Founded in 1997 by Dave Gibson, Propeller is one of the old-guards of the Burlington web scene. As we did then, we still build custom sites – just not using Dreamweaver anymore… or Flash either (damn you Steve Jobs!).

Our heyday was during 2006-2010 days when we were about 17 people in a killer space on Flynn Ave. It was an incredible period but the recession dropped the floor under us. Hard lessons were learned – such as to keep fixed overhead low. And since then, we’ve maintained a much smaller core team of rockstars, relying on external talent for overflow when needed, plus we’re all remote now.

Our biggest shift has been over the past 10 years in response to increasing need for digital accessibility and ADA compliance. We established a sister brand, Accessibility.Works, boasting a team of industry leaders who conduct Web Content Accessibility Guidelines audits primarily. This has also informed our web development practices. We see WCAG compliance as the pinnacle of great usability and have been leveraging our accessibility chops to broaden our website client base as well.
