Thencan Designs

Company Story

Sam Sarsten founded Thencan Designs in 2023 after teaching himself WordPress and SEO, driven by a desire to help small businesses in his community thrive online. What started as a solo venture quickly grew into a top-rated SEO agency serving all of Central Oregon and beyond. Sam’s deep ties to Bend and his commitment to relationship-first business make him a trusted local partner for solopreneurs and service providers.
