What's With the Dandelion?

The dandelion is so many beautiful things. It's a flower that transforms (my favorite) into a wistful cotton ball. Precious gifts to mothers. Grants wishes when blown. Carries seeds on the wind. Strong, resilient, and surprisingly, a weed. Available for everyone to enjoy.

About the CEO

Ashley Salinas graduated from Southern Methodist University in 2000 earning a BA in Psychology and a BFA in Fine Arts.

In 2000, during the internet startup boom, she moved to Austin, Texas to begin her web career. After learning the ropes at a few smaller web firms she decided to branch out on her own. In 2003 she started her first company "Ashley Kathleen" and later incorporated in 2011 as AK Web Apps.

AK CMS (Content Management System)

Most projects will come with our AK CMS. This is similar to WordPress and allows you to self-service your own pages, navigation, layouts, styles, etc whenever you need. This CMS has the added bonus of being written in-house so features can be added to fit your specific needs.
