Viget was founded in 1999 in Falls Church, Virginia, by Brian Williams. The agency has spent over two decades building custom web applications, digital platforms, and marketing websites for clients ranging from startups to large institutions.
The team handles strategy, design, engineering, and marketing under one roof. Unlike agencies that rely heavily on WordPress or Shopify templates, Viget tends toward custom development — building purpose-built applications in frameworks like Rails, React, and Elixir. Their client list includes the World Wildlife Fund, Pew Research Center, HomeAway, and Dick’s Sporting Goods.
Viget operates from offices in Falls Church (Virginia), Durham (North Carolina), Boulder (Colorado), and Chattanooga (Tennessee). The distributed setup predates the remote work era and has shaped the company’s collaborative processes.
What’s unusual about Viget is their commitment to experimentation. The team regularly ships side projects — games, data visualizations, and open-source tools — through their “Pointless Corp” initiative. These projects serve as both creative outlets and proof of the team’s technical range.
Viget also publishes extensively about their craft, covering everything from accessibility best practices to engineering patterns. The agency has won numerous Webby Awards and has been recognized by Inc. 5000 multiple times.
With roughly 100 employees and 25 years of history, Viget sits in a sweet spot between boutique studio and large agency, handling complex projects while keeping teams tight.
