DATABASE LAYER

Encryption at rest · least-privilege access · query monitoring

BACKUP & RECOVERY

Encrypted snapshots · geo-redundant · tested recovery procedures

Cloud Migration

Move to the Cloud While Protecting Business Continuity.

We assess, plan, and execute cloud migrations with minimal disruption — handling data migration, DNS cutover, validation, and post-migration optimization.

How We Build

From Strategy to Launch.

Seven interconnected phases—from discovery and assessment through architecture, deployment, and ongoing optimization—designed to build infrastructure that is reliable, secure, scalable, and aligned with your business requirements.

01

Discover

We start with your business goals and work backwards — understanding what your infrastructure needs to support before designing anything.

Business requirementsCurrent infrastructure Performance baseline Security posture Pain points
discover-ai-automation

02

Assess

A thorough technical audit of your current environment identifies gaps, risks, and opportunities before we commit to an architecture.

03

Architect

We design the complete infrastructure architecture — from cloud topology and networking to security controls and scaling strategies.

Why? Why 5 stars? Our district has struggled for years with a website...we wanted one that helped us in serving landowners. Aside from that-our website was outdated, hard to navigate and UGLY. Shawn is our HERO!! She stepped in and offered her help and support through every step of the process...even attending board meetings last minute to show progress to our board. She has never not answered a call no matter when! Her and her team have done a lot of work in tackling our unique brainstormed concept for how it would look. Our website now is clean, navigable and probably one of the first for a Montana conservation district offering online permitting!!! The new website goes above and beyond anything we ever dreamed possible!!

We recently hire Starfish Web designs to make updates to Our Website for Payless Cleaning Services in Las Vegas, And the experience was incredibly responsive, completed the requested changes quickly and paid close attention to every detail. One of the projects involved enhancing our Company Vehicle image to create a professional fleet-Style presentation and updating our team photos with branded uniforms that matched our Company standards. The final results look amazing and exceeded our expectations. If you are looking for a professional web design company that understands branding website updates, Image, editing and Marketing, I highly recommend Starfire web design. Their communication, creativity and turnaround time were exceptional. We're very happy with the improvements To our Cleaning Company website and look forward to working with them again. Frank/PCS

Can't recommend this place enough. Worth every penny! When my friend and I opened our first company we went with the DIY approach to website building like most people. Eventually we wanted to free up our time and standout so we looked into web developers. Starfire is the 3rd or 4th dev we have hired, and will most definitely be our last. They are now our go-to developer for all our companies. Our locally based dev, Shawn Smith, is extremely kind, understanding and easy to work with. It doesn't feel like a corporate entity. It feels like your talking to an actual human and that is priceless in todays age. Several times now I have been stumped on ideas or just too busy with the companies to give perfect advice and I've asked them to use their best judgement and make something from scratch, even in industries that have no overlap with web design, and each time they quickly shoot me back proofs of amazing artwork and designs. A genuine thankyou to Starfire, especially to Shawn Smith! To anyone reading this, trust me it's worth it. Whatever you end up spending to improve your website, your client and public facing image, is going to come back to you greater. Invest in yourself with Starfire!

Starfire Web Design refreshed my website and helped me show up better on Google. They didn’t just make it look nicer — they improved how it works and how it converts visitors into real leads. It’s only been six months and my organic traffic is already up 50%. I’m getting more calls and more serious inquiries than before. Now they’re also running my Google Ads, and the process has been smooth and transparent. What I appreciate most is that they explain things in plain English and focus on real results, not just buzzwords. If you want a team that actually helps grow your business, I highly recommend Starfire.

Thank you Starfire for taking our marketing to the next level!
