From strategy and design to development and ongoing support, we deliver everything your website needs to attract, convert, and grow all under one roof.
Website Design + Development
CUSTOM sites BUILT BY HAND
Every site we build starts with your business, not a template. We get to know how you sell, who you sell to, and what you need the site to do. We then design and develop something that looks sharp, loads fast, and guides every visitor toward the next step, whether that's filling out a form, making a purchase, or picking up the phone.

Our Process
The roadmap behind every site we build.
From the first conversation to launch day, our process is built to keep things moving, keep you in the loop, and keep surprises to a minimum. Five phases, no guessing — just clear steps and honest communication every step of the way.
1. Discovery & Strategy
We start by listening. We dig into your business, your audience, and your goals, the real ones, not the ones that live in a generic intake form. Everything we build from here is shaped by what we learn in this phase.
2. Planning & Architecture
Before any design work starts, we map out the site structure, page flow, and content strategy. This is where the blueprint comes together. Every decision ties to the goals we set in phase one, so the foundation is right before we start building on top of it.
3. Design & Development
This is where it all comes together. The design gets built, the content gets placed, and the site starts to feel real. You'll see progress at every milestone instead of a single big reveal at the end, so nothing about the final site is a surprise.
4. Testing & Launch
We test everything across browsers, devices, and screen sizes, then test it again. Once you give the green light, we handle the full launch so go-live is smooth, quiet, and stress-free on your end.
5. Support & Growth
Launch is the start, not the finish. We stay on as your ongoing web partner, handling updates, security, analytics, and whatever changes your business needs down the road. We're a call or email away, always.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
In their words.
Over the last decade, we’ve built and supported sites for dozens of businesses across Richmond and beyond. Here’s what a few of them have to say about working with us.
We got FISHWINKed!
FISHWINK is so good at what they do that we’ve coined a new phrase for working with them: We got FISHWINKed! That means they delivered above and beyond our expectations, which they do every time. We’ve worked with FISHWINK on several different projects and have never been disappointed. Jessica and Marshall are a great team and they produce great work. I highly recommend them for all your web design needs! Get FISHWINKed!
Dr. Bob ConnollyVecktr GroupWe highly recommend FISHWINK to anyone seeking a fresh, modern look.
FISHWINK exceeded our expectations with their creativity and meticulous attention to detail for our website redesign and logo. They invested time in understanding our vision and communicated consistently throughout the process, ensuring we were updated and our needs were met. Their ability to stay current with trends ensured our rebrand was not only stylish but also highly impactful. The team’s responsiveness and follow-up were exceptional, making the experience smooth and enjoyable. We highly recommend FISHWINK to anyone seeking a fresh, modern look.
Robin BucknerMorris SteelI am very pleased with their knowledge, creativity and the end result.
FISHWINK did a great job, and I am very pleased with their knowledge, creativity and the end result. Marshall and Jessica were expedient in making our new website active and online. I have had a number of people comment about how much they like our new website.
John WatkinsWatkins AwningsFISHWINK has been a life-saver for me in starting my online business.
FISHWINK has been a life-saver for me in starting my online business. Jessica and Marshall helped me design my logo and set up (and maintain) my website. They are good at collaborating and communicating and have been very patient with all of my questions and my lack of being super tech-savvy. I have worked closely with them setting up my scheduling platform and posting my weekly blog. They are very timely and provide helpful feedback and support. I think they work almost as hard for my business as I do! I really appreciate my partnership with them in keeping my website working the way I need it to for my coaching business. I recommend them without hesitation!
Jera Nelson CunninghamSecure PathwaysJessica and Marshall are incredible to work with!
Jessica and Marshall are incredible to work with! They helped refine my vision while designing my website, making the process seamless and enjoyable. Whenever I struggled with ideas, they were always ready to brainstorm and offer creative solutions. Their responsiveness is unmatched—whenever I have a question or need an update, they’re quick to assist. Most importantly, they break things down in a way that makes sense, even for those of us who aren’t tech-savvy. I can’t recommend them enough!
Erin UpchurchEffective Schooling & BeyondThey operate with integrity, honesty, and sincerity.
My recommendation for FISHWINK, for web design and maintenance, is unwavering. FISHWINK offers quality services anchored in knowledge, creativity, and perspective of targeted audiences. Jessica and Marshall, the wife-husband team that own and operate FISHWINK, are a rare find as they operate with integrity, honesty, and sincerity. They partner with you to create a website to represent your profession/business and your professional needs, including offering the time to understand goals and business needs, collaborating with marketing professionals in the industry, and offering advice that is in the interest of your company. Their communication, responsiveness, and timeliness are stellar.
FISHWINK designed my logo, and built and maintains a website for my long-standing specialized speech-language pathology practice. The site was designed to engage those interested and seeking information, for an already busy and successful practice that evolved by professional and personal referral.
Separately, my friend and colleague, Amie Davies, and I launched a new practice for Executive Function Coaching. FishWink was integral in developing our site for our new start-up, with goals including informing professionals and prospective clients, offering support-based information to the community, and acting as a portal for referrals and initial client engagement. Their ability to build a site with targeted needs, within our start-up budget, was outstanding. They have been integral in our growth and continue to work with us, as we expand.FISHWINK should be at the top of the list for new start-ups looking for web design and maintenance, as well as established businesses and practices looking to build / refresh their website.
Maria P. DelCorsoRVA Pediatric Therapy and New AgendaJessica and Marshall are an amazing team!
Jessica and Marshall are an amazing team! They designed our school website after listening and learning our goals and desires spending countless hours making changes and helping us create a very user-friendly site. Their continued support throughout the process has been excellent. They are very timely in their response when there is a glitch. They have also helped us through some IT issues and given us great resources when they have not been able to help us with a problem. We highly recommend them and greatly appreciate their ability to personalize their work!

Chris FrickChris Frick PhotographyJessica and Marshall were amazing to work with.
After years of putting off getting a new website, I finally felt it was time and couldn’t be more proud of the outcome! Jessica and Marshall were amazing to work with. Detail oriented, creative, and hardworking are just the tip of the iceburg with this team! Thank you for all your help! Our website has never looked so good!!
Laura HancockFord & Thomas Insurance Agency5 Stars!
Absolutely wonderful! FISHWINK took the time to talk through and narrow down all of my ideas for the site. Even going as far as consulting on the graphic design of my logo and artwork. Kept everything in scope and were such pros when it came to the final result! To say they went over and above to help make my website a reality would be an understatement. 5 Stars!
Perri YoungDJ MASS FXI wholeheartedly recommend them
I interviewed multiple firms along the east coast before selecting Fishwink to develop my website, I Need A Book Cover, and I’m extremely satisfied with my decision. Jessica and Marshall provided attention to detail, were extremely responsive, and always efficient. I found their fee incredibly fair considering the extensive amount of work they put into my website. Fishwink are experts in WordPress, SEO, and best practices on the web. If I presented them with a challenge that initially stumped them, they would return with the perfect solution within days. The positive feedback I’ve received for my website is a testament to Fishwink’s expertise. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of a professional website.
Zoe NorvellOwner, I Need a Book CoverI would choose Fishwink again and again
I contacted Jessica and Marshall at Fishwink after reaching out to several local companies to help me build a website. Im so glad I did, my experience was fantastic. The finished product was above and beyond what I was looking for and the professionalism that both Jessica and Marshall exhibited throughout the process was superb. They were patient with me and wanted to make sure that above all else I received exactly what I wanted, and that’s what I got. I would choose Fishwink again and again for any website design/development needs. 5 stars, but thats only because I cant give 6.
Anthony Lineberry&anthony Real EstateWe highly recommend FISHWINK
Jessica and Marshall were invaluable in the launch of our business. We came the them overwhelmed and with zero web design experience. They made the process so smooth and talked us through every step along the way. They took our vision and made it so much better. When we need changes made to the site, they are always very responsive. Our clients always comment on how informative and easy to navigate our website is, and that was our goal. We highly recommend Fishwink!

About Fishwink
A husband-and-wife studio in Richmond.
That's us — Marshall and Jessica. We've spent the last decade designing and developing websites for businesses across Richmond and beyond, building a studio around the kind of work we believe in: custom, thoughtful, and built to perform well past launch day.
There's no agency layer between you and the people doing the work. You email us, you get us. Ask a question about your site, and the person answering is the one who built it.
Most of our clients have been with us for years. They stay because we care about their outcomes, write the code ourselves, and keep showing up long after launch day.
