Build Websites That Actually Grow Businesses.
Join a small, senior team that helps local service businesses rank higher and convert more customers. We value craft, autonomy, and real results over meetings and metrics theater.
Why Work at Verlua?
We are not your typical agency. There are no endless meetings, no layers of account managers, and no projects where your work disappears into a black hole.
At Verlua, you work directly with clients (local dentists, lawyers, contractors, medical practices) and see the direct impact of your work on their business growth. When a client tells us their phone is ringing off the hook because of the website you built, you will know.
We are founder-led, which means decisions happen fast, good ideas get implemented, and bureaucracy is not in our vocabulary.
Our Culture
These are the principles that guide how we work together. If these resonate with you, you will probably enjoy working here.
Results Over Hours
We measure success by outcomes, not time in seat. Deliver great work, and how you structure your day is up to you.
Direct Communication
No corporate politics or layers of bureaucracy. Everyone has a voice, and the best ideas win regardless of who suggests them.
Client Success Obsession
Our clients are local business owners who depend on us. Their success is our success, and we take that responsibility seriously.
Continuous Learning
Technology evolves fast. We invest in our team's growth with learning budgets, conference attendance, and time for experimentation.
Ownership Mentality
Every team member owns their work from start to finish. We trust you to make decisions and learn from both wins and mistakes.
Craft & Quality
We take pride in our work. Every line of code, every design decision, every strategy recommendation reflects our commitment to excellence.
Benefits & Perks
We believe in taking care of our team so they can do their best work.
Remote-First
Work from anywhere. Our team is distributed, and we've built our processes around asynchronous collaboration.
Flexible Hours
Set your own schedule. Early bird or night owl, work when you're most productive.
Competitive Pay
Market-rate compensation based on your skills and experience, not your location.
Equipment Budget
$2,000 to set up your home office with the tools you need to do your best work.
Learning Budget
$1,500 annual budget for courses, books, conferences, and certifications.
Coworking Stipend
Monthly stipend for coworking space if you prefer to work outside your home.
