No web project truly starts from scratch. Software and applications are based on tried and true libraries and frameworks designed to morph to fit your needs. Some of these are great at what they do, and some are not, much like the folks using them. Sterner Stuff is top-notch at developing the tools you need, and my experience helps me pick the right building blocks for every job.
Of course, this page is only really for the curious. You shouldn’t have to worry about implementation details. Set up a meeting and we can make a professional recommendation on how to solve your business problems and reach your goals.
Marketing Website Design with WordPress
No sense in not starting with the most dependable content management solution (CMS) on the web. WordPress currently powers about 40% of websites. Its massive community means plugins get a lot of eyes on them to make sure they’re up to snuff.
It’s also a great eCommerce platform if you aren’t looking to do anything too fancy. WooCommerce gives WordPress support for selling your business’s goods online, keeping track of orders, saving shopping carts and a variety of other things.

CRMs, Inventory, and Other Business Software Development with Laravel
Here at Sterner Stuff, our bread and butter is development. Programming. Technical solutions. Custom software.
Laravel is a basic software framework that helps us solve common, everyday software needs so that we can focus on the business logic unique to your needs. We use it to create custom software that helps your company grow and become more efficient. These projects are often great replacements for hard-to-use Excel sheets or home-grown Microsoft Access databases. We build applications that do things like:
- Bridge together different systems so they can talk to each other
- Automate tedious everyday work
- Provide a way for your customers to provide tailored feedback or file specific reports
It’s perfect for creating tailor-made software for your business. Like WordPress, Laravel has a massive community, which means lots of ready-to-go extensions for the most common requirements.
