Autumn Tasting · 14 Courses
A mountain kitchen, rooted in season.

Chef Ines Varga cooks what the valley gives — hand-foraged, woodfired, served by candlelight from the open hearth at 1,840 metres.

The slow return of the handwritten letter.

A year spent writing only on paper — and what it returned to the hands, the pace, the page.

We think of the letter as obsolete; the paper as nostalgia. But a practice kept quiet has a way of outlasting the noise around it. Each morning, ink. Each evening, a folded page walked to the box at the corner — where the world is slower by design, and arrives all the same.

Why M81

Your site should make you money.

Most websites just sit there looking pretty. Yours will sell for you, 24 hours a day.

Opens in under a second.

They won't wait. They'll call someone else.

Most people give up on a website that takes more than three seconds to load. Yours is up before they can change their mind — so they stay, and they call you.

Nobody else has your site.

Your competitors all bought the same template. Yours gets drawn from a blank page, for you.

Reviews

What clients said without being asked.

Three new kitchen remodel jobs in the first month it went live. Easily the best money I've ever spent on my business.

Ethan was patient. I'm not a tech person and he never made me feel dumb. 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.

After launch

I don’t disappear after launch.

Two things come after launch. One keeps your site running. The other pays you.

$99/ monthHow most clients run it

Keep it running, without lifting a finger.

Cancel anytime, no contract. Opt out and you’ll need to arrange your own hosting — most clients would rather I just handle it.

  • I keep it online, fast and safe — you never have to think about it
  • An hour of changes every month — text, photos, whatever you need
  • Text me and I’m on it, same day
  • No new contract needed for small changes
Not included: new pages, new features, or full redesigns — those are quoted separately.
Month-to-month No auto-renew traps Cancel in one click
Referral program

Earn 10% cash for every client you send.

Your portal comes with a link. Send it to anyone. If they buy a site, I send you 10% of what they paid — real cash, not store credit.

Common questions

What people usually ask first.

Why is this cheaper than an agency?
Because it's just me. No account managers, no sales team, no office rent to cover. My costs are near zero and I pass that straight to you. You get the same quality an agency sells you — you just don't pay for their overhead.
How can you really build it in 14 days?
No meetings, no committee, nobody to wait on. The day you tell me what you need, I start building. I've done this plenty of times, so there are no surprises left. 95% of sites go live between day 7 and day 14.
What if I hate it?
Every package includes two rounds of changes — you point at what you don't like, right on the design, in your portal. If it's still not right after that, I give you the second half of your money back. I've never had to.
Do I have to write anything or take photos?
No. Tell me about your business and I write every word for you. No photos? I'll find up to 40 professional ones, included in the price. Already have a logo and pictures? Even better — send them over and I'll use them.
Is there a monthly fee? Who keeps it online?
You own the site outright — the code is yours the day I hand it over. Running it is $99/month: I keep it online, fast and safe, and you get an hour of changes thrown in. That's how almost everyone does it. Don't want to? Take your files and host them yourself, or hire anyone you like. You're never locked in — but then keeping it online is on you.
Is the referral program really cash, not credit?
Yes — real money, straight to you. When someone uses your link and pays their first invoice, you get 10% of their project by direct deposit or check, your pick. No limit, no expiry date. Send me three and you've paid for your own site.
Do you take on ongoing work?
Sometimes, for the $99 clients. But the deal is simple: I build it, I hand it over, I get out of your way. Most clients don't need me again for a year or two. That's on purpose.
The studio

You'll talk directly to the person writing your code. No project managers. No outsourced juniors. No runaround.

I don't subcontract to overseas teams, and I don't hand your account to a salesperson. Your project gets my full attention from first brief to final handover. If we ship it, I made it.

You don't have to write copy, source photos, or learn any tools. Tell me about your business — I handle the rest.
