About us
About
We are a small team of designers, developers and strategists in San Francisco, working with startups and growing brands.
Our story
We started Deneb to make agency work simpler
Deneb began in 2016 with two people and one idea. Clients should talk to the people doing the work, see progress every week and know the price before they sign. Ten years later we are twelve people, and that is still how we work.
- Fixed scope and price before we start
- One senior contact from first call to launch
- Weekly demos, so there are no surprises
- Handover with training and clear documentation

How we work
Four steps from idea to launch
The same simple process on every project, so you always know what happens next.
-
Discover
We start with a workshop and a short interview with your team. We study your goals, your customers and your current site, then agree on the scope in writing.
-
Design
We build the layouts and test them with real people before development begins. You see real content early, so every decision is made with the final words and images in view.
-
Build
We develop the site or app in short steps, with a working preview at the end of each one. You can check progress at any time, and we test on real devices before launch.
-
Grow
After launch we track results, fix what does not work and plan the next steps. Each month you receive a short report with what changed and what we recommend next.

The people behind your project
You will talk to these people, not an account manager.

Kind words
What clients say about us
“Deneb rebuilt our store in eight weeks. The team explained every choice, and our staff can now update prices without calling anyone. Online orders grew faster than we planned.”
“We were nervous about changing our site because patients rely on it. Deneb tested every step with real people first. Bookings went up, and the front desk finally has time to breathe.”
“Our old logo worked on a poster but not on a phone. Deneb gave us a system that works everywhere, from the shop sign to the app icon. Our team now uses the guide every single day.”
