DuckByte was founded by two web professionals who have worked in the trenches of web design, copywriting, coding, and graphic design for many years, hand-holding entrepreneurs of local and international scope as we developed and upgraded their web presences. As writers, we draw from a background in linguistics, academia, literature, poetry, comedy, improv, brand names, informative/persuasive copy, and UX design. Like an iceberg floating by, the 10% of what you see on this website is supported by years of experience, a broad vision of where web marketing has been, continual alertness to emerging web trends (did we mention AI?), a user and customer-centric philosophy, plus humor, one-to-one engagement, active listening, and a personal commitment to expansion in physical health, emotional intelligence, and consciousness.

At your service
The Marriage of Soft and Strong
Potential employers these days want to see resumes that list both soft and hard skills. They don’t want to just know if you have html/css skills or what project management programs you used at your last place of employment, they want to try to peek into what kind of person you are. Are you on-time, are you dependable, are you a good team player? Do you play nice? They want to know a bit about what is under the surface, and they have no choice but to use keywords and database searches to do this. Quite an impersonal way to find the right person.
Wouldn’t it be nice if AI could just write your resume for you (it can) and just go find that job for you with those searches while you brush up on your golf or couch-lounging skills? Read full post >
From DuckByte Clients
Partnering with Alesia and Paul at DuckByte is always a blend of professionalism, creative collaboration… and fun.
Paul & Alesia surpassed my expectations. They went beyond the call of duty on every detail – writing, layout, creativity in addition to what I provided them with, and more. They came in on time (unheard of?), and the site is practical, beautiful, and already moving up in the rankings. I am really grateful for their service. I am also happy that I will never have to spend my time vetting a web design team again, now that I found a keeper.
DuckByte and its people were recommended to us by a trusted source, and we have been delighted to find them not only highly skillful in web design but also deeply engaged in learning about and helping market our product. We are in an early stage of our product’s life cycle while we await a patent, and we plan to partner with DuckByte in our national launch when the time is right.
From Past Clients
“Alesia has been a tremendous support in our work together at Coach U. Her expertise has been crucial in the initial transition and day-to-day activities of our online business. When I have a question or need support, her responses are always quick, professional, and very helpful. It is an absolute pleasure working with Alesia!”
Paul Stokstad stepped in when we were floundering around… He knows all the details of web design and worked with us to make a website that was light years beyond what we were capable of.
You’ll certainly be hard-pressed to find a multi-talented digital marketing professional with the high level of experience that Paul brings to the table.
With Alesia’s expertise, I feel really supported in any new approaches I might want to take in marketing. I am very impressed with help she provides with my website management needs that I don’t have the knowledge or the capability to do.
