Detroit philosophy. No Detroit clichés.Built around the business, not around a template.
01 / What we build

Focused services. No agency bloat.

The work stays close to the things customers actually experience: the website, the interface, the content hierarchy, and the systems that make the finished product useful.

Web

New websites

Strategy, information architecture, responsive interface design, Webflow or custom implementation, launch, and handoff.

Rebuild

Website refreshes

For established businesses whose current digital presentation no longer matches the quality, reputation, or maturity of the business.

Product

UX/UI design

User flows, information architecture, prototypes, design systems, and product interfaces shaped around real use—not decoration.

Support

Website care

Optional ongoing maintenance, content updates, refinements, QA, and support after launch. Useful when needed; never the entire business model.

03 / Process

Built like a system, not a template.

Every project starts with the business problem. The visual design comes after the structure is right.

01Audit

Business, customers, current site, proof, competitors, technical constraints, and where the presentation is breaking down.

02Direction

Positioning, information architecture, content priorities, and the visual system that best fits the business.

03Design

High-fidelity responsive interface work with real content and deliberate interaction decisions.

04Build

Production implementation, responsive behavior, accessibility, integrations, content, and technical QA.

05Ship

Launch, SEO fundamentals, analytics readiness, handoff, and an optional support plan if the project needs one.

04 / Studio principles
01
No fake proof.

No invented client counts, fake testimonials, fabricated analytics, or vanity metrics. The work carries the credibility.

02
Templates are raw material.

A good foundation can save time. It should never be obvious what template the final business started from.

03
Build for the next click.

Navigation, hierarchy, content, and interaction should make the customer’s next decision easier—not merely make the page prettier.

04
Ship something maintainable.

The finished site should be understandable, editable, responsive, and clean enough to keep improving after launch.

05 / Typical investment

Project-based first. Care only when useful.

Final pricing depends on scope, content, integrations, and complexity. These ranges are starting points for straightforward projects.

Landing page

$500–750

One focused page for a launch, service, campaign, or offer.

Small business site

$1,000–1,500

A complete responsive site for a straightforward local or service business.

Refresh / rebuild

$1,250–2,000+

For existing sites that need stronger structure, design, hierarchy, or migration work.

Custom

Quoted

Larger sites, product design, advanced interactions, integrations, or broader systems.
