Websites, systems, and digital infrastructure.
The delivery side builds the things clients need to publish, sell, explain, capture leads, and move faster online.
Delivery + Publishing
CDG has two working sides: digital delivery for clients, and a publishing side that produces its own observations, guides, and reports.
Research, observations, and field guides.
The publishing side produces public reads and member reports, showing the same research discipline we bring into client work.
What we deliver
Media systems for real-world ideas.
Websites
Fast, accessible, hand-built sites and tools — not template fills. Deployed on infrastructure you own.
Research-backed content
Field guides, data briefs, and town-level studies grounded in public records and primary sources.
Brand systems
Locked design systems — type, color, mark, layout — that hold across everything you publish.
Digital infrastructure
Domains, deployment, lead capture, and the plumbing that makes a publishing operation run.
Selected work / Built and published
The proof is the product.
Every piece below is something we built and published — live, real, and the same caliber we build for clients. The portfolio doesn't describe the work. It is the work.
Publishing
Town-level reads, cut tight.
Short, public-facing cards that isolate one local pattern, compare what changed, and make the finding clear without inflating it into a full report. This is the publishing side working in the open — and the reason the capability claim above is credible.

Open observationMembers only
Private reports with the work shown.
The public observations show the method. Private reports are where that method becomes a finished product — full sourcing, the data behind the headline, and the judgment calls left in. People pay for these. That's the point: the publishing side is proof that the delivery side can build.
