Not a freelancer. Not an agency. Something better.
The Apricity Difference
Most businesses outgrow the freelancer before they’re ready to pay agency prices. Apricity exists in that gap. You get one person who knows your business, backed by a trusted network of specialists who’ve been doing this for years. Strategic, accountable, and reachable by phone.
Leading the Way
Mary-Frances O'Dea
Mary-Frances O’Dea founded Apricity Web Solutions nearly 20 years ago with a straightforward idea: small and mid-sized businesses deserve digital infrastructure that actually works, not just a website that looks good at launch and falls apart six months later.
She works as a conductor, not a freelancer or an agency. She leads the strategy, manages the relationships, and coordinates a trusted network of developers, designers, and technical specialists who handle execution. Clients get one clear point of contact and a team behind the scenes.
Her work spans web development, ADA and WCAG accessibility compliance, systems integration, and AI-powered automation platforms. She holds multiple ADA certifications from the Rocky Mountain ADA Center and is a certified partner in the Claude AI Partner Network through Anthropic. Apricity is HUBZone certified.
She has a particular focus on organizations that are large enough to have real operational problems but don’t have an internal IT department to solve them. Those are the clients who get the most out of what Apricity does.
About the snow?
Apricity:
noun: obsolete
The warmth of the Sun in winter.
When I came across this word, I was forming my new company and the mental scene struck me as calm, inviting and everything you should expect from a consultant. I hope to invoke a sense of calm and confidence in everyone I work with and I’m putting these values to work in my professional life and personal life as well.

WHO WE WORK WITH BEST
Apricity’s best clients tend to look like this: a regional nonprofit, a parks and recreation district, a mid-size service business, a trade association, or a growing company that has outgrown its current digital setup. They need someone who can see the whole picture, not just fix the immediate problem.
If that sounds like you, a 30-minute conversation is usually enough to figure out whether we’re the right fit.
