What We Do

One studio for the whole stack — a modern site, the AI that works it, and the visibility to get found.

🌐

Websites

Fast, modern, mobile-first sites that turn visitors into action — clean design, structured data, built to convert.

🤖

AI Assistants & Automation

AI that answers, books, and follows up 24/7 — and automations that flow into the tools you already use.

🔎

AI Search Visibility

Get recommended when people ask ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI — structured data, citations, and monitoring.

🔗

Custom Builds & Integrations

Internal tools, dashboards, and integrations — connected to your CRM and workflow without breaking it.

Who We Serve

The same craft, three kinds of partner.

Businesses & Brands

Companies that want a site and AI tools that actually bring in and convert customers — built once, done right.

Tribal & Native Organizations

Native-owned businesses, tribal & village enterprises, and Indigenous nonprofits — worked with by someone who's part of the community.

Supplier-Diversity & Procurement

Teams with Native / minority supplier goals looking for a Native-owned technology vendor that ships modern, AI-native work.

Why Dene Designs

🪶

Native-Owned

A Native-owned (Ahtna Athabascan / Iñupiaq) studio. For supplier-diversity programs, that's a partner you can count toward Native/minority goals — and for Native organizations, someone who gets it. MBE & supplier-diversity certification is in progress.

🤖

AI-Native, Not Bolted On

We build the AI — assistants, automation, AI-search visibility — not resell someone else's. It's woven into the site, not stapled to it.

🛠️

You Work With the Maker

No account-manager telephone game. You talk to the person building it — faster decisions, work shipped correctly the first time.

🔌

Fits Your Workflow

It connects to the tools you already run and keeps working in your slow season, not just your busy one.
