When not working on websites, we’ve become advocates for our community, serving with advisory committees, review boards, merchant groups and more to make Eugene better, every single day. Thank you for supporting us, and in turn, supporting this wonderful community.

Meet the Team
Ethan Clevenger
Owner, Principal Developer
Ethan has been building websites since 2012, and in that time, he’s seen it all. With a penchant for doing things right, he’s who you want in your corner.
Ethan has published plugins on the WordPress plugin repository, contributed to WordPress core, spoken at multiple regional WordCamp conferences and was an organizer for WordCamp US in Portland in 2024. So you might say contributing to open source is important to him. “No sense in me debugging something and not contributing my fix back for everyone’s benefit.”
When not working on Sterner Stuff, he’s walking the dog with his wife, Lillie, and fixing up their house. And shooting well over par out on the golf course.
