BUILT BY SPEARS TECH SOLUTIONS
Digital products. Built with purpose.
Websites, templates, tools, and resources crafted to help you create, build, and grow.
WHAT WE BUILD
Good foundations. Useful possibilities.
Four areas of exploration, connected by a simple goal: make useful things, and build them well.
FEATURED BUILD
STS Starter
A free WordPress theme foundation.
STS Starter is the lightweight, native WordPress foundation used to begin Built by STS projects. BuiltBySTS.com itself was derived from it as an independent theme.
A reusable starting point for purposeful design, accessible structure, and room to grow. Each project can develop its own identity while keeping a sound foundation.
