what we do & how we work

Brand, web and product. No handoffs.

Everything is built directly by Jess and Nelson. Fixed scope, written price, and honest timelines with the two senior partners on every call and commit.

core services

fixed scope · transparent pricing

Brand identity

Naming, marks, type and colour, and a guideline document your team can actually follow.

Web development

Design and build in one pass, handed over with a CMS you own and training to run it.

SEO & AEO

Getting found by search engines and by the answer engines people now ask instead. Technical audits, structured data, and content built to be cited.

iOS & Android

Product design through store launch. We have shipped on both stores, under our own name.

questions people actually ask

How do you scope and structure projects?

Every project is scoped individually around your goals, timeline, and deliverables. After an initial discovery call, we provide a transparent, fixed proposal so expectations and milestones are clear before we start.

Do we own the site when you're done?

Yes. The project transfers to your account, you get the design files, and we train your team to edit it. Most clients then keep us on for ongoing design and development support.

Can you work with clients outside San Diego?

Most of our clients are remote. We are on Pacific time and run projects over calls and shared documents.

Why hire two people instead of an agency?

Because the two senior people who pitch you are the two who do the work. Nothing gets handed to a junior after the kickoff call.
