A small studio that builds things to last
Founder-led, specialist-backed. Design, engineering, automation and marketing under one roof, for businesses that want a partner rather than a vendor.
The story
Cedrus Labs started in Rancho Cordova, California, with one conviction: small and mid-sized businesses deserve the same quality of design, engineering and automation that large companies buy, without the large-company overhead.
The name comes from the cedar, the tree that gives strength to what is built with it and outlasts the builders. That is the standard: work that holds up after the project ends and stays in the client's hands.
How we work
- Small by design. Every project is led by the founder, with specialists brought in for what the project needs. You always know who is doing the work.
- Boring technology, on purpose. Next.js, React, TypeScript, well-supported AI platforms. Tools that will still be maintained in five years.
- You own everything. Domains, code, hosting, ad and email accounts are created in your name from the first day.
- Show before commit. Visual changes are built as options on a preview link. You choose. Nothing goes live that you have not seen.
- Measure what matters. Load times, leads, revenue and hours saved, reported plainly.
Who we work with
Founders, small businesses, non-profits and community organizations that need a website, an app, an automation, or all three, and want a partner who explains the trade-offs in plain language.
The team
Every project is led by the founder. Photographers, video producers, copywriters and specialist developers join per project, so you get senior attention without agency overhead.
What we promise

Domains, code, hosting, ad and email accounts in your name from day one.
Show before commit
Options on a preview link before anything is built for real. You choose.

Let’s talk
A short call to hear what you are building. No pitch.
