About Oddie Studio

A little odd. A lot further.

One developer, one curly-tailed dog and a simple idea: the small businesses on your street deserve to be found, on a website they own.

The reason we're called Oddie Studio.

Oddie and I have been a team for almost four years. He's the kind of companion who brings light into your life and makes you want to be a little better every day.

Left to himself, he'd steal socks from the dryer all day. But the look on his face when he runs free in an open field is priceless, so outdoor adventures are now part of our routine.

Why "Oddie"? When we met, he had a funny little egg-shaped bump on his head. A little odd. Perfect. He isn't just my dog, he's a part of me, and a little bit of him goes into every website we make.

Why we do this

Small businesses make a neighborhood beat.

The corner café, the hairdresser who always gets exactly what you want, the little shop that knows your name. They're what make a neighborhood beat like a heart, and leaving them behind is bad for everyone.

I've started businesses on my own, so I know how hard it is to get seen. Social media helps, but your visibility still lives in someone else's hands. What happens if Instagram closes your account one day?

You work for years to build your name and get your business seen. The address people use to find you should never belong to someone else. With us, your domain is in your name from day one. Always.

Who's behind it

Hi, I'm Ivy.

I've worked as a software developer and SDET (the person who makes sure software actually works), and I've led development teams. That taught me how online businesses work, and where they get stuck. Now I use it for the businesses I care about most: the ones on your street.
