From Dorm Room to Developer on Call
It started in a dorm room at the University of North Texas. A laptop, a side hustle, and a passion for helping small businesses punch above their weight online.
Founder Drate Berry didn’t set out to build an agency. He set out to make the web easier to navigate—for entrepreneurs, nonprofits, and now, startup marketing teams who just need things to work.
From managing $10M+ enterprise sites to launching lean platforms for nonprofits, Drate brings the rare mix of technical depth, business empathy, and get-it-done energy that defines Starter WP today.
