Founded in 2005 by Annie Middleton, 9 Planets Web Design has operated in Eugene, Oregon as a small agency focused on website design and digital marketing strategy. Annie's current focus is making accessible website design affordable for small businesses and organizations, a priority reflected in the agency's ongoing commitment to WCAG-compliant, mobile-responsive builds. Paul, who has worked with the agency since its founding year, shares that same commitment to accessible development standards.
Work spans design and development, digital marketing and SEO, website accessibility, tech support and security, and hosting and domains. Sara, a project manager, brings teams together to build out client sites, while Beth handles copywriting duties, crafting content for the pages Paul and the development side produce. Jennifer manages the online presence and performance of clients' Google properties, covering the local and content SEO side of the offering, and a dedicated website security team maintains the protection and integrity of managed hosting accounts.
Services bundle together technical SEO, local SEO, content SEO, and managed WordPress hosting alongside security and WAF protection, giving small businesses and organizations in Eugene and beyond a single point of contact for both the build and its upkeep. The agency's structure — a copywriter, a project manager, a Google-properties lead, and a security team working alongside long-tenured developers like Paul — reflects a practice built around accessibility compliance and ongoing site maintenance rather than one-off launches.
