Develare is a digital marketing agency focused on the needs of small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and nonprofits.
Core Tenets
- We Focus on Efficiency: By focusing on time, value and efficiency we are often on the leading edge of implementing tools and technologies that deliver enterprise quality work for small business clients.
- We Leverage: If we can find a theme, plugin, or service for your problem, we’ll leverage that. We don’t want to reinvent the wheel and make you pay for it.
- We Immerse: We’re officers, we're regular attendees and we're sponsors of local digital marketing, WordPress, and Quality Assurance communities. By immersing ourselves and networking with passionate professionals, we keep on top of digital trends years before they are mainstream.
- We Recommend: Maybe you need someone that is outside of our area of expertise. In that case, we’re happy to recommend. We network with some of the best and can help you bring experts on to the team.
- We Reject: Big agency bloat. Big agency braggadociousness, and most importantly, big agency "blah". You could almost call us an un-agency...

Our Partner
Since 1999, Christina has been designing and building exceptional websites. With many years of experience in creating thousands of websites, she understands the need for continuing education in her field and, therefore, is constantly learning and teaching others about internet marketing and digital processes. Prior to establishing GlobalSpex, Christina worked for the Defense Department and, later, in the financial industry as an analyst and then in IT.
With each new customer and each new project, Christina has learned so much from stepping into various roles as a developer, designer, IT, marketing analyst, coach, and more. Each role has helped her hone her digital marketing and graphic design skills so that she can help entrepreneurs who have a voice but need assistance in getting their message out to their target audience in the right way.
In addition to her ability as a webmaster, Christina serves as a coach and mentor to digital marketing freelancers, helping them grow their businesses. She is also a sponsor and co-leader of Houston's WordPress Meetup.
