About Graticle Design
The same team, for the long run.
Since 2009 we have designed, hosted and managed websites for businesses, firms and organizations, from Longview, Washington. The people who build the site are the people who answer later.
How We Got Here
Graticle Design was founded in 2009 by Shawn Hooghkirk, who had been designing websites and print materials since high school. What started with one client and a lot of hustle grew into a full-time business built on referrals, trust and consistent results.
From the beginning, our focus has been on service. Too many businesses come to us after dealing with web design companies that disappeared mid-project or were hard to work with. We set out to be the opposite: dependable, professional, and invested in our clients’ success.
That is why so many of our clients have stayed with us for years. We have been doing this for 17 years, and we plan to be here for the next 17.
What We Do Today
We build, host and manage websites for our clients, and we grow them with SEO and Google Ads. We also design logos, graphics and print, so everything you put in front of a customer matches. One team handles all of it, so you never have to juggle vendors.

What to Expect Working with Us
Clear, honest communication is at the heart of everything we do.
A real person answers the phone
Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm Pacific. We reply within one business day, and we do not disappear after launch.
We take ownership
A reliable team that owns the work and delivers on time, with your business goals in mind. No shortcuts or chaos, just thoughtful, custom work.
Fast support when you need it
Need a quick update or a fix? Most small tasks are handled within one business day. Larger projects, like new features or redesigns, typically take 1 to 4 weeks. We are quick, but more importantly we do it right.
No contracts. No strings.
No long-term contracts and no pressure to stay. Your website, domain and content stay yours, and if you ever leave we hand everything over.
Hands-On, Start to Finish
Graticle is a small team led by Shawn, who has run it since 2009 and is the person most clients deal with. You will not be passed around. Here is how clients describe it.
We have been working with Shawn over the last two years to periodically update our website content. He is incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and helpful. He makes the entire process easy and stress-free.
