History
Where we started
Like a flower regrowing in the spring, Pinwheel Web Development has grown through the years as many different ventures. We began as a small hosting company called Go Atlanta Hosting in 2018 then transitioned to a marketing company called Red Shirt Digital in 2021.
In late 2022 we sold Red Shirt Digital and Go Atlanta Hosting and in 2023 we formed the company we have today. Additionally in 2023 we changed our company focus to be towards protecting the planet, providing excellent service and doing so without any compromises.
Mission
Our Company Mission Statement
The digital world is often plagued by its impact to the environment. We set out to change this and move towards a greener future by offering green hosting, considering the planet in our designs and services, and are committed to what we can do in our daily lives.

Development Pets
The ones who actually run things
We all know that our pets are actually the ones who train us, not the other way around. Below are some of the pets that members of our staff have and some of their favorite activities.
Cruella
Director of Chaos
Cruella is one of the sweetest cats that Ash has ever had, however she is also the most chaotic and energetic cat that they have ever had as well. She is extremely talkitive, she loves to climb, and she loves to sit outside on the catio and watch the birds. She is truely the ruler of the Davenport household.
Rilee
Chief Happiness Officer (CHO)
Rilee keeps the team smiling as Chief Happiness Officer, specializing in zoomies, snuggles, and treat patrols. When she’s not boosting morale with her wagging tail, she loves running full-speed at the park and sneaking in well-timed naps. Rilee’s mission: spread joy, reduce stress, and remind everyone to take a break for some puppy love.
Roo
Chief Toy Tester
Roo is our expert Chief Toy Tester, dedicated to inspecting every squeaky, stuffy, and chewable toy that crosses her path. With a love for playtime, she’s known for her rigorous (and often destructive) testing methods. When she’s not putting toys through their paces, she’s making sure the peanut butter supply stays under constant surveillance.
Jasper
Chief Sales Officer
Jasper is the newest addition to the Davenport household. He was rescued while Ash was tending to her garden. He loves to sit on Ash’s shoulders and watch over her meetings, help keep her on task, and helps keep a smile on everyone’s face. His job is to keep Pinwheel’s income stable, make sure projects get completed on time and treats get eaten on schedule.
Milo
Food Inspector
Milo has been the Food inspector since his rescue date. Instead of inspecting his surroundings, he waited until someone opened the fridge so he could climb in. He ensures that the team is aware that they have food he has not inspected by meowing loudly.
