Building Digital Systems That Strengthen Relationships
Hive29 is a digital systems agency built on a simple truth: relationships are the foundation of business. Everything we design is meant to help small teams stay connected to their clients while running more smoothly behind the scenes.
Our Story
Hive29 grew out of years spent helping creative teams and growing businesses simplify how they work — especially during moments of change.
What became clear over time is that small businesses don't need more software or complexity. They need systems that support how they already work, reduce friction, and give them time back to focus on clients, creativity, and growth.
That belief drives everything we do. Hive29 doesn't build technology for its own sake. We help businesses put the right structure in place so their tools feel supportive, not overwhelming.
Our Philosophy
Technology should support relationships, not replace them.
Simple systems beat complicated ones.
Your business has its own rhythm — systems should adapt to it.
How We Work
Hive29 works through a flexible, right-sized model designed for small businesses.
We bring together experienced designers, developers, and technologists — people with real-world agency and small-team experience — and engage them only when their expertise is truly needed. This means you get the right help at the right time, without paying for layers you don't need.
Whether you're launching a website, automating time-consuming admin work, or choosing a client management platform, we focus on practical solutions that fit your business today — and can grow with you tomorrow.
Why "29"?
The "29" in Hive29 reflects the 29-day lunar cycle — natural rhythms that guide how bees work, and how healthy businesses are meant to operate.
Small businesses thrive when their systems match their pace, not someone else's playbook. Hive29 is built around aligning tools and workflows with how your business naturally runs.
The name also honors a foundational belief behind the company: long-term success is built on trust, consistency, and relationships.
Why Hive29?
Systems Over Tools
We don't sell software. We help you choose tools that fit your business and make sure they work well together.
Relationships Over Transactions
We're not here for one-off builds. We aim to become a trusted partner who understands how your business works.
Progress Over Perfection
Getting something useful in place now matters more than waiting for the "perfect" setup later.
Transparency Over Surprises
Clear, straightforward pricing. No hidden fees. No unnecessary upsells.
