44 Degrees North, LLC

Operating out of South Burlington, Vermont, this one-person studio is run by Dan Kirk, who builds websites for Vermont-based restaurants, food and drink businesses, hospitality operators, nonprofits, local businesses, and eCommerce clients. The practice is closely tied to the Vermont community, with work ranging from small nonprofits to larger regional organizations, and a stated preference for restaurants, farms, small business, and nonprofit projects. The team size is small, consistent with a solo or near-solo freelance operation. The core service is website design and development built exclusively on the Squarespace platform, covering everything from simple mobile-responsive sites, such as league schedules, to more involved builds like restaurant sites with online ordering for menus or nonprofit websites intended to drive donations and engagement. Design work emphasizes inclusive, ADA-compliant practices, with training applied to usability and accessibility during both the design and build phases. Alongside web design, the listed services include search engine optimization and graphic design. Client engagements include a year of post-launch support provided at no additional cost after a site goes live. Prospective clients can schedule a free 30-minute meeting to discuss a project, and the site also features a photography portfolio alongside its web design work.
