Gaslamp Media

Founded in San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter in 2008, Gaslamp Media is a small web agency (1-10 people) now based in Escondido, California, that builds websites on WordPress, Drupal, and Laravel. Clients include organizations across transit, healthcare, education, real estate, and manufacturing sectors, such as San Diego MTS, GoTriangle, Sharp Rees-Stealy Medical Group, Thomas Jefferson School of Law, and Sanford Burnham Prebys, among others. The agency states it has built over 1,000 websites since founding, keeps all work in-house without subcontractors or offshore teams, and describes many client relationships as long-tenured, with some sites built a decade ago still under its management. Services cover search engine optimization, web design, web development, and e-commerce development. A distinguishing element of its stated method is that the agency designs, develops, markets, manufactures, and ships products for e-commerce brands it owns and operates itself, using this as a testing ground before applying findings to client projects. It describes drawing on this operational experience for decisions such as the revenue impact of checkout changes, the cost of slow page performance, and how platform updates can affect a live business. The agency also references supporting clients through rebrands, policy changes, compliance requirements, and platform upgrades over time.
