Josiah Cole grew up in Farmington. We work regularly in Aroostook County and beyond. When you hire COLEwebdev, you're not working with a distant agency — you're working with a studio with genuine Maine roots and 20 years of experience.
COLEwebdev founder Josiah Cole grew up in Farmington — western Maine, Franklin County, along the Sandy River. He knows what it means to run a small business in a small Maine town, where word-of-mouth still matters and your website is often the first impression you make on someone who found you through Google.
COLEwebdev spends considerable time in northern Maine, working with businesses in and around Houlton and Aroostook County — The County, with its own rhythms, agriculture, and customer base unlike anywhere else in New England. That firsthand knowledge shapes how we approach Maine projects.
We've been building websites since 2006 — remote work isn't a workaround for us, it's how we've always operated. Our Cape Cod and Maine clients get the same level of care and the same quality of work.

Duck Puddle Campground is a COLEwebdev client based in Maine. A campground that needed a website capable of earning the trust of families and outdoor enthusiasts who haven't been there before — communicating amenities clearly, handling online inquiries, and making a strong first impression at the moment it matters most.
Maine's outdoor recreation industry runs on reputation and visibility. A well-built website — fast-loading, mobile-first, and clearly organized — is the difference between filling your season early and scrambling for bookings. We build sites that do the former.

Yes — COLEwebdev founder Josiah Cole grew up in Farmington, Maine, and the studio works regularly with Maine businesses, particularly in Aroostook County and the Houlton area. We understand Maine's seasonal economy, its rural market dynamics, and the trust that comes from working with someone who knows the state firsthand. Remote collaboration is how we've always operated — our Cape Cod and Maine clients get the same quality of work regardless of geography.
We've built sites for campgrounds, hospitality businesses, outdoor recreation companies, nonprofits, contractors, and small retailers across Maine. Duck Puddle Campground is one of our Maine clients. If you need a website that brings in customers and holds up under peak-season traffic — from a studio that has been doing this since 2006 — that's exactly what we build.
