Our Story

323 Design began in 2003 when Kirk Johnson, a Nashville native and former University of Illinois quarterback, realized that the world of web design and digital marketing was much less painful than being pummeled by 300lb defensive linemen. And yes, that is Kirk in the photo.

Our Mission

Our mission is to help our clients thrive by delivering professional, creative, and affordable web design and marketing solutions combined with truly personal customer support. For 15 years and counting, we have worked hard to fulfill our mission by treating each project like it’s our own.

Our Studio

Our studio is located in the Moran House in the heart of historic downtown Franklin, TN. Charles Moran, an accomplished cabinetmaker, built the Moran House circa 1820. In his shop on the premises, he made furniture for the finest houses in the area.

Dr. Thomas A. Pope bought the house in 1896 and practiced dentistry in the office next door until his death in 1947. Miss Mary Pope taught piano here for over 60 years. The Moran House has received a preservation award for the sensitivity with which it was converted to a private residence.
