(341) 248-8450 Direct
While I have had some very noteworthy clients, I’m one contractor working remotely from the SF Bay Area in California. I quote every project, work on every website and campaign myself, and I’ll be your contact throughout production. Since 2020, I haven’t had any staff, but I never outsource.

Welcome and thank you for contacting The Microtechs. This is the work of Chris J Gilroy, Designer, Developer, Marketing Professional and founder. I started this business from my garage, moonlighting after I had put my children to bed many years ago when they were small. By 2010, it had grown to be a succesful design firm.
The Microtechs was founded on a simple idea: We specialize in custom websites that anyone can manage, without hired help. We’ve produced websites for over 600 clients to-date, including a President of The United States, Pixar Animation Studios, The Oakland A’s Major League Baseball Club, Turnitin, and LeapFrog.
Send an RFP/RFQ

Get a free propoal with a complete custom solution meticulously constructed and planned for your organization. Every end-to-end solution includes variables and alternative options so if the best system for your needs is just outside of your range, we can separate features as future second phase items to boost your savings. It’s also a great way to see what features can be added in the next quarter or year and how each will benefit your ROI.

Send an RFP (request for proposal/quote) with your message and we’ll get to work right away. We commit to respond within one business day, and often exceed that. PDF or Doc files are fine, as well as links and shared files.

Please include all functionality and features. Most of the rate revolves around functions rather than pages. 5 pages or 20 pages are essentially equal investment to us, but a form that goes to your company email(s) and a form that goes to email, saves in the database, send lead info to your CRM and your MailChimp/Email Marketing service all at the same time is quite a bit more work for us. We’re really good at that, though!

Match your Quote
Since 2020 and the COVID pandemic, the web development and design industry has been volatile and chaotic. Each and every client has to be given the most focus, most priority and be regarded as essential. Send us any proposal or estimate you have from any other agency or contract professional and we’ll not only match or beat it – we’ll guarantee the value, quality and lifespan of our work will far exceed the competitor in many ways.
Location and Sourcing Promise
We’re based in the San Francisco Bay Area on Pacific Time. Have you wondered why we’re a .org instead of a .com? Since we started, we’ve always functioned as a co-op when teams are needed. By default, each and every project is personally attended by Chris Gilroy, founder/owner and Chief Consultant. When the scale of a website or app requires additonal professionals, trusted contract workers work in tandem and simultaneously alongside. Since they’re not employees, they’re paid up to $250/hr. This ensures we have the best of the best; that they are highly motivated to prioritize our work; that they are loyal, enthusiastic teammates that stay with us for years. We never outsource or sub-contract internationally.

Your Website is Incredibly Important

It’s the face of your business to the outside world. If people think your website is “cheap” or unprofessional, they choose somewhere else. Why shouldn’t they? If you don’t beleive your company is worth investing in, how can anyone expect curious visitors to?
