Storefront Studio designs and builds custom websites for the businesses that make a neighborhood feel like home — the cafes, the trades, the shops, and the family restaurants. We do the work the big agencies won't touch and the template builders can't pull off.
We started Storefront Studio because we kept seeing the same thing happen to good local businesses. They'd either get talked into a pricey agency site that totally missed what made the place special, or they'd end up fighting with one of those drag-and-drop builders — stuck with a clunky site, slow load times, and a subscription bill that just keeps coming. Neither one felt right.
So we built something in the middle. Real, hand-crafted sites — the kind you'd expect from an agency — but priced so a local business can actually afford them, and owned outright when we're done. No subscriptions hanging over your head. No template you'll outgrow. Just a site that fits your business, and a friendly studio you can call when you need a hand.

Most calls a small business gets are simple: "What time are you open?" "Do you have parking?" "Is this gluten-free?" "Do you take reservations?" Every one of those calls is a customer who wanted information at the moment they were ready to spend money — and didn't get an answer fast enough.
Storefront Studio installs and trains AI chatbots that live in the corner of your website, ready to answer questions instantly, even at 2 AM. They're trained on your menu, hours, services, and policies — so they give the right answer, every time, in your voice.
