We make web sites.

Hi there. We're a small (but mighty) Chicago-based interactive agency, focused on putting our kick-ass design talent and cutting edge technology to work building beautiful, functional web sites and applications that dazzle our clients and their customers.

Design & Usability

Making it pretty is the easy part. We design simple, sexy user experiences that are as powerful and easy to use as they are beautiful.

Development

From simple static sites to full-throttle web apps powered by Ruby on Rails or our own Friendly PHP framework — simple or complex, we can build it.

Deployment

Start small, scale big. Start big, scale bigger. Whether you're expecting ten visitors a day or a million, we can make sure your site is ready for the big time.

Practical Creative & Code is the web studio of designer/programmer David Demaree. Founded in 2005 in Chicago, U.S.A., Practical has worked or consulted on dozens of projects for a wide variety of clients around the world.
