Maine Web Design + Development

Welcome to Firefly of Maine. With offices serving Damariscotta, Brunswick, and Presque Isle, we are a leading software and design group in northern New England. Since 2004 we have united beautiful design with highly usable, data-driven web applications for government, foundations, higher education, laboratories, and publishers.

Custom design, without templates

Firefly produces unique designs in-house. Projects include unlimited design iterations before coding begins, so aesthetics are settled with stakeholders first. We then develop HTML5 templates, usable navigation, and responsive layouts that adapt across devices — always with a strict separation of content and presentation for long-term maintainability and SEO.

Programming & data-driven applications

Our senior engineers build custom PHP, Python, SQL, and JavaScript systems — including Firefly’s Apollo content-management framework — tailored to how your organization actually works. We specialize in MySQL and a data-first requirements process that powers interactive dashboards, real-time inventory systems, and warehouse ordering and fulfillment applications.

Hosting, security & support

Sites launch on enterprise-class infrastructure with SSD storage, nginx, geographic redundancy, and nightly offsite backups. Security practices include injection-safe database access, hardened forms, encryption for sensitive fields, and ongoing patching. Training and monthly Service Level Agreements keep systems improving after launch.
