Small studio · NYC

Simple, honest websites for small businesses.

One-page sites that look right and work right. Clean design, fair pricing, no long-term contracts. Built for shops, restaurants, and small studios that just need a real online presence — not a marketing machine.

Concepts and redesigns for real local businesses. Each one starts from the business's own story — its customers, its history, what makes it itself.

Astoria Auto Repair Auto · Concept

A 60+ year family-run shop in Woodside. The redesign leans into heritage — three generations of customer trust as the headline, customer voice front and center. Phone-first because that's how their customers actually contact them.

Astoria Auto Repair — alt direction Auto · Concept

Same business, different angle. This version leads with services for the customer Googling "auto repair near me" — heritage credentials become supporting proof rather than the lead. Two directions, two conversations the owner can have about who they want to be.

Jorday Rivera Dance Studio Dance · Concept

A 28-year-old Forest Hills institution teaching everything from toddler ballet to wedding choreography. The redesign splits four customer types into clear paths — kids, adults, weddings, quinceañeras — and surfaces the legacy the current site undersells.

A short call or email exchange to understand the business — who comes in, what makes it itself, what the site needs to do.

02

Two directions

You see two distinct concepts, not five variations of the same idea. One feels right, we build that one.
