Our Mission
At Cheeky Monkey Media, we believe your website should be more than a digital brochure. It should be a secure, reliable, and accessible tool that helps your organization grow.
For nonprofits, higher education, and mission-driven organizations, that means having a web partner you can trust. We provide expert website maintenance & support, specialized Drupal support, and reliable WordPress support so you can focus on your mission instead of your technology.
Our Values
The monkeys believe in a world where every organization has the power and confidence to share their identity online. Simply. Effectively. Thoughtfully.
