Selected work
A look at what we build.
Self-initiated concepts, not client commissions. Each is built around a real kind of business, with a live site you can open.
01Concept
Vanta
A concept site for a road motorcycle built in a run of 99. The bike surfaces out of smoke in WebGL, the weight savings are broken down part by part, the dash responds to its own switchgear, and an allocation request takes the place of a checkout.
02Concept
Prior
A concept site for a glacial water brand that releases 2,400 bottles a year. A WebGL bottle carries the page, the water's age and chemistry are set out plainly, and a register takes the place of a checkout.
03Concept
Aske Tarn
A concept site for an architecture practice in Copenhagen and Porto. Set out like a drawing set, with a project index and one clear route to the studio's contact details.
04Concept
Electric Orchid
A concept site for a Portland tattoo studio. Four resident artists, a flash sheet that changes monthly, and a booking path that starts from the work itself.

Pricing
Clear pricing, start to finish.
One-time website projects, with optional monthly care if you want the upkeep handled.
Website packages
Every package starts with a conversation to agree the scope. Redesigning a site you already have? It’s priced the same way. How a redesign works
Custom site
$500
A site designed around your business, with the scope agreed before work starts.
Every website project includes
- Custom design, built from scratch
- Mobile-first, responsive build
- SEO fundamentals
- Performance and accessibility checks
- Launch on a domain in your name
Custom websites starting at $500
One straightforward price. No hidden fees and no required monthly contract.
Payment is made upfront before your project begins. Once I have everything needed to build your site, your 3-business-day delivery window starts.
Optional Care plans are available after launch for businesses that want ongoing updates, maintenance, and support.
Monthly care & maintenance
Optional. A care plan looks after your site once it’s live: monitoring, security and dependency updates, and deployments handled for you. Care+ and Partner add monthly time for small content changes and priority support, and Partner adds a monthly performance check. Site built somewhere else? See how care works

Good to know
- Do I need a care plan?
- No, care is optional. Your website project is a one-time price, and a care plan is a separate monthly subscription.
- What if I skip or cancel care?
- You keep your site. We hand over the code and access so you, or a developer you choose, can take over hosting and upkeep.
