalist, and a recovered big hair 80’s rock star with a serious guitar addiction.
Pre-Optimization
Post Optimization
Eating Our Own Dog Food
We operate our own digital businesses. We use those to test new concepts and tech, and then bring the best of the best to you.
