About Infrastructure, Inc.
More than three decades of building, solving, and adapting.
Infrastructure, Inc. — doing business as infraNET — has been building technology solutions since 1993.
About infraNET
The technology has changed enormously.
The company hasn’t.
infraNET is still owned by its founders, Tyra and Patrick, and we still approach our work much the same way we did in the beginning: understand the problem, build the right solution, and take care of the people who trust us with their business.
What we do today
Today, infraNET provides website development, hosting, management, and ongoing technical and content support for small businesses and nonprofit organizations.
Through our sister brand, ChurchBuzz, we provide website and communication services specifically for churches and ministries.
Our work includes everything from website planning and development to hosting, DNS, forms, payment integrations, Google Workspace, content management, troubleshooting, training, and the day-to-day work required to keep a website useful and current.
Patrick continues to work primarily in sophisticated software architecture, e-commerce, systems integration, automation, and technical project management.
We are also developing a growing family of niche e-commerce businesses, applying the same development and integration experience we have built over the years to ventures of our own.
Why clients work with us
After more than three decades in technology, we have watched platforms, trends, tools, and plenty of “must-have” technologies come and go.
That experience gives us perspective.
We are interested in new technology when it solves a real problem — not simply because it is new. Our focus is on practical solutions that are dependable, maintainable, and appropriate for the people who will actually use them.
01
Long-term thinking
We have been doing this since 1993. We build and recommend solutions with the long term in mind — not just the next launch, update, or technology trend.
02
Straightforward partnership
Technology should make your work easier, not more confusing. We believe in practical recommendations, clear communication, and honest conversations about what you need — and what you don’t.
03
Ongoing management
Launching a website is only the beginning. Hosting, updates, maintenance, security, troubleshooting, and content management are a significant part of what we do every day. We stay involved after the project is finished because keeping a website working well matters just as much as building it in the first place.
About Tyra & Patrick
We’ve been building technology — and a business together — since 1993.

Client relationships
We started Infrastructure, Inc. in 1993, shortly after Tyra graduated from East Texas State University with a degree in Mathematics and a minor in Computer Science.
Technology was already a big part of both of our lives.
Tyra was working for IBM in the OS/2 Application Assistance Center, providing Level 2 technical support for OS/2 and Database Manager. Patrick was also at IBM, working more deeply in software architecture, debugging, enterprise development, and critical technical support for large corporate clients.
When we started Infrastructure, the business looked very different from what it does today.
In the early years, Patrick handled much of the technical consulting, including extensive work with First Interstate Bank, while Tyra kept the company itself running — managing employees, payroll, taxes, invoicing, travel, administration, and everything else that comes with owning a growing small business.
She was also having babies during those years, which was no small part of the story.
By the late 1990s, the Internet was becoming a real business platform, and infraNET moved heavily into web application development.
Patrick specialized in the complex side of that world: software architecture, custom applications, databases, e-commerce platforms, business automation, and systems integration. One of the e-commerce systems he architected grew into a client relationship lasting more than 20 years and supported hundreds of millions of dollars in sales.
Tyra’s work developed in a different direction. She worked closely with smaller website clients, handled web development and content, managed projects and client relationships, and continued overseeing the operational and financial side of the company.
In 2010, we launched ChurchBuzz, focusing specifically on websites and online communication for churches.
ChurchBuzz became a major part of Tyra’s work. For more than a decade, she managed teams of employees and contractors providing website content management, project management, and ongoing client services.
Over the years, Tyra has managed more than 150 websites, and some of our client relationships have lasted more than 20 years.
Different strengths. One company.
Today, infraNET is still very much the company we started together, although our roles have evolved.
Patrick continues to specialize in sophisticated e-commerce architecture, software systems, integrations, automation, and technical project management. His work has included platforms and systems for organizations ranging from growing businesses to major retailers and enterprise companies.
Tyra manages the day-to-day infraNET and ChurchBuzz side of the business, working primarily with churches, nonprofits, and small businesses.
On any given day, that might mean planning a new website, managing a project, troubleshooting WordPress, configuring hosting or DNS, administering Google Workspace, building forms or payment systems, training a client, updating content — or handling payroll, taxes, invoicing, contracts, and budgets.
After more than three decades, we have worked through an extraordinary amount of change in technology.
We started when DOS and OS/2 were normal parts of the conversation. We watched the commercial Internet emerge, built custom applications before content management systems became commonplace, developed e-commerce systems before online shopping became ordinary, and adapted through generation after generation of new technology.
But one part of the business really hasn’t changed.
We like solving problems, building things that work, and taking care of the people who trust us with their business.
