10000things - Websites & Hosting for Small Businesses
Websites for
Based in Western Oregon, we work with small business owners, makers, and non-profits across the Pacific Northwest, and with clients of all sizes nationwide. LA to Denver to New York, you get the friendly, one-on-one attention of a local partner, no matter where you and your business live.
Whether you need a quick landing page or a multi-page site with blog and shop, we’ll listen to your goals and budget, and offer options that match. And we’ll be here to support it long after launch.
We work with small businesses and not-so-small businesses, solopreneurs, makers, non-profits, and artists. People who would rather spend time on what they love than wrestle with code and DIY tutorials at midnight.
Whether you’re here in Western Oregon or somewhere else, we handle the technical side so you can focus on what you do. Every project starts with a conversation, because the best websites come from understanding the people they represent.
10000things has been around since 2010, but the experience behind it goes back almost thirty years, when websites were new and weird and usually broken.
David Chastain (that’s me) is the person you’ll talk to, the person who will build your site, and the person who will pick up the phone when you have a question two years from now. No account managers, no offshore handoffs, no surprises.
A lifelong art maker with a BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute and decades of hands-on web work, I bring a combination of technical understanding and aesthetic judgment. About 90% of new work comes from referrals and repeat clients, which is a badge of honor that I’m very proud of.
Yes. We’re based in Western Oregon and proudly serve clients throughout the Willamette Valley, Portland, Salem, Eugene, and the Pacific Northwest. But we also work with businesses of all sizes across the United States, from New York to California. The experience is the same wherever you are: friendly, direct, one-on-one.
Every project is quoted individually because every business is different. Depending on complexity and needs. A typical small business site usually in the $1,800 to $4,000 range, less for super simple, more for bigger, complex projects.
We’ll always give you a clear, custom estimate before any work begins, and an initial consultation is free with no obligation.
We’re pretty good at finding options for any budget, and happy to discuss and find an approach that fits!
Absolutely. We regularly take on existing WordPress sites for ongoing care: updates, backups, security, troubleshooting, content edits, and performance audits. If your current site is hosted elsewhere, we can usually migrate it to our hosting smoothly, or simply maintain it where it lives.
Our hosting runs on fast Google Cloud SSD servers and includes WordPress optimization, a free SSL certificate, unlimited email accounts, nightly backups with one-click restore, regular WordPress and plugin updates, and direct access to a real human (David here : ) when you need help. No upsells, no confusing dashboards, no support queues.
Good SEO starts with how a site is built: fast load times, clean code, proper structure, mobile-friendly design, and clear, well-organized content. We bake those fundamentals into every site, and we also offer dedicated SEO services and ongoing monitoring to help you rank in traditional search and get cited correctly by AI search tools.
Especially non-profits, artists, and makers! A large share of our portfolio is exactly these kinds of clients: volunteer organizations, musicians, painters, authors, and craftspeople. We genuinely enjoy translating creative work into well-built websites.
