Mendly · Marquette, Michigan · A working studio

Your business deserves something unmistakably yours.

Custom websites, apps, and everyday tools for small businesses—with someone to keep them running.

Three concept businesses are on the table. Each one works.

What we build.

Not a page about your business. The thing your customers use, and a site around it.

Websites

Fast, on your own domain, built to make the phone ring or the form fill. Hours, services, reviews, maps, and the one action that matters most.

Apps

Customer apps for ordering, booking, or tracking, built for the platform they run on. Installable on iPhone and Android; App Store listings when the business needs them.

Everyday tools

Owner dashboards, queues, estimates, inventory, messages. The admin side that turns a website into a system your business runs on.

Plugs into what you already use.

Payments, point of sale, booking, and books. Every integration is built against the provider's own platform and tested in its sandbox before real money moves.

Payments
  • Stripe
  • Square
  • PayPal

Your money lands in your own account, never ours. You sign up with the provider; we connect it. Don't see yours? Ask, most have a way in.

How working together feels.

Four studio notes. No mystery, no discovery-call theater.

01

Understand your business

A conversation about how you actually work: where the calls come from, what gets written on sticky notes, what you'd stop doing tomorrow if you could.

02

Explore a working direction

You get a link to a real, clickable version of the idea, like the samples in the studio, with your name and your services. You react to something real.

03

Build and refine

We build the website, app, or tool for its actual platform. You send the personal parts from a short checklist. We swap them in and tune until it feels like yours.

04

Launch and keep improving

Your domain, your accounts, your data. Then ongoing maintenance sized to what you run: edits, updates, monitoring, a person to text.

What you receive

  • A website, an app, or both, built for its platform
  • Owner dashboard for orders, bookings, or requests
  • Your domain, hosting, and accounts in your name
  • Source files and a written handoff

What we ask from you

  • An hour to talk about how the business runs
  • Photos, logo, prices, hours, from a short checklist
  • Honest reactions to the working direction
  • A decision-maker who can say yes

How maintenance works

  • Scoped to what you run: a site, a store, a booking system
  • Edits and updates included, within a business day
  • Monitoring and backups
  • Cancel any time; everything stays yours

An upfront build cost, with ongoing maintenance based on what your business needs. We'll put real numbers on it after we understand the work.

What would make running your business easier?

Tell us a little and we'll come back with a working direction, not a slide deck. A sentence is fine. The rest of the form is optional.
