Better than what your competitors have. For less than what they paid.
A two-person web shop in Washington State, building the kind of sites your business actually deserves — and the kind of software behind them when the work calls for it.
A short manifesto
Most shops need a clean storefront site. A few need real software behind it. We do both — at prices that don't require an agency contract.
We started by fixing our friends' websites because they asked. Same story every time — a real business doing real work, with an online front built by someone's nephew in 2012 and nobody's touched since.
Fixed prices. Two-week builds. Two actual humans answering your texts. No project manager. No retainer. No contract you need a lawyer to read.
Selected work
Six sites. Six trades.
PostalAnnex of Gig Harbor
A WA franchise shop running on the bland corporate template. We rebuilt it with a maritime palette, real reviews, an illustrated owner portrait, and every franchise deep-link kept intact.
Read the buildEmber Root
Dark editorial restaurant site. GSAP scroll animations, parallax hero, seasonal menu, and a reservation form. The kind of site that earns a second look on a Tuesday night.
Read the buildHigh Desert Collective
Premium cannabis storefront. Age gate, smooth scroll, GSAP reveals, real product photography, location cards. Built by someone who actually knows the distribution side.
Read the buildApex Fitness
A premium gym site with scroll-storytelling, Lenis smooth scroll, coach profiles, program cards, and membership pricing. Designed to turn a tour into a signed membership.
Read the buildMaison Noir Studio
Ultra-minimal luxury interior-design portfolio. Restrained scroll animations, elegant typography, gold accents. Proof we can do high-end minimalist when the brand calls for it.
Read the buildSummit Roofing
Lead-gen site for a local trades business. Trust signals, before/after gallery, prominent quote form. The template most of our cold-pitch customers will actually want.

The agency
