Premium websites, designed in Sonoma County. We take tired, outdated sites and make them look like the business behind them.
Featured concept
The Kelso Institute
A homepage concept that makes Louis Kelso’s ideas about broad capital ownership clear to newcomers, and keeps his books free and easy to find.
Kelso’s major books, free to download in four languages
From one newspaper buyout in 1956 to national policy
The goal
Make Kelso’s ideas easy to grasp in a few minutes, show why they matter in an age of AI, and keep the full library one click away.
What we built
A homepage with the idea in brief, starting paths for different visitors, a “Why now” section on AI, the free library front and center and a timeline from 1956 to 1990.
Easy to keep up
Built in Framer so a small team can add books, news and translations without a developer.
Services
Three ways to work together.
Homepage Refresh
A new first impression. We redesign your homepage and carry the new look into your existing pages.

Domain and email moved, then a walkthrough so you can edit.
Kind words
“Our old site looked like it was built in 2012. Now new clients tell us the website is why they called, and we can update it ourselves.”
