Website development for New England businesses.
BCKPCKR builds websites and web applications for small and medium-sized businesses across Boston, Cambridge, Providence, Portsmouth, Portland, and the rest of New England. We write modern, maintainable code — not WordPress themes glued together with plugins — and we care about performance, accessibility, and the long-term cost of owning the site.
What we build
- Marketing sites that rank well and load fast on real-world connections
- Custom web applications — dashboards, portals, booking systems, internal tools
- E-commerce sites with Stripe, subscriptions, and custom fulfillment logic
- Rescues and rewrites of legacy PHP, ColdFusion, or outdated Rails apps
- CMS-backed content sites for teams that need to publish without a developer
- Ongoing maintenance, upgrades, and security patching
Our web stack
For web applications we build with Ruby on Rails, Hotwire (Turbo + Stimulus), and Postgres — the same stack powering companies like GitHub, Shopify, and 37signals. For content and marketing sites we reach for Astro and Tailwind CSS, which is what this very site is built on. Both stacks are fast, durable, and easy to hand off.
Who we work with
We partner with founders, marketing leads, and operations teams across Greater Boston — Back Bay, the Seaport District, Fenway, Charlestown, Somerville, Newton, Jamaica Plain — and throughout Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. We work on fixed-scope projects, monthly retainers, and fractional CTO engagements.
