AVENUE 12 DESIGN · EST. 1995
Web design, development
and creative solutions.
Avenue 12 Design is an independent creative and web development studio with roots going back to 1995.
Long before social media, smartphones and website builders, Avenue 12 was building websites, developing databases and creating identities for businesses and organizations.
Today, the studio continues that work from Costa Rica, combining design, programming and practical digital experience with a deliberately personal approach.
EXPERIENCE
More than three decades of design and development.
Avenue 12 Design began in 1995, growing from an earlier creative operation known as Bohemian Graphics.
The business moved into full-time web and design work at the end of the 1990s and was online as the commercial Web was beginning to take shape.
The original Avenue 12 website is documented in the Internet Archive, with archived versions of the site dating back to 2000.

THE WORK
There is more history here than we could put on a portfolio page.
Over the years Avenue 12 has designed and developed far more websites and digital projects than could reasonably be displayed here.
Some companies no longer exist. Some businesses have changed ownership. Some projects have been redesigned by others. And some clients simply prefer that their relationship with their developer remain private.
Rather than manufacture an impressive-looking portfolio from old work, we prefer to focus on the experience behind it and the work we do today.
