Web Design & Build

Sites that look like nobody else's and ship fast.

We design and build marketing sites, e-commerce stores, and interactive product sites. Bespoke design, modern stack (Next.js, Sanity, Shopify), built for performance and easy to maintain after we hand off.

// INSIDE THE SERVICE

WHAT'S ACTUALLY IN IT.

Most studios bundle. We unbundle so you can see exactly what you're paying for and what to expect at handoff.

Marketing Sites

Bespoke design + Next.js builds for company sites, landing pages, and product launches. Animated, fast, on-brand.

  • Custom design (no templates)
  • Next.js / Astro / Webflow
  • CMS-driven content
  • Analytics + tag setup

E-Commerce

Shopify and headless commerce stores designed to convert. Product pages, checkout flow, post-purchase, the whole stack.

  • Shopify Plus + headless
  • Custom theme development
  • Subscription + bundles
  • Checkout optimization

CMS Setup

Sanity, Contentful, or Webflow CMS configured so your team can actually update content without breaking the design.

  • Schema design
  • Editor experience
  • Preview environments
  • Migration from legacy CMS

Performance

We build for Core Web Vitals from day one. Most sites we ship hit 95+ Lighthouse out of the gate.

WCAG 2.2 AA compliance, structured data, technical SEO baked in. Not bolted on after.

// FREQUENTLY ASKED

QUESTIONS
WE GET A LOT.

Do you work in a specific stack?+

Yes — Next.js + Sanity for most marketing sites, Shopify Plus / Hydrogen for e-commerce. We're opinionated because we ship faster when we don't reinvent the stack every project. We'll use your stack if you have a strong existing setup.

Can we update the site ourselves after launch?+

Yes — that's the point of the CMS. We design the editor experience around your team's actual workflow and train you. No more sending us a Slack message every time you change a headline.

How do you handle SEO?+

Technical SEO (schema, sitemap, performance, accessibility) is built in. Keyword research, content strategy, and link building are not — those need an SEO specialist working alongside us, which we can recommend.

Will the site be fast?+

Yes. We target Core Web Vitals 'Good' on all metrics and Lighthouse 95+ for most marketing sites. Performance is a design constraint we work within from day one, not a thing we fix at the end.

Do you offer hosting?+

We deploy to Vercel / Netlify / Cloudflare Pages by default — you own the account and the bill. We can manage hosting on retainer if you want.
