About · Frontage Studio

One person. Columbus. Hand-coded.

Frontage Studio is a one-person web studio built on a simple idea: a small business shouldn't have to rent its own website, or chase down a stranger to change its hours. You get a site you own outright — and someone who keeps the lights on after launch.

01 — The story

Why this exists.

I started Frontage Studio after watching too many local businesses get a raw deal online — paying monthly fees for a website they didn't own, sitting on a page builder that loaded slow, or stuck with a "web guy" who stopped answering the day the invoice cleared.

The name says the whole idea. Your frontage is the face your business shows the street — the window people judge before they ever walk in. Today that window is Google and your website. My job is to make sure what people see there makes them trust you, not scroll past you.

So I hand-code every site myself. No page builders, no bloat, no template a hundred other shops are using. You own it outright — your domain, your hosting, your name on it. And I stick around to keep it accurate on Google, because a site that was right in March is quietly wrong by August if nobody's watching.

That's the whole philosophy: build it once, keep it lit.

02 — How it works

From "let's talk" to live.

Step 1

Free audit

I look up your business like a customer would and send you exactly what's wrong. No charge.

Step 2

We scope it

We pick the build that fits where you are, and agree on the price up front — no surprises.

Step 3

Preview link

I build it and send you a link. You see the real thing and approve it before it goes live.

Step 4

Live & lit

It launches on your own domain. From there, the optional care plan keeps it accurate.

03 — What I won't do

The rules I run on.

No rent traps

I'll never build you a site you have to keep paying a platform to keep alive. One-time build, yours to keep.

No vanishing

You deal with me directly and I answer. If something breaks, you're not filing a ticket into the void.

No fake numbers

Prices are on the site. Scope is agreed before I start. You always know what you're paying for.
