Web design. Photography. Video. Full-stack developers with a filmmaker's eye. Describe the functionality your business needs; we handle the rest - the build, the pictures, the polish. What you get is a beautiful site that brings in work, even while you sleep.
Watch us take a site apart
Ten checks. We ran them on ourselves first.
Site audit rubric v0.1 - forge_research 62f957e6
Every site we look at gets the same ten checks - the things that decide whether a website earns its keep or just exists. Here they are, run against this site, with the answers we actually got.
These are this site’s own results, measured 2026-09-11: 8 of 10 checks passed. What we still fail, we fail in public: reviews shown on the site itself, because we will not print a testimonial we were not given. One check we cannot run from a build server at all, so it is marked not measurable rather than guessed. That is the same report you would get, in the same words.
What should your site do?
Pick the jobs. The design comes after.
This is how every build starts: not with colours, with a list of the things the site has to do for you. Switch them on and watch a page pick them up.
Pick the ones you actually need. That list is the brief - everything else follows from it.
The work
7 sites we built. Scroll them.
Every frame is the live site, not a screenshot of it.
7 live sites. Open one in the frame and scroll it - it is the real thing, served from its own domain, not a picture of it.

Open live ↗Price
Every site is quoted for the job it has to do.
We give you a price once we understand your business and what the site needs to do - that conversation is free. Our customers typically invest between $2,000 and $45,000. Care and maintenance plans are available afterwards.
- The free part: we look at what you have now and tell you what we would change.
- The brief: a plain-language list of what your new site will actually do.
- The quote: one number for the build, scoped to that brief, before you commit.
- Afterwards: a care plan so the site does not become the 2004 page we replaced.
Why us
Three things nobody else within fifty miles is offering.
We shoot it ourselves
David and Blonnie are professional photographers and filmmakers. Every build can include original photography and a short film of you, your crew and your place. No stock. No template shop nearby can say that.
Nothing gets forgotten
We built our own tools to keep every project on track - every check, every follow-up, every promise, logged and chased. That’s how a studio this small stays this thorough, and why your project doesn’t go quiet over a weekend.
We drive to you
We work within 75 miles of North East - Cecil and Harford County, Newark and Bear, Oxford and West Grove. We would rather stand in your shop than email you a form.

Almost every small business site is built on pictures of people who do not work there. Yours will not be.
We come out with cameras, we shoot your team and your place and the work actually happening, and the site gets built around that. It is the part nobody else within fifty miles is offering, and it is the part that makes the site look like you.
Start here
Tell us what your site should do.
Send us the business and one line about what you wish the site did. We will look at what you have now, run it through our ten checks, and come back with what we would change and what it would cost. No charge for that part.
