ServicesWeb Design & Development
Websites that don’t look like everyone else’s.
Designed, built, photographed and hosted by one small team in Juneau, Alaska, since 2007. No templates, no outsourcing, and no account managers between you and the people doing the work.

We sell what we run.
Everything below runs on our own servers, and most of it is live on this site so you can try it before you buy it.
Business and marketing sites
Fast, clear sites that explain what you do and make it easy to call, book or buy. Written with you, not for you.
Online stores
Products, prints, gift cards and subscriptions, with checkout that works on a phone in a parking lot.
Redesigns and rebuilds
A new site without losing the search ranking, links and content you already earned.
Feature systems
Bookings, courses, events, donations, e-signatures and a CRM, built into your site instead of rented separately.
Fast and accessible
Readable contrast, keyboard-friendly navigation and pages that load quickly on rural connections.
Photography and content
We shoot our own photography and aerial video, so your site shows your place, not a stock photo of someone else’s.
How a project runs
Five steps, the same people at every one.
You will talk to the designer and the developer directly, from the first call to the day you call us about an update a year later.
- 1
Discover
A conversation about your business, your customers and what the site has to do. Our site survey gets the details down first.
- 2
Design
Layouts with your real words and photos, not lorem ipsum. You see it in a browser, on your phone, before we build.
- 3
Build
We build on WordPress, which you own, with the features you need switched on and nothing you don’t.
- 4
Launch
We move it live at a quiet hour, check every page and form, and watch it for the first days. Launches are boring by design.
- 5
Care
Updates, backups and security on our managed hosting, plus a real person when you want a change.
Built in, not bolted on
Every site leaves the studio with these.
Each one has its own page if you want to see how it works.
Speed work
Caching, a global network for your files, lazy-loaded images and lean code.
Search basics done right
Titles, descriptions, clean addresses, sitemaps and the structured data search engines read.
Image optimization
Photos resized and converted automatically, so a 9 MB camera file becomes a few hundred kilobytes.
Analytics
Visits, sources and conversions in plain language, without a pile of tracking scripts.
Forms that work
Quotes, sign-ups and applications with conditional questions, uploads and signatures.
Monthly health reports
Uptime, updates, security and speed for your site, every month, in one page.
Photographers first
We shoot the pictures, too.
A website is mostly pictures and a few good sentences. We are the only web studio in Southeast Alaska that shoots its own professional photography and aerial video, so your site can show your real storefront, crew and view.
- Photo and drone shoots planned with the design, not after it
- Your photos licensed for your site and your marketing
- Help with the words: headlines, service pages and the about page
Questions
Good questions, straight answers.
Anything else? Call (424) 209-8199 and you’ll talk to the people who do the work.
How much does a website cost?
It depends on what the site has to do, so we quote every project after a short conversation. The site survey gets us most of the way to a real number, and there is never a charge for the first call.
How long does it take?
It depends on the size of the site and how quickly the words and photos come together. You get a schedule with the quote, and we keep to it.
Will I own my website?
Yes. Your site is built on WordPress, the content and design are yours, and if you ever leave our hosting we hand you a full copy.
Can you redesign my site without hurting my Google ranking?
Yes. We map every old address to its new one, keep what search engines already like about your pages and watch your search traffic after launch.
Do I have to host with you?
We build for our own managed hosting because that is how we can promise speed, security and backups. If you have a reason to host elsewhere, talk to us.
Can I update the site myself?
Yes. We set it up so the things you change often are easy to change, and we show you how. When you would rather not, send us an email.
Design. Develop. Deliver.
Have a big idea, or a site that’s let you down?
Tell us about it. No published rates and no pressure, just a conversation with the people who would build it.
