About A + L Development

We create custom websites and applications that are as thoughtfully designed as they are technically robust. Our goal is to give you a complete user experience — from visual design and UX to reliable, maintainable code — so your digital presence actually moves your business forward.

Who We Are

A + L Development is a design-led development studio based in the Philadelphia area. We partner with agencies, marketing teams and growing businesses that need more than off-the-shelf templates — they need solutions tailored to their brand, workflows and long-term goals.

How We’re Different

  • Design + development under one roof – We respect great design and know how to implement it in code without compromise.
  • Maintainable code – We write custom code instead of forcing your needs into generic themes or plugins.
  • Long-term partners – We don’t just launch and leave; we support, maintain, and evolve what we build.
  • Focus on real outcomes – Every engagement is anchored to clear business objectives, not just a new look.

Led By A Designer Who Codes

A + L Development is led by founder Andrew Long, a trained graphic designer who took the road less traveled in 2008 and pursued his interest in digital architecture and programming. That dual background shapes everything we do.

On every project, you benefit from Andrew’s understanding of branding and visual communication combined with deep experience in custom web development, content management systems, and interactive applications.

Who We Work Best With

  • Agencies that need a reliable development partner to bring complex designs to life.
  • Marketing teams that want a site they can manage confidently without fighting the tech.
  • Organizations ready to modernize legacy sites or build custom tools unique to their business.

What It’s Like To Work With Us

Our process is simple and collaborative. We start by understanding your goals, audiences, and constraints. From there, we recommend the right technologies, build in a staging environment you can review, and iterate together until everything feels right. After launch, we stay available for support, improvements, and ongoing optimization.
