Righteous Sites

We create badass, impactful websites that help our clients connect with their community and advance the good they do in the world.

Not exactly the Dalai Lama? No worries. We interpret “doing good in the world” many ways, from non-profits focused on solving food desert issues to social sports leagues helping folks make friends. We just want to make the world a better place!

Check out some of our recent projects. 😀

Carbon Free Skills

Lightning Fruit is an end-to-end digital powerhouse. We build websites, yes, but our focus is on the entire journey – from discovery to launch—and beyond. We create a strategy around your website that gets results, whether that’s building your community or driving conversions. And we make you look damn good while we’re at it.

Website and Web Apps

This is where we started and it’s the core of what we do, and we do it well. We work with WordPress, Vue, and Shopify (to name a few) to build fully custom websites that rock!

  • Websites, microsites, web apps… what else you got?
  • Super easy to use interface for your team
  • Ongoing support & lasting friendship

Design With a Purpose

Everyone at Lightning Fruit is a creative, and we put the power of our entire team behind our work. We design sites that are not just beautiful but smart and useful. We start with discovery to dig deep into the why and who, then we geek out on data and design.

  • Website planning & design
  • UX-driven discovery
  • Style & site documentation + fashion advice!

Digital Strategy

We connect all the dots: what’s happening now, what you’re getting out of it, and how to improve. We look beyond the website to include email, social media, customer management, and everything that connects to your digital machine.

  • Assessment of tools & connections
  • Recommendations for site improvements
  • Ongoing strategy (with optional star charts)

Incredible Team

Lightning Fruit is a wild digital ship sailing from the port of Washington, DC. Our crew of scallywags comes in all flavors, has universal nerd streaks two miles wide, and several ship’s dogs. We do our best not to be too serious about things (except keeping the internet pesticide-free, of course). We play video games in the office, discuss astrology signs over lunch, and have been known to hunt the fiercest of tacos.

All of us believe in using our business to make the world a better place. Much of our work is with non-profits, progressives, political groups and social enterprises, trying to make this planet better for all of us. Past clients have included DC Central Kitchen, the ACLU, Transparency International, Union Kitchen, and DC Fray. We figure the least we can do is make their websites look dope.

We want to grow good in the world through creative websites.

Wait, but how much is this going to cost me?

(Tap to find out)

Builds start at $10,000 and depending on complexity go up from there. Our hourly rates for retainers or smaller builds/fixes is $150/hour, and $135 for non-profits. If you’re a non-profit and your budget is a bit tight, we’re here to help you out! As long as you have a cause we can get behind, we can figure something out (NRA need not apply).
