Our Story

Creo started with a layoff. After years as a software engineer, Colten was cut loose from Starbucks and went to work for himself, building websites and handling IT for local businesses. It went well enough to need a name.

Creo is Latin for I create. The bison is Montana, plain and simple, and we visit the Bison Range every chance we get. Not a sponsor. We just love the place.

We believe in adding real value to a business: working hard, communicating clearly, and running things well. We build things we would be glad to inherit.

How we work

Draft, refine, launch. You react to a real website from the start, and nothing goes live until you have signed off.

  1. 01

    Draft

    You send inspirations and colors. We turn them into a real site you can open on your phone.

  2. 02

    Refine

    Sticky notes on the draft, a call, or a plain email. Every change lands on a preview first.

  3. 03

    Launch

    A walkthrough together, your sign-off, then the release goes out on your schedule.

From the founder

Colten Krauter

Ex-Amazon, ex-Starbucks

I spent years as an engineer at Amazon and Starbucks. The bar there is high, and I brought it home to Montana.

I build clean designs that convey the heart of your business. I automate the busywork, and I set you up to manage your own content, so an update never waits on anyone.

I have other developers I trust for when a project needs to scale. I hold the bar.

I am a family man, and a strong work ethic is in my blood.

“Colten is an excellent web developer with a keen eye for detail and functionality. I appreciate his technical ability but even more, his quick communication, integrity and consistency in all his projects. If you’re looking for an excellent website backed by amazing service then I highly recommend Creo Design for all your website projects.”
“We own a small automotive repair shop and Colton set up our website. Let me say, he did an amazing job. Our Internet traffic has at least doubled and he was very attentive to our preferences and had a lot of new trendy ideas. I would highly recommend Colton for any website work a small business might need.”
