The Ah So Designs team of Ninja Squirrels,
welcome to WordPress web development redefined

Since 2008, Ah So Designs has gained years of experience with web design and web development on the WordPress platform, working with a wide range of clients — small and large, national and global, in a breadth of industries, including education, entertainment, industrial, financial, start ups, and professional athletes

Notable clients include My Emma, Dave Ramsey, Reba McEntire, Wiseacre Brewing, BloodWater Mission, and Goo Goo Clusters.

John Housholder founded Ah So in 2008 after winning several awards at Dell Inc and being hired as a interactive media professor at the Art Institute of Tennessee. John hired Joel Norris, a former student and a purple heart veteran of the Iraq War a year later and together they began to develop websites and applications on WordPress. Their mission is to create products and services that are easy to use, affordable, and of the highest development standards. Although Ah So has grown past its humble beginnings as a two man shop, Ah So continues to strive to watch it’s code empower their customers to achieve their goals. Code is Poetry.
