About Wellfire Interactive

Wellfire Interactive is an interactive design and web development shop with a focus on creating products for our clients that satisfy their deepest business needs, delivered with unmatched service.

We’re a partnership based in the Washington, DC area, founded by three talented friends with a history of creating awesome and asking the right questions.

We work with our clients to create designs completely custom to their project needs, after learning their domains, their organizations, and their audiences.

We use superior expertise to carefully produce our clients’ projects in-house, from social web sites to complex web applications.

Every project we undertake is managed by our three principals: effective design, benefits over features, and clarity of content. Our clients include boutique consulting firms, fast-moving technology businesses, and non-profits advocating to improve democracy.

We make interactive experiences happen.
