Call us biased, but it makes us smile to see things like this on a web development firm’s website:

Most web development/design firms offer a wide range of services. From video production, social media designs, to SEO. tinyElk Studios, however, focuses on one area and that is WordPress. We know, we love, and we develop for WordPress.

And that’s exactly what you find over at tinyElk studios. These folks know WordPress, and do it well. Founded by Adam Sewell (a speaker around here), they “specialize in clean, elegant design coupled with an intuitive interface and powerful functionality.”

They are based out of Lexington NC, which if you ask me has the best BBQ in the known universe. (note author’s born-and-raised bias)

We are so grateful for Avalara, not just because they are a generous sponsor of WordCamp Raleigh, which includes tasty developer fuel coffee but because they do something that few businesses want to do, and even fewer know how to do.

If you’ve ever dealt with sales tax (or any tax) compliance, you know that it’s a full-time gig.

Unless you get help from Avalara.

They are the world leaders in sales tax and use tax compliance software. They, um, do it for you. Their stuff integrates with TONs of ecommerce solutions, and saves you hours upon hours of your life.
