three ways to work with the studio. no prices on the placards -- every engagement is quoted flat, in writing, before we start. no hourly meter, no surprise invoices.
01 / 03engagement
the commission
full site, designed and built
for the business that needs a real website. we research your trade and your town, help you write the words, and build every page by hand -- no page builders, no drag-and-drop kits. the result is mobile-first, fast, accessible, and launched on your own domain. a domain that you own, not us.

02 / 03engagement
the restoration
rescue for an existing site
for the business whose site has aged badly, gone dark, or been held hostage by an old provider. we rescue what is worth keeping, redesign the rest, and move your content over carefully. redirects are handled page by page so the search standing you have earned is not lost in the move.

+content migration, nothing dropped

03 / 03engagement
the caretaking
ongoing care
for the business that wants the site handled after launch. hosting, software updates, and backups run quietly in the background. when you need a price changed or a photo swapped, you email a real human and it gets done.
