about us
From Solo Developer to Development Team
cbCodeStudio began in 2014 as Chris Beaver Web Development, when founder Chris Beaver started taking on freelance projects while building expertise in modern web technologies. What started as a one-person operation has evolved into a collaborative remote team of specialized developers who share a commitment to quality code and client success.
Our Evolution
For over 12 years, we’ve been solving real business problems through software. We’ve built customer portals that handle thousands of users, created custom WordPress solutions for content-heavy sites, developed mobile apps with offline capabilities, and integrated complex systems that streamline business operations.
The transition from chrisbeaver.com to cbCodeStudio represents our growth from freelancer to professional development studio. We’ve kept what worked—direct communication, technical excellence, and genuine care about outcomes—while adding the depth and versatility of a team approach.
How We Work
Distributed Team, Unified Vision
We operate as a remote-first development team. Our developers bring specialized expertise in backend systems, frontend interfaces, mobile development, and DevOps. This means your project benefits from diverse skill sets while maintaining consistent communication through experienced leadership.
Test-Driven, Well-Architected
We don’t just write code that works today. We write code that’s maintainable tomorrow. Our development approach includes comprehensive testing, clear documentation, and architectural patterns like domain-driven design that keep codebases healthy as they grow.
Product Builders, Not Just Service Providers
We’re not just building for clients—we’re building our own products too. This keeps us sharp on modern development practices, user experience design, and what it actually takes to ship and maintain software. When you work with us, you benefit from that product mindset.
Our Philosophy
Honest Communication
We tell you what we think, not just what you want to hear. If there’s a simpler solution, we’ll recommend it. If something is going to take longer than expected, you’ll know why.
Quality Over Shortcuts
Technical debt is real, and shortcuts have a cost. We build things the right way, with testing and architecture that supports long-term success.
Continuous Learning
Technology evolves fast. We stay current with frameworks, best practices, and emerging patterns. We’re as comfortable diving into legacy PHP as we are architecting with modern TypeScript and React.
Beyond Client Work
We’re actively developing our own suite of MicroSaaS products focused on solving niche business problems. This work informs our client projects and keeps us connected to the full product lifecycle—from idea validation to deployment to ongoing maintenance.
Based in Pennsylvania, Serving Everywhere
While we’re rooted in Central Pennsylvania, we work with clients across the United States. We understand both small-town business needs and the technical requirements of larger enterprises.
