THE CURRENT RACK4 TEMPLATES · 1 FREE

Independent design practice for founders, studios and operators. Custom builds when you need something exact — Framer templates when you need it yesterday.

§ 01 — Practice

Two ways
to work together.

Most projects fall into one of two buckets. Pick whichever fits — or take the quiz and I'll tell you which one suits you. No upsells.

01 / Bespoke

Custom design
& build

End-to-end engagements: discovery, art direction, design, and a fully handed-off Framer or coded site. For founders who need their site to do something specific — and do it better than the rest.

From $1.4k3–6 weeks
02 / Templates

Framer templates
off the shelf

Production-ready, fully responsive Framer files. CMS wired, components documented, motion baked in. Buy once, remix forever. New drops regularly — and the flagship is free.

§ 02 — Shop

Six templates.
One of them is free.

The current rack — dark editorial by instinct, each one in its own palette. Every template ships responsive, CMS-wired, with a written handoff. The Obscura, the flagship, is free to remix.

§ 03 — Not sure what you need?

Take the 2-minute
fit quiz.

Eight questions on what you're shipping, your timeline, budget and vibe. At the end I'll tell you straight: template, custom build, or something else entirely.

§ 04 — Receipts

What clients
actually say.

A small selection. Most projects end with a longer note that I keep taped above my desk — these are the public-facing ones.

Got our landing live in nine days. The template was 80% of the work — the polish hour by hour with us is what made it feel ours.

I came in asking for a redesign and left with an honest answer: you don't need one yet. Bought the template, shipped it, came back six months later for the full build.

The handoff doc alone was worth the price. CMS, components, motion tokens — all named the way a real dev would name them.

We replaced an agency engagement with a Studio/fwd retainer and ship twice as fast, at a third of the cost.

Three different agency pitches, one quiz, and a 20-minute call. Studio/fwd was the only one who heard what I actually said.

Beautiful work, on time, no theatre. Will be back the second we launch product two — and the third.

§ 05 — Common questions

The things
everyone asks.

If your question isn't here, ask it in the form below — answered within one business day, usually faster.

Templates are pre-designed Framer files you customize yourself — fastest path to a live, professional site. Custom builds are bespoke, from-scratch engagements where I run discovery, art-direct, design and build to your exact requirements. Not sure? Take the quiz.
Most marketing sites land between 3 and 6 weeks. Bigger brand sites or anything with custom CMS structures, integrations or animations stretch toward 8. I share a week-by-week timeline at kickoff and you'll know where we are at any moment.
Yes. It's the flagship — a full dark editorial template for cocktail bars and speakeasies, free to remix from the Framer marketplace. If it fits your project, take it. If you want it tailored to your brand, that's what custom engagements are for.
Framer is the default — it's the fastest path to a beautiful, maintainable marketing site for most clients. I also build HTML, and Next.js when the project calls for it. Migrations from one platform to another are very welcome.
A fully responsive Framer site, components and variants documented, a Loom walkthrough. 30 days of email support.
Yes — copy direction is part of custom engagements. I won't pretend to be a brand copywriter, but I'll write a strong first pass, sharpen what you have, and partner with a writer in my network when the project warrants it.
Custom projects: 50% to start, 50% on handoff. Retainers: invoiced on the 1st of each month. Templates: paid in full at checkout on the Framer marketplace. Stripe, wire, or ACH all good for custom work.
§ 06 — Let's talk

Start something good.

Fill this out and I'll be back to you within a business day. If you'd rather take the quiz first, that works too.
