Custom site solutions

Bespoke websites and client portals built on modern stacks — no templates, no compromises.

A few other things we've shipped.

How it works

Watch your project come to life.

Every client gets a live portal — track stages, tasks, payments, and chat with the studio in real time. No black box, no ghosting.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    We map goals, scope, and the shape of the thing.

  2. 02

    Design

    Wireframes to polished UI you can actually click.

  3. 03

    Build

    Ship in stages — you watch it come alive in the portal.

  4. 04

    Launch

    Deploy, hand off, and keep it humming.

Two ways to build it

Pick the platform that fits your goals.

We build websites two ways — on Wix or WordPress for a fast, affordable launch, or fully custom-coded (React / Next.js) for a faster, higher-performing site you completely own. Here's the honest trade-off.

Fast & budget-friendly

Wix & WordPress

Get online quickly on a proven platform you can run yourself.

Pros

  • Online faster, with a lower upfront cost
  • You can edit content yourself
  • Huge template & plugin ecosystem
  • Hosting & security handled for you

Trade-offs

  • Ongoing platform / hosting subscription
  • Design & performance bounded by templates
  • Plugins & themes need regular updates
  • Some platform lock-in

Wix — the simplest, fully-hosted, most hands-off start. WordPress — the world's most popular CMS, ideal for content-heavy sites and blogs, more flexible, and fully portable.

Recommended for most

Custom (Next.js)

A faster, higher-performing site you fully own — built without template limits.

Pros

  • Hand-coded — no templates, no compromises
  • Top-tier speed & SEO ceiling
  • Fully yours, portable, no platform lock-in
  • Unlimited customization, low monthly fee

Trade-offs

  • Higher upfront investment
  • Needs technical hosting & maintenance
  • Longer build for larger scopes

Kept fast and secure under our Care Package, or handed fully over to you.

Care & pricing

Managing your site? Easy.

Once your site is live, keeping it running is simple. Pick the care package that fits — Wix / WordPress Care or Custom Care — add a Monthly Partner plan for ongoing design & dev hours, or bring in New Development whenever you're ready to grow. Simple, flexible pricing, and every plan includes your live client portal.

FAQ

How the plans work.

The short version: Care keeps your site running; hours build new things; unused hours roll over.

Is the build calculator a real quote?

It's a live ballpark to get us on the same page — not a fixed quote. It reflects our standard build pricing and add-ons, but your exact figure depends on design complexity and scope, which we confirm together in a short discovery call before any work begins. When you hit “Start this build,” your selections come straight to us so we can pick up right where you left off.

What's the difference between Managed (Wix / WordPress) and Custom Care?

Both keep your existing site healthy and online — updates, backups, security monitoring, uptime monitoring, and your live client portal. Managed ($125/mo) covers a Wix or WordPress site, including content edits and small tweaks. Custom Care ($150/mo) covers a custom-coded site with managed hosting, SSL, and unlimited maintenance requests. Neither includes brand-new design or development work — that's what dev hours are for.

Maintenance request vs. hour request — what's the difference?

A maintenance request keeps what you already have working and current — and it's included in Care. An hour request builds or changes something new — and it draws from your dev hours.

Examples of a maintenance request (included in Care)

Editing existing text or swapping an image · updating prices, hours, or a phone number · fixing a broken link · applying updates & backups · restoring from a backup · a small style tweak on an existing element (roughly 15 minutes or less). No new pages or new functionality.

Examples of an hour request (uses dev hours)

A new page or section · a new feature or form · a design change or redesign · a third-party integration · custom code · a performance or SEO project · anything that adds or changes how the site works. We estimate it up front and track it live in your portal.

How do the hours and roll-over work?

Monthly Partner includes a 3-hour bucket every month at no extra cost. Need more in a given month? Add à la carte hours anytime at $100/hr — you choose how many. Any hours you don't use roll over to the next month and keep accumulating as long as you stay a Monthly Partner (unused hours expire if you cancel).

Do all plans include the client portal?

Yes — every plan comes with your own live client portal: project stages and tasks, your hours balance, files and brand kit, payment history, and direct messaging with the studio.

How do I pay, change, or cancel?

You build and manage your plan right in the portal — adjust hours, upgrade, or cancel anytime. Subscriptions run securely on Stripe; one-off invoices go through Pixieset.
