Cold Press Labs is a small studio run by Christopher Aitken. We make websites for businesses across North Florida, and build web apps and SaaS products on AWS for companies anywhere.
Restaurants, fishing charters, vacation rentals, shops, and churches. If people need to find you online, we'll build a site around your business, and you'll own all of it.
Serving Apalachicola, Tallahassee, Panama City, Gainesville, Jacksonville, and St. Augustine.

Ingredients: hand-written HTML and CSS. Contains no page builders or plugins. Need more than five pages? We'll quote it.
We've spent a decade building and running SaaS products on AWS. We can build your product from scratch, take over one that stalled, or cut an AWS bill that got out of hand.
Priced per project, after a short call about what you need.
A nonprofit in Apalachicola, Florida
The society promotes the education, conservation, and exploration of native plants. We built its website from the ground up:
Server-rendered on AWS Lambda with Aurora DSQL. Fast on any phone.
nativeflorasociety.org ↗We also build and run our own software. All of it is live on AWS.
Email hosting that runs inside your own AWS account. A drop-in replacement for Amazon WorkMail.
A calm, simple console for the AWS services you actually use. Read-only by default, and every action shows up in your own CloudTrail.
MRR, failed payments and churn across every Stripe account you run, on one screen. Read-only.
Forward lead, order, booking and invoice emails, and each one becomes a row you can sort, total and search.
Mutual and one-way NDAs, signed online in minutes. Both sides get the countersigned PDF.
Upload a PDF, place the signature fields, and send it. Everyone signs from a link, no account needed.
A careers page, a mobile apply form and a simple hiring board for small businesses.
Docs, a board, and a calendar your clients can join by link, no account needed. Encrypted end to end.
A fast, lightweight way to browse GitHub. Minimal JavaScript, pages under 14KB.
A word processor that looks and behaves like it's 1997, except your documents live in the cloud.
A hand-drawn webcomic about AWS, explained for the wandering mind.
A working guide to Amazon's distributed SQL database: what it does, what it refuses to do, and when to use it.
I'm Christopher Aitken, and Cold Press Labs is my studio. I've spent the past decade building and running B2C and B2B SaaS products, most of them deep in AWS.
I live in Apalachicola on the Forgotten Coast, between Panama City and Tallahassee, so if your business is nearby we can meet in person. For bigger projects I bring in a few trusted collaborators, and we work remotely across U.S. time zones, either alongside your team or running the whole project ourselves.
A couple of sentences is plenty. You'll hear back within a business day.
