Maine Web Design + Development

Welcome to Firefly of Maine. A leading software and web design group in northern New England, Firefly serves clients from Portland to Aroostook County and beyond. Since 2004, we have united beautiful design with highly usable, data-driven web applications for clients across the government, education, non-profit, and small businesses sectors.

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.
