Web design & build on WordPress
Fast sites, structured for search and AI answers, self-hosted and fully yours. Landing pages start at $1,500.
How these sites are built
Found, owned, fast
Most small business sites are a template with the logo dropped on top. These are the three things a template does not give you.
Found
01 · Found by search and by AI
- Schema markup, direct-answer blocks and question-shaped headings written into the page
- Copy structured around how buyers actually search, not around how the business is organized
- Server-rendered HTML, so crawlers and AI assistants read the real text
Owned
02 · Yours, not rented
- Self-hosted WordPress. The files, the content and the database belong to you
- Forms and the event calendar run on plugins I wrote, with entries stored on your own install
- Coming off Wix, every existing URL is preserved
Fast
03 · Fast because it was built that way
- Fonts served from your own domain, so no outside font server sits in the load path
- No stack of page builder add-ons doing work the build should already do
- Built on the hosting the site will actually live on, and tested there before launch

The forms and calendar are ours too
Most WordPress sites rent their contact form and their event calendar from somebody else. That means scripts the studio does not control and your submissions sitting in a stranger’s dashboard. Both of these are written here, so they fit the way the site is built.
Studio Forms
Every form the site needs, running on your own install.
- 44 field types, signature and file upload included
- Multi-step forms with conditional logic
- Stripe checkout for products, deposits and donations
- Entries stored in your own database
- Views, starts and completions tracked per form
Studio Events
A real events calendar, not a plugin bolted on.
- Seven calendar views, including map and photo
- Venues, organizers, series and recurring dates
- Tickets with Stripe, QR codes and door check-in
- CSV and ICS import
- Maps on OpenStreetMap, no Google key to buy
Licensing
Both plugins are licensed per site and renew yearly, the same way hosting and the domain do. The fee sits alongside the build cost, not inside it, and it is quoted before anything starts.

Asked and answered
Do you still build websites on Wix?
No. The studio builds on WordPress now. Wix is fine for a brochure site, but it limits performance, structured data, and ownership, three things that matter more every year as search moves toward AI-generated answers. Existing Wix clients are supported and can be migrated.
Do you work in Shopify?
Yes. Storefront creative, product pages, and campaign assets built to Shopify’s templates and image specs, so nothing breaks when it’s uploaded.
Do you build WooCommerce stores?
Yes, on WooCommerce, built into the same WordPress site rather than bolted on. Products, categories, variations and images are loaded, and checkout is set up and tested, so the store is ready to sell on launch day instead of being a shell you have to fill yourself. You own it the way you own the rest of the site. A store is quoted separately from the website packages, because the price follows the size of the catalogue.
What makes a site visible to AI assistants?
Server-rendered HTML, direct-answer blocks, question-shaped headings, valid schema markup, and named entities early on the page. Every site the studio builds is structured this way from the start. It’s how this one is built.
Who owns the site when we’re done?
You do. WordPress is open-source and self-hosted, so the files, the content, and the hosting account are yours. No platform lock-in, no monthly ransom for your own website.
What powers the forms and the event calendar?
Two plugins the studio wrote, Studio Forms and Studio Events. Because they are built here they fit the way the site is built, no third-party script loads on every page, and form submissions stay on your own server. They are licensed per site and renew yearly, like hosting and the domain, and the fee is quoted with the build.
Can you take over a site someone else built?
Yes. Several of the sites under studio care were built elsewhere and are kept running month to month. If a rebuild is worth the money I will say so and tell you why. If it is not, it gets maintained as it is.
