Websites for creative spaces and local businesses
I build fast, simple websites for studios, shops and local businesses: the kind that load instantly, look right on a phone, and make it easy for someone to book you or call you. Send me what you have, and I'll show you what yours could look like, free.

When someone needs a studio, a tattoo artist, a photographer or a plumber, they pull out their phone and search. If you have no website, they land on a competitor. If your site is slow or broken on a phone, they leave before they ever see your number.
It isn't about looking fancy. It's about being the business that's easy to find, easy to trust, and one tap to call. Most local sites quietly fail at exactly that.
What you get
- Built for phones first
- Most of your customers are searching on their phone. Your site will look right and load fast on every one of them.
- Fast enough to keep them
- Slow sites lose people before the page even loads. Yours will open instantly, so nobody bounces to a competitor.
- One tap to call you
- A big, obvious call button on every screen. The whole point is turning a visitor into a phone call.
- Your reviews up front
- Your best Google reviews, right where new customers see them. Social proof does the selling for you.
- Ready to be found
- Set up so Google understands who you are, what you do, and where you are. Clean, indexable, honest.
- Live in about a week
- No months-long project. Send me what you have, and most sites go live within a week of scoping.
Example
A one-page site for a recording studio: rates up front, how a session works, and booking from any screen. The studio is made up; the site is real. Open it on your phone.
Northbound Sound, an example site ↗How it works
You never pay to find out if it's worth it. The mockup comes first.
- 1.
Send me what you've got.
Your business name, your current site if you have one, and roughly what you want. A text or a two-line email is plenty.
- 2.
I make a free mockup.
I build a real preview of what your new site could look like, at no cost. You see it before you decide anything.
- 3.
We scope it in a conversation.
If you like it, we talk through what you need and I give you one clear price. No packages, no upsells.
- 4.
Your site goes live.
I build it, connect your domain, and put it online. Most sites are live within about a week.
Who builds it
Me, directly. I'm Spencer Curnow. I design and build real products, including two iOS apps and the design work for an independent magazine. You work with the person building your site, not an agency middleman.

- How much does it cost?
- It depends on what you need, so I quote one number per project once I've seen it. The mockup is free either way, so there's no cost to find out.
- I already have a website. Can you just fix it?
- Usually I rebuild it, which ends up faster and cleaner than patching an old site. If yours is close, I'll tell you honestly that it isn't worth a rebuild.
- Do I need to know anything technical?
- No. You tell me about your business, I handle the domain, hosting, and every technical piece. You just approve how it looks.
- What if I don't have a logo or photos?
- That's fine. I can design around clean type and your Google reviews, and we can add photos whenever you have them.
