Independent studio · Fort Collins, Colorado

Your website and your social, handled.

Trident Social hand-codes websites that local businesses own outright, then films, writes and posts the social that sends people to them. Fixed-price packages from $2,500. Monthly social from $1,500. The studio also builds the software it runs on.

For developers: Quorum, a local-first AI roundtable for your codebase — free open core, Pro $79.

The Studio

One person and a lot of software. Beau Williams started the studio while finishing at Colorado State, already running Williams Media's client work and building iAmBeauWilliams in public. Not a team of twenty: software runs the busywork, Williams Media handles client work, and the taste stays human. Five rules the rest of this site already shows:

  1. You own what gets built.Sites ship as plain code in a repository handed over at launch. No page-builder subscription, no lock-in.
  2. The price on the page is the price.Fixed packages, agreed in writing before any work starts.
  3. Every status is honest.Live means live. Beta, early access and portfolio pieces are labelled as exactly that.
  4. Software runs the busywork; a person keeps the taste.Scheduling, publishing and matching run themselves. What is good stays a human call.
  5. Local-first where it counts.Quorum runs on your own machine against your own Claude account, and the free tools run entirely in your browser.

Get in touch

Tell me what you're working on. If the studio isn't the right fit, you'll hear that plainly instead of getting a proposal.

Rather talk it through?

15 minutes on Google Meet is usually enough to tell whether a package fits, or whether you need one at all.
