About

I'm Jay Powell. I build websites for breweries.

I've designed for the web since 2001, building platforms for financial institutions and travel and tourism agencies.

Today I'm co-owner and Brand Director at Ten Bends Beer in Hyde Park, Vermont. That's where I learned what a brewery website really has to do: keep the hours right, keep the beer finder current, and give a distributor rep something worth forwarding to a buyer.

Brewition is where those two halves meet. I work directly with independent breweries on websites, email, and the materials that sell beer when nobody from your team is in the room.

How I work

Directly. You talk to the person doing the work, from the first call to launch day and after.
