Who we are.
And why we do things differently.
Jeff Gutowski
Founder & Lead Developer
Built different. On purpose.
Break The Image was founded by Jeff Gutowski in 2016 with a simple mission: build websites that actually work for businesses, and be honest about what that takes.
After seeing too many businesses burned by agencies making promises they couldn't keep, we decided to do things differently. No BS. No jargon. No mysterious timelines.
"Our goal is to give business owners tools for success, and then educate them so that one day they can take full control of their own success."

What we believe
The principles that guide everything we do.
Beautiful & Effective
Why choose between stunning design and real results? We build sites that turn heads AND turn visitors into customers.
You Should Understand
We explain what we're doing and why. Our goal is to make you smarter about your marketing, not dependent on us.
Honesty, Even When It's Hard
We'll tell you if something won't work. We'd rather lose a sale than set you up to fail.
Your Success = Our Success
When you win, we win. That's why we focus on strategies that actually move the needle for your business.
Deep industry expertise
