Web design, New Jersey and NYC
Websites that take
the booking while you work.
We're a small studio in New Jersey. We design and build websites by hand for restaurants, salons, churches and musicians across NJ and NYC, then shoot the photos that go on them and set up the Google Ads that bring people to them. You talk to the people doing the work, in English or Portuguese.
Starter sites from $600, with a fixed written quote before any work starts.
Selected work
Built for real businesses,
doing real work.
Every site below is live today, taking reservations, selling scores, listing service times and booking chairs.

Everything a site needs,
from the same people.
Most projects start with the website. The ads bring people to it, and the photos are what they see when they get there. We do all three ourselves, so nothing gets lost between three vendors.
Websites built by hand
Paty Sabor Brasil takes reservations on WhatsApp. D'Linhares Hair books chairs online, in two languages. VCello Music sells scores at any hour. No templates, no page builders: each site is designed around the one thing you want a visitor to do, and built to load fast on a phone.
See prices and the sitesMarketing we test on ourselves
A good site still needs visitors. We run our own Google Ads, in English and Portuguese, with landing pages written to match the ads, and we can set yours up the same way, along with your Google Business Profile, posts and photos for Instagram and Facebook, menus and flyers in the site's colors, and the tracking that shows which calls came from where.

Nobody books a table from a blurry photo. We own the gear, more than $20,000 of cameras, lenses, lights and audio, and we shoot knowing the layout, so the big photo at the top is the right shape and the menu photos line up. Add a shoot to the site, or book one on its own.
See what we shootThe studio
We're small on purpose. When you write, you reach the people designing, building, and photographing your site. No account manager, no handoff.
Our clients so far are people who care about their craft too: a Brazilian restaurant, a violinist, a music publisher, a church, a salon. If you've built something worth sending people to, we'd like to build the site that does it.
Run a non-profit?
We set aside time each year for discounted and pro bono work for organizations doing good.
How it works
No mystery, no jargon.
Talk
A short call about what you do, who you serve, and what you need. No pitch decks. Fifteen minutes is usually enough, and it's free.
Quote
You get a fixed written quote and a timeline before anything starts. If a shoot belongs in the project, it goes in the same quote. Ads get a written quote of their own.
Build
We sketch the direction early so nothing is a surprise later, then build the site and shoot whatever it needs, with you reviewing on your own phone along the way.
Launch
We put it live, submit it to Google, and check that the forms, the phone links and the booking button work. After that you send changes through the portal, and a person answers.
