A simple process, start to launch.

01

Listen

What the business does, who it's for, and where the current site gets in the way. I take real notes.

~ 1 week
02

Sketch

Wireframes and directions first. You steer the thinking before anything gets locked in.

~ 2 weeks
03

Build

Real development on the platform that fits. You see it come together in stages.

3–6 weeks
04

Launch

Go-live, then ongoing support if you want it. The work doesn't end at launch.

Day one & onward

Twenty-plus years. Still curious.

I'm Jason Powell.

I started designing for the web in 2001, back when "responsive" wasn't a word and e-commerce barely existed. I've shipped work for local shops, regional businesses, and the kind of financial institutions that run on systems I helped build.

Just clean work, on time, from someone who answers the phone.

Now I work with small businesses directly because that's where design actually moves the needle. A sharper site, working email, a brand documented well enough to scale. No committee, no agency overhead, no junior account person between you and the work.
