M81 is a one-person studio in Malibu, California. Custom websites for small businesses, live in under a week. If a mockup of your business brought you here, this is where it was made.
i build it.i run it.
01 · WORK
built by hand, live right now.
Every site below is live right now, and the business behind each one is mine. My own money rides on this work.
02 · WHY
your site should make you money.
A site that just sits there is a cost. This is the other kind.
LOADS FIRST
Opens in under a second, before anyone thinks about leaving for a competitor.
GETS FOUND
Structured so Google can read it and local customers can find it.
READ BY AI
People ask AI for recommendations now. AI picks the sites it can read, and most sites it can’t. Yours, it can.
CONVERTS
Every headline and button is tuned to turn a visit into a call, a quote, or a booking.
NO TEMPLATES
Drawn from a blank page for your business, so you never look like your competitor.
03 · PRICING
flat monthly. everything handled.
Design and build up front, then one flat monthly and the site stays my job. Send edits by text, email, or the portal. Fourteen days after launch, anything you want different, I fix.
THE LANDMARK
$149/mo
For a business that needs a sharp site and someone to keep it that way.
THE MONOPOLY
$249/mo
Room for menus, galleries, service areas, whatever the work requires.
Month to month. E-commerce is scoped and quoted per build.
04 · ABOUT
one person, on purpose.
I’m Ethan Udall. I’ve been building websites for more than ten years, and I studied design at Aalto University in Finland before leaving to build instead. No account manager, no ticket queue. Sites I ship score 99/100 on Google’s speed test, and when you message about a change, the person who answers is the person who built your site.
Three new kitchen remodel jobs in the first month it went live. Easily the best money I’ve ever spent on my business.
The final site blew me away. Clients actually compliment it now.
I used to be embarrassed handing someone my business card. Now I want them to look. Night and day.
05 · QUESTIONS
Do we ever need to get on a call?
No. Nothing in the process needs one. Calls happen only if you ask for one.
What if I already have a website?
I build the new site from scratch, then point your domain at it. You keep the domain and your content.
What does the monthly actually cover?
Hosting, upkeep, and any content or design change you ask for. There is no per-change fee.
What happens if I cancel?
Your domain, your content, and your photos are yours, and they go with you. Cancel any month by email or in the portal, and the site stays live through the month you have paid for. If you would rather own the site outright, ask me about a buy-out.
06 · START
tell me about your business.
Two minutes of questions. I come back with a plan and a free mockup of your site.
