- What we believe
We were created to create.
We partner with people who take their craft as seriously as their cause.
- What we build
We build digital legitimacy for people doing serious work.
Donors give. Customers call. Readers subscribe. The mission moves.
- How we work
Clarity precedes design.
Before we wireframe anything, we name who the site is for and what they need to do.
It began with service.
We never pitched our way into mission work. We served Missio Nexus well, and that trust opened the next door.
Where the craft comes from
Working with Michael Jr. taught our founder, Jason Rutel, how a message lands in a room. That instinct shapes every site we build. More at jasonrutel.com.
On the name The drifter The original
Nomads have been misunderstood.
Shepherds. Moving with intent through known terrain, leading the flock to good pasture.
That is what we do in the digital world.
What we are not
We are not for everyone.
- Not the cheapest. If price is the only criterion, a template shop will serve you better.
- Not the fastest. We take longer in discovery than most agencies, on purpose.
- Not the loudest. We grow by serving well and letting the work talk.
Who you’ll actually work with.

What people ask before they work with us.
-
How big is the team?
Twenty-plus people across design, copy, engineering, SEO, motion, video, and project management. A senior leads and reviews every engagement.
-
Where are you located?
Headquartered in Northwest Arkansas since 2025, founded in Dallas-Fort Worth in 2013. The team is remote and global, and holds US business hours.
-
Are you a faith-based agency?
We are faith-rooted and mission-led, and we serve clients across the spectrum. We don’t require clients to share our convictions, only respect for the people the work serves.
-
What kinds of clients do you say no to?
Work that exploits, deceives, or extracts: gambling, adult, predatory finance. We have walked away from work to keep that line clean.
-
How is Creative Nomads different from a typical agency?
We name the primary audience before we wireframe anything. We publish our pricing. We document the route so your team can run it after we leave.
-
