# Webaes

> Webaes LLC is a founder-led digital studio in Denver, Colorado that builds brands that get found and convert — brand identity, websites and e-commerce stores (Shopify, Webflow, WordPress/WooCommerce), and ongoing SEO + AEO (Answer Engine Optimization).

Webaes handles the whole build end to end, in-house: brand & identity (logos, brand systems, packaging and label design); web design & development (WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, fully custom, migrations, performance); e-commerce & wholesale (DTC + B2B storefronts, tiered/wholesale pricing via SparkLayer, subscriptions, marketplace listings, GS1 barcodes); SEO & AEO (local and keyword SEO, Answer Engine Optimization, ongoing content programs); content & visuals (blog/content creation, product imagery, copywriting); and AI & automation (AI-assisted workflows, process and order automation, custom internal tooling).
