Custom website design for high-end businesses

What every project includes

Design

A site designed around your business, your photos and your customers. Not a theme with your logo dropped in.

Code

Custom-coded in plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript. No page builder, no plugins, nothing to update every month.

Copy

We write every page from a conversation about your business. You correct facts and tone during revisions.

Basic SEO

Page titles and descriptions, a clean heading structure, structured data, a sitemap and fast load times, all in place at launch.

Revisions

Up to three rounds after you see the first full version.

Ownership

After the final payment, the site is yours. The domain and hosting are in your name.

Meetings

Every project runs over video calls, from the first conversation to launch.

Why custom-coded

A template is built to work for anyone, which means it was never built for you. Customers who pay for quality notice when a site looks like a thousand others, and they notice when it loads slowly on a phone.

A custom-coded site is designed around how your customers decide. A med spa needs a page for every treatment. A builder needs projects sorted by type. A boutique needs its photos to carry the page. Because there's no builder underneath, the site stays fast and doesn't break when a plugin updates.

The tradeoff is real: you don't edit the site yourself. Changes go through Site Care, turned around in five business days. If you want to change your site every week, a builder you can edit is the better fit, and we'll say so on the first call. Squarespace or custom? Read the comparison →

Who we build for

Independent businesses whose customers judge them on quality: the product, the service, the room they walk into. We've written up what the site needs to do for each of these:

• Med spas: a page per treatment, booking one tap away, credentials stated plainly.
• Interior designers: project pages with a story, and an inquiry form that qualifies.
• Custom home builders: galleries split by type of work, a process page and a clear service area.
• Landscape design firms: projects shown by the problem they solved, design-build kept apart from maintenance.
• Boutiques and showrooms: photo-led, with hours, events and a link to your store.
• Car clubs: a collection that grows and an application that asks the right questions.

We're not the right fit if you need a full online store. We link your site to the store you already run.

Redesigns

If you already have a Wix or Squarespace site that looks like its template, or a WordPress theme that has slowed down and breaks when it's edited, we rebuild it from scratch in custom code. Your domain comes with you, and we carry over the content worth keeping and rewrite the rest.

Not sure you need a new site at all? Redesign or refresh: how to tell. Comparing platforms first? Wix, Squarespace, WordPress or custom.

How a project runs

A call about your business, then a written proposal with scope, price and timeline before any work starts. We write and design the full site, you get up to three rounds of revisions, and we launch it on your domain with basic SEO in place. After launch, Site Care handles changes.

Sites we've built

We designed and custom-coded the site for 1 of 1 Car Club, a private Porsche club based in Chicago and Dallas, and built aamineez.art, a pro bono portfolio for an Arabic calligraphy artist. Our other client work is care and edits for existing sites. Every project is labeled with exactly what we did. See the work →
