Little-Brothers-R-US

We've been building websites for over twenty five years. After building a few, Joel enrolled and spent seven years studying the visual language, drawing, painting, and art-history, at Trinity Western University and Emily Carr University with some of the best professors in Canada. Along the way he picked up coding languages such as HTML, PHP, CSS, and Javascript. He founded the company in 2012 and picked up years of experience building high-grade custom WordPress and Drupal websites. In 2020, Joel's father Mark Anderson joined the company as a project manager. On most work days, Mark is collaborating on visual design work, brainstorming website strategy, and meeting with larger client-teams when needed. He speaks English and Arabic and brings to the team two masters degrees, a proficiency in creative writing, and a wealth of multi-cultural experience.

Little Brother fun facts

Little Brother naturally has had a fair share of "little brother" experiences. Here are some semi-random facts and happenings from our business practice through the years: the wild, the playful, the fun, the surprises, the "little brother" moments.

Wildest audio

One of our wildest audio experiences came when we provided audio services to a group of female sex-workers making audio tracks for a website. The women doing vocals had left the sex-trade and were telling their stories. We worked with them to plan, write, record and edit their tracks. It was an honor to serve them and the non-profit providing them shelter.

The gift of play

In 2020 we built a party-game app. On New Year's Eve 2021 we played it with a group of fifteen relatives over the internet and laughed until the tears were running down our faces. It was a creative writing game.

Most laughter

I was once working for a church congregation, helping them with visuals. Every month they had a welcome dinner. The pastor had me create a visual for the big screen to advertise the dinner each month. Inspired, I decided to photoshop my pastor's face onto an image of a gourmet chef holding a steaming dish. The bodily proportions were highly amusing.

The pastor was on the fence about it, but he ran with it. When it displayed on Sunday the congregation erupted in laughter and laughed for three minutes straight till the pastor calmed them down. Mission accomplished. People loved it.

A shortcut to mushrooms

In 2025 we discovered wild mushrooms growing near us. We took photos. A couple weeks later we got a contract to build a website for a folk singer-songwriter and it worked out that the mushroom photos completed the needed material for the site. If you spot good mushrooms growing locally, please send us an official Mushroom Report ™ and we'll aim at a photoshoot.

LOTR

If you're a graphic designer, you're always faced with the question, Would it be kosher to put images of Gandalf and the hobbits and dwarves into my client's graphic? Strange as it may seem, I crossed that thin red line more than once. There remains a graphic poster or two for clients in my archives complete with Tolkien's brood.

What's up Africa?

Some of our clients are Africans locally and in Africa. They've been working with us for years and teaching us their languages. After years of working with one African client, we collaborated and wrote a song in his native language. Working with Africans around the world is a great honor.
