Web design in Chico, California.
Running a business is hard enough. You don’t need more homework.
We build websites. We create content. We manage complexity.
Bigger isn’t better
We’re small and we like it that way. It lets us dedicate extraordinary attention to your website. We only work with people we’d like to have a beer with. That’s our niche.
Plain talk
We don’t hide behind buzzwords, or industry babble. You deserve clear, honest, and direct talk. From pricing to process, you’ll always get answers you can understand.
No second string
When you hire us, you get us. We’ll never hand your project off to some college intern or flaky freelancer. If we ever use outside sources, you’ll be the first to know.
Ern Berck Digital designed my company’s website and continues to maintain and improve it. The finished site was so beautifully designed and we have clients tell us frequently that it is easy to navigate and full of good information. Phil made a process that could have been intimidating very easy. He’s an expert in his field, great to work with and I would recommend Ern Berck Digital to anyone looking to have an outstanding online presence.

Your new website starts here
We’re fast, friendly, affordable, and we deliver under tight deadlines. We realize you don’t have time to dawdle. Neither do we.
01 Connect
We begin a relationship by listening and learning, not overwhelming you with information. We’ll determine your online goals and find out what you really need.
02 Clarify
There’s no need for Zoom meetings, PowerPoint presentations, mood boards, or “stylescapes.” We start the design process by answering three simple questions.
03 Deliver
As soon as you’re ready, and we’ve agreed on a strategy, we’ll get to work. We’ll even provide a fully functional demo site to share progress during the design process.
We never call in sick.
