Frequently Asked Questions

Why the name Bread and Roses?

Our name is inspired by the 1912 Lawrence Textile Strike, also known as the Bread and Roses strike, which happened in Lawrence, Massachusetts. The strike by women textile workers lasted for two months and was successful. The women wanted more pay for necessities like bread, but also for the nice things in life like roses.

When it comes to web design and development, we understand that people have pragmatic needs and goals which have to be met by a website, but we think that the website should be attractive too.

Why shouldn't I just pay $50 for some online website template or pay some college student?

Anybody with access to a computer and a few programs can give you a cheap design for your website, but if you want your website to generate significant results for your business or organization, you need to work with professionals who understand that a website is more than simple eye candy. We provide affordable web design and development. We also bring years of experience as small business owners, marketers, innovators and more to your project.

Why should we choose you over some other company?

Our projects get results. We have the skills, experience, and resources to do your project right. We've been around the block a few times, so we know what works and what doesn't work. If you are local to us, we can meet face-to-face with you.

Can I keep my current hosting situation?

We can work with your existing set-up if that is your preference. If you need hosting, we can host a website for you or recommend a reliable third party host.
