The point of view

Most websites are built at a desk, for a desk — then squeezed onto the screen where your customers actually are. Build elsewhere.

Phone-first. Not shrunk-to-fit

Most of your traffic is a phone screen — someone searching from a parking lot, a couch, a barstool. Every project here is designed at phone width first, then earns its way up to the desktop. That's why the portfolio below looks the way it does.

How we help

Everything your business
needs to show up.

One studio for all of it — so nothing gets lost in a handoff between a designer, a photographer, and an SEO contractor who have never met.

01

Websites

Hand-coded, phone-first, and fast on two bars in a parking lot. Built around your business, not a template's block library.

  • Custom design
  • Hand-built code
  • Menus & booking
  • Fast on mobile
02

E-commerce

Product pages that sell the reason to buy, not just the SKU — carts, checkout, and the copy that gets someone to it.

  • Online stores
  • Product pages
  • Conversion copy
03

Apps

From marketing site to shipped product — Fat Tail above is a live weather app, not a mockup. Tools, booking flows, and products get scoped and built here too.

  • Web apps
  • Product design
  • Launch
04

Photography

Food, product, interiors, and team — shot for the exact spot on the page it will live in. The one thing a competitor with the same template can't copy.

  • Food & drink
  • Product
  • Interiors & team
  • Library is yours
05

Video & drone

FAA Part 107 licensed and insured aerial work, brand film, and short-form clips cut for social — all edited in house.

  • Aerial / Part 107
  • Brand film
  • Social clips
06

Local SEO

Schema, real HTML menus, location pages, and a Google Business Profile that matches your site — included in every build, not sold back to you later.

  • Location pages
  • Schema
  • Google Business Profile
  • Plain-English reports

The process

Wild ideas.
Disciplined build.

  1. 01

    Find the hook

    Who you're selling to, what they're choosing between, and the one reason they pick you. Everything downstream depends on this.

  2. 02

    Write it first

    Sitemap, page order, every word — agreed before any design happens. Design around finished copy, never the reverse.

  3. 03

    Shoot it

    A half or full day on site. You keep the whole edited library — not just what ends up on the website.

  4. 04

    Build phone-first

    Coded at phone width first, reviewed as a real page in a real browser — not a flat picture of one.

  5. 05

    Launch and sharpen

    Go live, submit to Google, watch what real people do, fix what the guesses got wrong. Thirty days of support included.
