Website & app design and development

Build something new.
Make something better.

I help businesses launch websites, turn app ideas into working products, and improve the digital experiences they already have.

01 / WEBSITES

A website built
for your business.

Show people what you do, why it matters, and how to work with you. I plan, design, and build a website that makes the next step clear.

  • Page planning & content guidance
  • Custom design for desktop & mobile
  • Development, contact forms & launch
Discuss your website ↗
02 / APPS & DIGITAL PRODUCTS

Your app idea.
A working product.

Turn an idea into something people can use. I help define the first version, design how it works, and build it with you.

  • Feature planning & a clear project scope
  • User flows, interface design & prototypes
  • App development & launch preparation
Discuss your app idea ↗
03 / REDESIGNS & IMPROVEMENTS

A better version
of what you have.

Have a website or app that feels dated, confusing, or hard to use? I help identify what needs to change, then redesign and improve it.

  • A review of what works & what gets in the way
  • Clearer navigation, content & visual design
  • Targeted updates or a complete rebuild

a good conversation.

You bring the business context. I bring the design and build experience. We make the important decisions together.

01

Find the focus.

Talk through your goals, audience, and what’s getting in the way. Define a useful scope before the work begins.

Shape the experience.

Turn the direction into structure and design. Review tangible work together and refine the details that matter.

03

Build it. Put it to work.

Develop, check, and prepare for launch. Agree on the handoff and any ongoing support your project needs.

The person behind the studio

Senior experience.
Direct collaboration.

A small studio with an experienced partner at the center.

My work has taken me from running a freelance business to designing products alongside startup teams, including HipChat, Bithoop, and Navitome. Today, I bring that experience to building websites and apps.

You’ll work directly with me, Ben Brunt, from the first conversation through launch. That means clear communication, thoughtful decisions, and someone who understands both the design and the build.

Before we get started

A few good
questions.

Can we start if my idea is still rough?

Yes. A first conversation can help clarify who it’s for, what it needs to do, and what a useful first version might look like.

Can you improve an existing website or app?

Yes. We can look at what you have, identify what’s working, and decide whether focused improvements or a broader rebuild makes sense.

How do pricing and timelines work?

They depend on the scope and complexity. After discussing your goals, I’ll outline the proposed work, timing, and cost so you can make an informed decision.

Who will I work with?

You’ll work directly with Ben Brunt on the direction, design, and development of your project.
