SERVICES · M81 STUDIO
what i build.
Every site here is drawn from a blank page for one business, built by hand, and then kept running by the person who built it. This is the full list of what the studio takes on.
MARKETING WEBSITES
The core of the studio: sites for service businesses, contractors, and local trades that need the phone to ring. Pages are written around the jobs you actually want, with your service area, your proof, and a quote form that lands in your inbox in seconds. Roofers, plumbers, remodelers, detailers, landscapers, and cleaners all fit this shape.
ONLINE STORES
Custom Shopify storefronts, built as a theme from the ground up rather than a skin stretched over a bought one. You keep the Shopify admin you already know for products, inventory, and orders, and you get a storefront nobody else is selling from. Payments, shipping rates, and tax settings are wired up before launch.
BOOKING SYSTEMS
Appointments, consultations, and reservations taken on the site instead of through voicemail. Booking sits inside your site rather than handing people off to a third-party page wearing someone else’s branding, and the setup follows the hours and availability you actually keep. It suits salons, clinics, studios, trainers, and anyone who sells time.
PORTFOLIO SITES
For designers, photographers, and studios whose work has to carry the page on its own. Images stay sharp and still open fast, the layout stays quiet enough to let them read, and case studies, client lists, and press pages sit in the same build. Adding a new project is one message to me, not an afternoon in a page builder.
LANDING PAGES
A single page built for one campaign, one offer, or one audience, with nothing on it competing for the click. Worth it when you are running ads, opening a location, or testing a new service before you commit a whole site to it. These can stand alone or live on your existing domain, and because there is only one job on the page, it is the quickest thing in this list to get in front of people.
BRAND REFRESHES
If you already have a site, I do not patch it. The new one is drawn from scratch, the content worth keeping moves across, and your domain points at it only once the new site is finished, so nothing goes dark during the switch. Old addresses redirect to the new pages so the search position you have built up follows you over.
CUSTOM WEB APPS
Software rather than pages: dashboards, internal tools, member areas, and products with real logic behind them. I build and run my own, including Slipstream, a live telemetry product, PaleoBuddy, a field research app, and BaseCamp, an operations platform. If you have an idea that needs to do something instead of just say something, this is the category it lands in.
PRIVATE BUILDS
Larger or confidential work sits outside the monthly plans: multi-location rollouts, white-label projects for agencies, and anything covered by an NDA. Scope, timeline, and price are set individually before any work begins.
Setup is $495. Up to 5 pages is $149/mo, up to 10 pages is $249/mo, month to month, cancel anytime. Online stores, custom apps, and private builds are scoped and quoted per build.
