We Are State Creative

A web design and development agency in Oakland, CA

that builds websites on WordPress and Drupal.

About Us

State Creative is an award winning web design and development agency established in 2000. We started as a design studio creating logos, branding and marketing materials, but by 2005 we were designing more websites than logos. In 2010, Founder Aron Scarinzi partnered with Garrett Goldman to grow the agency into a full-service design and development studio. We relocated from the Fruitvale neighborhood to downtown Oakland, California and assembled a broader team of designers, developers, strategists and UI/UX experts to build web experiences that deliver measurable results. Today, State Creative is a full service digital agency that builds custom websites on WordPress, Drupal and Laravel.

Testimonials

I didn’t think it was possible to have such a positive experience with a web development project. They did a very high-quality job and followed through on all their promises.

Litman Gregory - AdivorIntelligence Financial Research Publishing

They were extremely engaged all the way through from learning about the business and understanding what we were trying to accomplish, our target market, to helping us develop the site. I’m not an expert in social media or website development and they were able to accommodate, listen to, and respond to what I anticipated we needed.

Our old site was very cumbersome, to say the least, and being able to have a partner that understood our goals, and was able to execute in a timely manner, was extremely important. Our website redesign project was a huge undertaking, and we could not have asked for a better partner to work with.
