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.
Storefront Studio started with a simple frustration: most local businesses end up with one of two bad websites. Either they pay too much for a generic agency build that misses the point of their business, or they wrestle with a template builder that locks them into clunky design, slow load times, and a $30/month subscription forever.
We sit between the two. Hand-built sites with the care of an agency, priced for a real local business, and owned outright by the client. No subscriptions. No lock-in. No template marketplace. Just a real site that does its job.
A website isn't a nice-to-have anymore. For local businesses, it's where most customers form their first impression, decide if they trust you, and choose whether to walk through the door.

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.
