How we work

Most studios start with a discovery call. We start with a website. Most people can't describe what they want until they see what's possible.

01

Design first, always.

We start with the actual work. A full site built around your business, your space, and your customers.

02

You shape it.

Almost everyone refines something. Having a real site in front of you makes the feedback specific and fast.

03

We ship in five to seven days.

From yes to live. The code is yours. The hosting is yours. We don't bill you next month.

From our clients

“I had a half-finished Squarespace page I'd been sitting on for a year. They sent me a real site out of nowhere. I said yes.”

Domino

Musician, Portland, OR

“The site they built matched what was in my head better than what I would've described. We barely changed anything.”

RU

World-Class Martial Artist

“Three other studios wanted a discovery call and a deposit just to start talking. Pilcrow just built it.”

Why Pilcrow

We're a boutique studio. Every site is built by hand, around the specific business. Not a template. Not a system.

Most shops are running a site they built fast, meant to redo, and never got around to. The cost isn't the redesign. It's the customers who landed on it and left. We close that gap in five days, for less than what a bad site costs you in a slow month.

We're a small studio. We make websites the way editors make paragraphs. One decision at a time, with the reader in mind. The judgment is ours. The code is yours.

FAQ

Common questions.

Send us a message. We'll look at your business and current online presence, then reach out with what we'd recommend. Direct conversation, nothing more.

Three tiers. Standard at $1,500 for a clean, custom site. Expanded at $3,000 for more pages and custom features. Buyout at $5,000 for full ownership, SEO setup, and three months of updates. Every build is half upfront, half on delivery. Ongoing retainer starts at $3,500 with $750 per month after that.

We build a full working version of your site and share the link. That gives both of us something real to react to, not a mockup or a wireframe. Almost everyone refines something at this stage, and that's the point.

$20 per month if you want us to manage it. Free if you take the code and run it yourself. Either way, the code is yours.

Five to seven days from yes to live. From first conversation to a finished site in under two weeks.

One round of revisions is included in every build. Additional rounds are $150 each. For ongoing monthly changes, the retainer plan covers unlimited small edits for $750 per month, with a two-month minimum.
