A web design studio in the Willamette Valley
Web design & development
in Salem, Oregon
Century Seven builds custom, easy-to-manage websites for businesses across the Valley — outdoor service companies, contractors, private equity firms, nonprofits, tech startups, and everyone in between. We create websites that reflect the quality of your work and help customers see the value your business brings.
Why Century Seven
We're a small studio — not a big agency, and not a marketplace of freelancers. One team, start to finish, that designs, builds, and stands behind the project after launch.
Whether it’s a new website, a redesign, an online store, or an app, every project starts the same way: understanding your business and your customers before anything gets designed or built.
Built to be kept up
Every site is handed over with documentation your team can actually use, so you're never locked into us to make a simple edit.
Responsive by default
Every project is designed and tested across phone, tablet, and desktop before it ever reaches a client's inbox.
Local, and reachable
Salem-based, and easy to get on the phone with — no ticket queues, no account managers standing between you and the work.
Capabilities

Build
Built with the right tools for the project, tested across devices, and reviewed before launch — with a clear plan for future updates.
-
04
Support
Launch day is the start, not the finish. We stay reachable for updates, questions, and the occasional emergency.

The studio
A small studio in
the Willamette Valley
Century Seven is based in Salem, Oregon — close enough to drive to most of our clients, and small enough that the person who designs your site is the same person who answers the phone.
We've built sites for outdoor service companies, event organizers, real estate and finance firms, nonprofits, and everything in between — always with the same approach: understand the business first, then build the site around it.
