Premium websites,
right-sized for small business.

It depends on the role the site plays in the business. A site that is the front door to a service business with high-value clients earns its keep at four to five figures. A site that is mostly a placeholder for a passing referral does not justify that investment. The studio works with small businesses where the site is a real piece of the sales process — typically engagements begin in the mid four figures.

A template fits the business into a generic shape and decorates it. A custom site starts with the actual business — what it sells, who it serves, how it talks — and builds outward from that. Custom sites cost more up front, but they sell better, age better, and do not look like every other small business in the same category.

Yes. Sites are built so the parts the business needs to update — copy, images, team members, projects, posts — sit in a structured content layer that a non-technical owner can edit through a clean admin or a simple content file. Changes that touch design or layout typically come back to the studio, by design, so the system stays coherent.

No, not as the studio default. Most engagements ship on a static-built stack (typically Astro) deployed to a global edge network — that delivers better performance, better SEO, and lower long-term cost than a page builder. Content is managed through structured files or a headless CMS, depending on the engagement.

Possibly. The studio works best with businesses that have an existing identity, an existing customer base, or enough traction to know what the site needs to say. For pre-launch businesses, a tightly-scoped strategy engagement is often a better fit than a full website build — define the question first, build the site once it is clear.

A focused build typically ships in four to eight weeks once content and direction are settled. The schedule reflects the studio taking a small number of engagements at once — there is no production-line backlog and no shared designer-developer hours.
