About — Fort Collins, Colorado

Small Studio.
Big Sunflowers.

A one-person software studio at the foot of the Rockies that spends time obsessing over designs and dreams.

The story

Why "Sunflower"?

The sunflower is the first thing that turns toward the light. It's also the state flower of Kansas — but we're in Colorado, so let's focus on the turning.

We started Sunflower Software because we were tired of websites that look like every other website: template-stamped, bloated, and built to impress other developers instead of convert real customers. So we build the opposite — sharp, fast, custom-built sites with a point of view.

And because we're software people with a soft spot for the command line, we're also making Terminal Empire — a total-war inspired strategy game that lives entirely in your terminal. It's the game we always wanted to play, and nobody else was going to build it.

We're in Fort Collins, Colorado: near the mountains, surrounded by good beer, and reachable by email.

What we believe

Four rules we don't break.

Small enough to care, stubborn enough to do it right.

01

Craft over shortcuts

No page builders, no template debt. Every site is designed and built custom, for your business alone.

02

Speed is a feature

A fast site ranks higher, converts better, and respects your visitors. We obsess over every kilobyte.

03

Honest billing

Clear quotes, no mystery line items, no retainers that outlive their value. You'll always know what you're paying for.

04

Local roots

Fort Collins is home. We work with businesses from Old Town to Timnath — and beyond, if you've got a good story.

Two tracks, one studio

Client work funds the games.

WEB

Websites that pay for themselves

Business sites, landing pages, and e-commerce for companies that measure their website in leads, not compliments. See the work →

GAME

Terminal Empire

Our first title — total war, rendered in text. Built for people who still believe the command line is the most honest interface ever invented. Enter the terminal →
