WebDev & Design Team brainstorming

About WebDev & Design
Helping local businesses since 2022.

Founded by the designer, developer, and photographer Johan Sebastian in September 2022, WebDev & Design is proud to contribute to the story of many local businesses in the Salt Lake Valley.

Stage 0:
Professional Growth

Before starting WebDev & Design, and after obtaining a computer science degree, Johan spent 7 years working in the international trading industry.

In parallel, he was freelancing as an IT technician, building small experimental websites for entrepreneurs, and creating designs and posters.

Utah and e-commerce
A new beginning, a different culture and audience.

When he moved to Utah, Johan took additional classes at college to reinforce his technical knowledge and creative potential.

His first job in Utah as an e-commerce manager gave him tools he didn’t expect, a different perspective and mentality.

Taking the leap
Experience with corporate America.

After 3 years of experiencing sales, negotiating contracts, and providing data for third-party systems, Johan decided to take the risk, quit, and start shaping his own project.

The goal was to create a business that combines his passion and hobbies; that way, WebDev & Design was born in 2022.

Growing beyond websites
WebDev & Design running steadily.

Although WDD served many small and mid-sized businesses, the social component was missing. Johan decided to start collaborating with non-profit cultural organizations and local musicians.

Other services started to take on more relevance; photography, videography, and social media management were a natural addition.

Why was WebDev & Design created?

Johan wanted to provide entrepreneurs and small business owners with what he dreamed of: a sustainable way to live off their talent, a real retirement they can rely on.

This dream evolved into developing platforms to capture clients while being different, shining as a brand with recognition and public trust through media like websites, social media, and brand image.

Who are our potential clients?

  • Housewives, employees, and others who dream about building a business with a professional presence on the Internet.
  • Small-sized companies that are looking for growth and expansion: leads, audience, a better brand image.
  • Mid-size companies that want to automate processes, improve what they have to get more clients, have more control over their brand assets, or even improve costs.

Our philosophy: applied tech with a human approach

OUR VALUES & IDENTITY

We live and work in Utah. We know the local market and take pride in helping businesses in our own community grow.

We believe in long-term partnerships. Our websites are built for scalability and lasting value. We’re careful with the message when creating content or brands.

Since very early on, we have collaborated with nonprofit organizations on digital magazines, flyers, event organization, photography, and social media.

We serve the valley and beyond in English and Spanish. We work with and support the LGBTQ community. Every entrepreneur, regardless of their beliefs or ideology, deserves to grow their brand.

By sharing with our business partners, informing them about changes in industries and technologies. Making connections, referrals, and collaborations with other local businesses.

Why work with WebDev & Design

Brand identity materials spread across a desk with logo concepts, packaging, color palette, and digital mockups.

Our services complement each other; you don’t need to search for another provider. We have built brands from scratch: structure, technology, and design.

If we don’t believe in a project, we will let you know what would be a better option. We won’t take projects just for the money.

We limit how many projects we take every month. We don’t work with “24-hour website ready” projects; we dedicate time to avoid generic results.

The exploration stage is the most important for us. We like to connect directly with business owners, see what they want, why they want it, their struggles, and their competitive strength. That’s how our projects are born.

We work in English and Spanish, so your brand connects with both communities in Utah, not just one.
