Restaurant & Oyster Bar
The Salt & Anchor
A restaurant one-pager: the menu as real text, hours up front, and a table booked without a phone call.
Web Design
Business websites, personal profiles, and portfolios
We build fast, mobile-first websites around what you need people to understand, remember, and do next, whether that is booking a table, requesting a quote, viewing a body of work, or commissioning a piece.
See it working
Three websites you can click through
Each is built around the one thing its customer came to do: book a table, ask for an estimate, or book a stay direct.
General Contractor
Tidewater Builders
A contractor site that answers the trust questions first and catches the estimate request when you can't pick up.
Vacation Rental
Azure Vista Beach House
A vacation rental's own site: rates, house rules, and an inquiry form that skips the listing platform's cut.
The businesses are fictional; the websites and software are real and fully working.
For a business, your website is the storefront for everyone who finds you online. For an artist, maker, consultant, or independent professional, it may be the first complete view anyone gets of your work. In both cases, the site has a few seconds to feel credible, load quickly, and make the next step obvious. We build for that moment.
Best for businesses and independent professionals whose website is dated, generic, hard to use on a phone, or nonexistent. Not the right fit if the website already does its job and the real problem is a broken internal workflow; look at custom software instead. If a local business site is sound but hard to find, start with local SEO or the free check-up.
Built for local customers ready to act
We design around what your customers actually do: find your hours, see your menu or services, get directions, read reviews, and reach out. Every page points toward a clear action.
- Mobile-first and fast — built for the phone, where local search happens, and tuned to load quickly.
- Easy to contact — click-to-call, maps, hours, and simple contact or quote forms front and center.
- Clear offering — services, menus, or products laid out so visitors understand what you do at a glance.
- Built to convert — strong calls-to-action, review sections, and booking or quote paths that move people forward.
- Kept current — send us new hours, specials, or photos and they're made within three business days, as part of the plan, so the site never goes stale.
Built for work worth presenting
A personal site should not read like a business template with the labels changed. We shape profiles and portfolios around the work itself: selected projects or collections, biography and credentials, commissions or services, and a clear way to inquire, book, buy, or collaborate.
- A clear point of view - typography, pacing, and layout that support the work rather than overpower it.
- Flexible project structure - enough context to make each piece meaningful without burying visitors in an archive.
- A useful next step - commissions, print sales, speaking, bookings, licensing, or a simple introduction.
- Built beyond social media - a durable home you control, not a profile shaped by someone else's feed.
See real examples
Our work is not a wall of screenshots. Every demo is a real website you can click through, from restaurants, charters, and shops to a fully working creative portfolio. It is the fastest way to picture your own. For the essentials a local business site needs, our guide on the five things every local website needs is a good starting point.
What's included
Web design is the heart of the Website Plan: up to 5 pages for $99 a month, with hosting, your domain, and small edits included. Extra pages, a blog, a menu, online booking, or a store are monthly add-ons. Pair a site with custom software and the software is an add-on on the same plan. Every project is assessed for automation that genuinely helps, with AI included only where it solves something real. We work across Long Beach, Astoria, and the rest of the coast.
Common questions
Web Design — straight answers
Can you redesign my existing website instead of starting over?
Usually, yes. We'll look at what's working, what's hurting you, and whether a refresh or a rebuild makes more sense — then recommend the smaller option whenever it solves the problem. The free check-up is the fastest way to get that read.
Will my site work well on phones?
That's the priority, not an afterthought. We design mobile-first, whether a visitor needs calling, directions, and booking in one tap or a portfolio needs to make images, project details, and inquiries feel effortless on a small screen.
Do you build personal websites and creative portfolios?
Yes. We build personal profiles and portfolios for artists, photographers, makers, consultants, and other independent professionals. A straightforward portfolio fits the Website Plan; a shop is the Online store add-on, and a highly bespoke design is the Custom design add-on.
Do I own the website when it's done?
Your domain, words, photos, and data are yours from the start, and the website itself becomes yours after 24 paid months, or sooner with a buyout. After the first three months it's month to month: stop at the end of any month, with no exit fee. Some general building blocks we reuse across sites stay ours; your order lists them.
How much does a website cost and how long does it take?
The Website Plan is $99 a month for up to 5 pages, with the first three months ($297) paid when you sign. Most sites go live within 2 weeks, depending on how quickly content and approvals come together. See the pricing page for add-ons and terms.
