Art Trezise
We couldn’t be happier after working with Josh on our redesigned website at RandInc. His insights and creative touches were spot on.
Having done this during the Covid-19 panic, we were originally concerned about the time it would take and the communication. In reality, it was like Josh was in our office on a daily basis and he clearly exceeded our expectations with all the deliverables. We’re excited to have him as a resource as we continue to grow.
Trip & Darren
Our website was established by Josh, he has done a fantastic job in providing us with his services! He’s there whenever we need him, fast and reliable!
Jenni Everal
We challenged Josh with creating a completely custom website to compliment our print publication. With multiple admin options, an e-commerce page, credit card processing, and image and video upload management, our needs are always changing. Josh is always quick to respond to our needs, his expertise has help guide us in our decisions, and we are very pleased with the product.
Brian Riepe
Josh has been able to manage input from multiple people in our organization, and to coordinate their various needs into one well-designed, up-to-date website.
Forest Hills Swim Club
Josh Eberly has provided excellent design service and timely updating for our web site www.mersc.org which is easy to navigate and very popular with member companies and their employees. We also appreciate his design service with logo redesign and online newsletter design. Best of all, Josh is quick to respond!
MERSC
Our company launched a completely revamped website for our real estate business. We are delighted at the way it turned out. Our experience with Run Sleep Design was even better than our expectations. We met with the owner, Josh Eberly, to discuss the project and were immediately impressed with his communication and design skills. He listened, offered suggestions, and spent time making sure the site appropriately positioned our business.
Josh & Audrie Townsend
Josh has always been very responsive and reliable regarding all of our website modifications and upgrades. He has created multiple sites for our numerous publications spanning the last 15+ years. Josh is easy to talk to and has great ideas. I would highly recommend working with him.
Chris Hanna
Josh at Run Sleep Design was able to build our website that has a pretty complicated registration process and make things amazingly intuitive for our customers. Josh is responsive to all of my feedback and is always striving to create the most efficient, straightforward workflow possible. I highly recommend Run Sleep Design for your next web project as you will share this same experience.
Amy Nolan
I cannot say enough good things about Josh. I assign a task in the morning and produces and presents a quick draft in the same day if not hours. He makes rapid edits and we go live within a day. Other projects take a little bit longer. 2-3 days! You don’t find that very often.
I threw an idea of a recipe book for my website on a Friday-during the Covid crisis. By Monday we were finalizing the project.
I value Josh tremendously. He is a very important person to me and my business. I would be hard pressed to ever find someone who does what he does for me. We have an incredible partnership, especially because he knows my style and has worked with me to create my brand.
Michael Busse
We cannot recommend the team at Run, Sleep, Design enough! Josh worked with us every step of the way to create our slick Gunnison Trails and Original Growler websites, and always responds immediately whenever we need help editing the content. Our websites are as beautiful as they are functional.
Tim Kugler
Josh is extremely professional and proficient. I always dreaded new websites but he completed it fast and made it easy.

Questions before
you Start?
We've got Answers.
Do you build custom WordPress websites?
Absolutely. WordPress is our platform of choice because it offers unmatched flexibility, performance, and long-term scalability. Every website we build is custom designed and developed around your business—not forced into a generic template. Whether you need a brochure site, membership platform, custom functionality, or e-commerce store, we build websites that are fast, secure, and easy to manage.
Can you redesign my existing website?
Yes. Many of our clients come to us with an outdated website that’s slow, difficult to manage, or no longer reflects their business. We can modernize your existing website, improve user experience, strengthen SEO, and preserve the content that still works—all while creating a stronger foundation for future growth.
Can you help if another developer built my website?
Definitely. You don’t have to start from scratch. We frequently take over existing WordPress websites, whether they’re custom built, page-builder based, or inherited from another agency. We’ll evaluate your current site and recommend whether it’s best to improve what you have or rebuild it for better long-term performance.
How involved will I be during the project?
As much or as little as you’d like. We’ll guide the process, keep you informed, and ask for feedback at key milestones without overwhelming your schedule.
Do you provide SEO services?
Yes. SEO isn’t something we add after your website is finished—it’s built into every project from the beginning. From technical SEO and Core Web Vitals to structured content, metadata, and site architecture, we help create websites that are built to rank. We also offer ongoing SEO strategies for businesses looking to improve long-term organic visibility.
What types of businesses do you work with?
We’ve partnered with nonprofits, healthcare organizations, manufacturers, outdoor brands, tourism businesses, restaurants, professional services, educational institutions, and growing local businesses. Every project is tailored to the specific goals of the organization rather than following a one-size-fits-all process.
Will I be able to update my website myself?
Yes. Every website we build is designed to be easy to manage. We provide intuitive editing tools and can offer training after launch so you feel comfortable updating text, images, blog posts, and other content without relying on a developer for everyday changes.
Do you work with businesses outside Colorado?
Absolutely. While we’re proudly based in Gunnison, Colorado, and work with many businesses throughout Crested Butte and the Gunnison Valley, we serve clients across the United States. Most projects are completed remotely through video meetings, email, and collaborative planning. While we work with clients nationwide, we’re always happy to grab a coffee or meet in person with our local Gunnison Valley clients. Strong relationships are still best built face-to-face.
Do you build e-commerce websites?
Yes. We build custom Shopify, WooCommerce and WordPress e-commerce websites that are fast, secure, and designed to convert visitors into customers. Whether you’re selling a handful of products or managing a large online catalog, we can create an online store tailored to your business.
What makes Run Sleep Design different?
We don’t measure success by the number of websites we launch—we measure it by the relationships we build. Many of our clients have trusted us for years because they know they’ll receive honest advice, responsive support, and a website that continues to evolve as their business grows. When you work with Run Sleep Design, you’re gaining a long-term partner, not just another web agency.
What happens after my website launches?
Launching your website is just the beginning. We continue to support our clients with hosting, maintenance, security updates, performance improvements, SEO, content updates, and future enhancements. We believe great websites evolve alongside great businesses.
