Founder
Who is Chris Parsons?
Chris Parsons is a web developer in Sisters, Oregon, and the founder of Steelbridge. He has built websites for about 20 years and run web servers for about 10, and he founded ParsonsHosting.
Steelbridge is the development studio: custom websites, web applications, performance work, rescue of sites that already exist, and the technical side of search. ParsonsHosting is the hosting company. The two are related by the founder. They are not the same product. A basic hosted website is a website builder conversation.
The useful bias in the work is to improve a site that already has history, links, and a shape visitors recognize, when that site can carry the next version of the business. A rebuild is the right recommendation when it cannot. Either way the point of the project is leads, sales, or the job the software was hired to do. A good-looking page that does not do that job is not finished.
What the work has been built with
WordPress is the usual base, including themes, plugins, and WooCommerce. Projects have also used Drupal, Joomla, ClassicPress, and Gatsby when a static front end was the right delivery. The list is experience, not a claim that every tool is the right one.
Clients that can be named include Cal Fly Guy and The Fly Shop, along with the projects in the work archive: Greater Yellowstone Angler, McCausland Construction, Josephine Moore, Tanner Rice Online, Pacific Rim Pathology, and ParsonsHosting.
