About Us

Vert Studios is a web and graphic design company located in beautiful Tyler, Texas.

We take the time to learn the latest technologies as they appear - staying a step ahead of our competition, and allowing you to do the same.

Our Company

Born out of a love for quality web design and superior functionality, Vert Studios was founded by Justin Edwards in 2009. Identifying the need for a higher design standard in East Texas, Justin opened shop - bringing years of web development experience for a multi-billion dollar energy corporation with him. But he didn't stop there. Good design becomes great when paired with top-notch web programming, and co-founder Joseph McCullough tailors his development skills based on the business goals you're looking to achieve.

Template websites are becoming a thing of the past, and Vert Studios is here to help you create a custom website you can call your own. Give us a call today, and let us know how we can help you make that all-important first impression.

Our Crew

Justin Edwards

Justin Edwards - Lead Designer

Have an idea in mind, but don't quite know how to execute it? Justin goes above and beyond with an eye for great multimedia design. Bringing visual concepts to life with a graphic design degree and 7 years of industry experience, Justin not only has natural talent, but can back it up with trained techniques.

A native East Texan, Justin has worked with a variety of companies as a contractor and in-house designer/developer - everything from a multi-billion dollar international energy corporation to the Tyler Morning Telegraph.

A published artist, Justin's favorite things to do include spending time with his son Xander, cooking, biking, taking photographs and eating at Stanley's BBQ. Make sure you try the Brother-In-Law sandwich.

Our Philosophy

We pride ourselves on delivering results you can be proud of. Here are a few key words we stand by:

Quality

We love cookies, but hate the cutter.

The word "template" doesn't exist in our vocabulary. We know what it means to stand out from the crowd. In today's world, differentiation is not only good business practice, it's downright necessary.

When you come to Vert Studios, you receive quality, custom design - a website you can call your own. So go ahead, let your competition have that cookie cutter template while you turn up the heat with new business. They'll just be left with crumbs.

Communication

We're here for you. Anytime.

You won't ever get that nerve-grating "robot-speak" when you give us a call. Instead, you'll be pleasantly surprised to find real people on the other end of that receiver - because while technology is a lovely thing, talking to it is not.

Go ahead, test it out.
Give us a call today 903-920-9514.

Relationships

Face-time used to actually mean something.

Did you know some competing web design companies don't even have actual designers in office, and instead choose to outsource their work?

That's not an issue here, as you'll be doing business with either one of us - Justin or Joseph - two native East Texans who truly understand where you're coming from.
