How it works

Simple enough to explain in four steps.

No kickoff calls. No discovery phase. No jargon. Fill out a short form, and I send back a real working page built for your business.

Step 1

You tell me about your business

A short form — takes two minutes. Your name, your business, what you do.

Step 2

I build a real draft in 3 days

A working page designed for your specific business — ready to launch or refine together.

Step 3

You say what to change

Two rounds of revisions. Send a list of everything you'd adjust, and we make it right.

Step 4

We go live — you own it

Domain, SSL, Google listing sorted. The keys are yours — and the care plan keeps it running.

Pricing

Three sizes. Posted prices.
No quote calls.

You know what it costs before we ever speak. Every build includes hosting setup, Google listing cleanup, and a site that looks right on any screen.

What people say

Don't take my word for it.

Marina took my boring website and made it custom and fun. She was so easy to work with and really understood my needs. She went above and beyond what I was expecting. I would recommend her work time and time again.

Marina killed it. I don't know a damn thing about building websites, but she made ours look incredible. The site went live and almost immediately we started hearing from new clients. Couldn't ask for a better outcome.

Marina was a true partner throughout our website build. She delivered a polished, professional site that accurately represents my business and positions us for future growth.

The person behind it

Hi, I'm Marina.

I grew up in Kauai, Hawaii, surrounded by small businesses. The kind where the owner answers the phone, does the books, helps customers, and is still the last one to lock the door at night.

Watching those businesses taught me something early: the fanciest website rarely wins. The businesses that grow are the ones that make it easy for people to understand what they do, trust them, and take the next step.

That's the approach I bring to every project. I care about clean design, but I care even more about building something that actually works for your business. A website should help you get found, earn trust, and bring in customers — not just sit online looking pretty.

I keep the studio intentionally small. By working with only a handful of clients each month, I can give each project the attention it deserves and build something that genuinely reflects the people behind the business.

  • You talk to me directly, every time
  • I write in your words — not language you'd never say out loud
  • Nothing goes live until you've approved it
  • The site is always yours — I'll help you take it anywhere

Before you ask

The questions everybody has.

What's the catch with the free draft?

There isn't one. You fill out a short form, I build a real draft for your specific business, and send it over. If you like it, we talk. If you don't, you've lost nothing but the two minutes it took to fill it in.

What happens to my current website and email?

Your existing site stays live and untouched the whole time we build. On launch day we only point the web records at the new site — the mail records stay exactly where they are. Killing a client's email is the most common agency mistake. We don't make it.

Can I edit it myself?

Not directly, and that's deliberate. Sites built for anyone to edit drift out of shape within a year. Instead you send us the change and we make it, usually the same day, included in the care plan. If you'd rather have a login, say so up front and we'll build it that way.

Who owns the site?

You do — the domain, the content, and the site itself. If you ever want to leave, we'll hand it over and help you move it. We'd rather keep you because you want to stay.

What if I don't like what you build?

Two rounds of revisions are included in every build, and nothing goes live until you've said yes. If the free draft misses completely, you walk away having spent nothing.

Do you work with businesses anywhere?

Yes — we work with small businesses everywhere. Most of the work happens remotely; location doesn't matter as long as the fit is right.

Free, no catch

Tell me about your business.

Fill out the short form below. I'll build a real draft for your business and send it over — no meeting, no commitment. Like it and we'll talk. Don't, and you've lost nothing.
