ARC
Everything we learned went into ARC, our own platform. It's where we build every website and tool now.
Meet the founder
Tylor Llewellyn
Founder & CEO
Tylor started programming young and is entirely self-taught. In 2006 he built Apt 1, with a vision of an operating system that runs online. For the next 20 years, Apt drove almost all of his work for every client, through Apt 7, Apt 9 and APT11.
He started L7 Tech in 2010 and incorporated it in 2012. Tylor is a husband and a father, and he runs L7 Tech with his wife, Melissa, who is the company's CFO.
In their words
What clients said
“L7 has been a fantastic partner in designing our app and website. Their team is highly skilled, responsive, and truly understands our vision.”
Jennifer Burke
“What's made this partnership so successful is the constant feedback and upgrading that we have been able to establish since the initial launch of our registration system.”
Ryan O'Neill
“We have greatly enjoyed working with L7 Tech. They have gone the extra mile for us both when creating the system and when adding new features.”
