Ogden's software design and development team
Talk to us about your project
Ogden since 2012
This is where we started
HQ was founded in Ogden in 2012 by Matt and Zarin, two Weber State graduates who started building software from a card table on a back porch. We never left. Our office is at 2411 Kiesel Ave, our team lives here, and our best client relationships have been built with companies that know Ogden the way we do.
Ogden has a manufacturing backbone and a tech scene that keeps growing. It also has a few companies headquartered here that quietly lead their category worldwide, which most people never realize. We've built software for some of them.

Questions about HQ in Ogden
Yes, at 2411 Kiesel Ave, Suite 501. Matt and Zarin started HQ in Ogden in 2012 and we've never moved. Our team lives here and the office is open, so if you'd rather size up a software team in person before signing anything, come by. Two of the companies we've worked with longest are a short drive away: Autoliv, whose North American headquarters is here in Ogden, and Messenger Stationery, an Ogden-area company in business more than 113 years that runs its daily ordering on software we build and maintain.
Since 2012. Matt and Zarin started the company here after Weber State, working off a card table on a back porch, and 14 years later we're a 25-person team still headquartered in Ogden. No second office, no move somewhere cheaper. In that time we've built software for Weber County businesses, for global manufacturers like Autoliv, and for healthcare networks across Utah. The relationships that started here are the ones that lasted: we've been the embedded design and development team on Messenger's ordering platform for years now, at more than 500 hours a month. Ogden's tech scene grew up around us, and we've been part of it the whole way.
Three you'd recognize. Autoliv keeps its North American headquarters in Ogden and is the global leader in automotive passive safety: $10.4 billion in annual revenue, roughly 70,000 employees across 25 countries, and technology that saves an estimated 37,000 lives a year. We built the internal mobile and web tools their people use on the plant floor. Messenger Stationery has been in business more than 113 years and holds a 99.8% on-time shipping rate. We're the embedded team on My Designer Lab, the software funeral directors around the country use every day to order memorial products, at more than 500 hours a month. And Revere Health, one of Utah's leading physician-owned multi-specialty networks, where we rebuilt the whole web presence: 400+ providers, 100+ clinic locations, 1.17M patient visits a year. Add dozens of smaller Weber County businesses over 14 years. None of these were one-and-done projects. That's the pattern in Ogden: we get embedded, and we stay.
Yes. We work with companies across Weber County, Davis County, and the rest of the northern Utah corridor: North Ogden, Roy, Layton, Clearfield. Most of what we do doesn't depend much on geography, so we can work with your team wherever they sit. If you want to meet face to face, our Ogden office is a short drive from anywhere in northern Utah. Honestly, being local matters less for the day-to-day work than people expect. It matters for the first few conversations, when you're deciding whether to hand a budget to a team you just met. Whether you're a manufacturer in Roy, a healthcare group in Layton, or a startup here in Ogden, we're close by and already working with companies like yours.
Fourteen years in one place. We're a 25-person team headquartered in Ogden since 2012, which means the relationships here are real ones: clients, local talent, and the Utah tech and manufacturing community. The track record is specific enough that you can go check it. More than 500 hours a month on Messenger's ordering platform, for years. Internal tools that Autoliv runs across 25 countries. A full web rebuild for Revere Health. We'll also tell you when we're the wrong fit for a project and point you toward someone better, which is a question worth asking of any Ogden software company you're talking to.
We're in Ogden. Let's build something.
Our office is at 2411 Kiesel Ave in Ogden. We've been building software here since 2012, for local companies and clients across Utah and the Mountain West.
