Welcome

Phillip Mauracher • November 13, 2023

Hello from Studio 1585!

My name is Phil Mauracher (pronounced like My Rocker).  I've been in the web design and development industry since the mid-1990s.  Yep.  I'm that old!
My first website was a giant picture of me and my name, all hosted on AOL.  It was probably one of the worst websites ever invented, but then Geocities was invented, so maybe the second worst website.


I want to thank you for visiting.  I decided to create a website design and marketing agency due to what I've seen out there.  There are so many poorly crafted websites with typos, ugly images, content that doesn't fit.  I want to help you change that.  You deserve to have a nearly perfect digital presence.  You deserve to have customers find your business on Google, on LinkedIn, or on Facebook.  It should be simple to make updates.  It should be simple to tell your customers to find your amazing website.


Studio 1585 is about your business success, not just pumping out another website project! Contact us today for a free consultation.

Ghosted, Frustrated, but Unbowed

By Phillip Mauracher • April 19, 2024
In the wild world of sales, getting ghosted is almost a rite of passage. Like a bizarre initiation ritual, it tests your mettle, douses you in frustration, and leaves you bewildered, staring at your phone or email, wondering, "What the hell?" But here’s the twist—every seasoned sales veteran will tell you that the struggle is absolutely worth it.

The Power of Kindness in Business

By Phillip Mauracher • March 23, 2024
Have you ever been on the receiving end of a business relationship or transaction in which you could just tell the other person didn't connect with you or yelled at you or just did not care? You were just there as what felt like an annoyance in their world. We live in a society in which businesses fiercely compete for attention and loyalty - and money. The gentle art of kindness often gets overshadowed by aggressive marketing strategies and cutthroat tactics. Studio 1585 embraces a culture of connection, compassion, and kindness, integrating it into every aspect of every service we provide. We are here to create meaningful connections.

Did Your Web Design Agency Forget to Make Your Site Mobile?

By Phillip Mauracher • March 9, 2024
Have you ever been on your phone and visited a website only to find it was so tiny you couldn't read it, or the site was just unusable on a phone. If you're like me, I can't stand that and I'll just leave the site. Why in the heck would any web design agency let that happen? We've had mobile browsing for almost 20 years now! That is where Studio 1585 comes in. We can help get your website in order and make it mobile friendly, or we can help your designers out too.

In today's increasingly diverse and fractured world, businesses and brands are realizing the importance of creating a welcoming and inclusive online environment.

In order to truly engage with the gay community and attract a diverse range of customers, it's crucial to go beyond the surface and ensure that your digital presence is genuinely friendly for gay folks.

Creating a Website for the Customers You Need

By Phillip Mauracher • January 20, 2024
You took one of the most important first step in getting your business online. Your website is your company's digital calling card. It needs to be good looking and provide the information that your customers are looking for. Are you unsure about the content or the audience, your site might not be appealing to the right types of consumers if you don't get it right. You wouldn't make a carnivore website for vegans, would you?
