Who We Are.
At Tempest, we are unapologetically human. We encourage questioning, we refuse to color inside the lines, and our interactions are genuine. We’re not corporate, and we don’t want to be!

Look Like a Fun Group to Work With?
Lucky you, we’re hiring! We’re looking to grow our Montana-based team. If you’d like to learn more, brush up your resume and check out our available positions on our jobs page.
Tempest is not your average agency.
We come from diverse backgrounds (agriculture, marketing, restaurant management, finance, and computer science) that provide us with unique perspectives. We apply our varied backgrounds and blended skills to ensure that your digital presence is memorable, because we believe first impressions matter.
After all, collaboration is our superpower. We thrive on bouncing ideas back and forth, celebrating our collective wins, and creating something bigger than ourselves.
We started this digital journey in 1999 and are proud to have remained at the leading edge over the years.
We were among the first website development companies in Montana to establish an independent and secure hosting environment, and among the first to offer high-definition video production to our clients. We did this while elevating the level of service and expertise that our clients have come to expect.
Think of us as your guides: helping you navigate the ever-changing digital landscape with humor, heart, and a questionable amount of caffeine.
We Speak Human.
Sure, we toss around terms like “responsive design” and “search engine optimization,” but don’t worry – we’re fluent in plain English as well. The digital world, like a Shakespearean comedy, can easily leave you feeling overwhelmed. But don’t fret! Our team will bridge the gap between your business goals and technical expertise, delivering tangible results every step of the way.
From the start, we prioritize learning your vision, goals, and creative direction, all while asking questions to better understand what makes you, and your business, tick. Together, we’ll craft a digital strategy that not only showcases who you are, but produces results to be proud of.
A Crew of Curious Minds.
We’re a crew of spirited storytellers, clever coders, and marketing masterminds who bring the expertise (and the snacks) to the table. We believe that our engaged and collaborative team has the skills to tackle your digital needs. That means embracing our inner quirks and letting collaboration take the reins.
You might catch us questioning whether pineapple belongs on pizza, pondering the merits of feather quills over keyboards (did you catch the Shakespeare reference), or debating the galactic nuances between Star Wars and Star Trek … but through the light-hearted banter, one thing is for sure: we’re passionate about creating websites that are as unique and captivating as you!
Where did the name Tempest Technologies come from?
Our name isn’t as random as you might think; it’s a nod to the Bard himself – William Shakespeare. Truth be told, our founders, Shawn and Lisa, are Shakespearean enthusiasts and they found inspiration for the business name in none other than his final play, “The Tempest.”
Navigating the Digital Storm.
When Tempest launched in 1999, the tech world was a wild sea. “The Tempest,” with its central image of a powerful storm, felt fitting for a company aiming to disrupt the status quo. Even today, 25+ years later, we embrace the challenges of navigating the ever-changing digital landscape – it’s our own Shakespearean storm to weather.
The Power of Storytelling.
At Tempest, we believe words have power. As Prospero, often considered a reflection of Shakespeare himself, conjured worlds with words, we craft compelling narratives that spark ideas, forge connections, and shape the world around us. We do this through content development and eye-catching visuals.
So, There You Have It!
Our logo is more than just a squiggle and our name is a constant reminder of the power of language, storytelling, and, yes, a little bit of digital disruption. Now, let’s embark on this adventure together.
