About
Design, code, and marketing from one partner
For more than 20 years I’ve helped businesses tell their stories through design. I studied filmmaking at the New York Film Academy and spent seven years as Lead Designer for The Manhattan Short, the world’s largest short film festival.
Today I bring branding, WordPress development, SEO, digital marketing, and AI tools together, so one person can plan, build, and grow your online presence.
I take on client projects and I’m open to contract and full-time roles.
What clients say
“Our experience working with Chris was exceptional! He possesses the most impossibly rare and magical skillset: An unfalteringly “nuts and bolts” engineering brain in the same person as a brand-sensitive marketer with an on-point design aesthetic.”
“We highly recommend Cayden Media. Our aging site was large, lagging, outdated, and unable to get traction, despite a large monthly investment in advertising. Chris designed a streamlined, cutting edge, GORGEOUS replacement site that beautifully represents our business and branding. Moreover, he built our site hard-wired and coded specifically for maximum SEO visibility!”
“Chris Cayden has been invaluable to me. I am an author and a blogger, and they have not only re-designed my websites in keeping with the integrity of my work, but walked me through a foreign land of technology which now feels comfortable. Chris has increased my readership with the subtleties of networking that were daunting (at first) and have now become second nature.”
