Ember & Oak.
A neighborhood wood-fire restaurant that refuses to look like a menu PDF — one hearth, candle-lit atmosphere, a menu you can feel, and a reservation flow that takes four taps.
I design and build websites for businesses that want to stand out and bring in customers, not blend in with every other site on the internet.
Fig. 02 — the work itself
Custom design for your brand, your customers, and your goals. No templates, no themes, nothing off a shelf.
Hand-built, fast, and solid on every device. The craft you see is backed by engineering you don't.
The interactions people remember, used with restraint, so your site feels alive without getting in the way of business.
Fig. 03 — the copy, edited
Most business websites look the same because they come from the same kits. Same templates, same layouts, same everything.
Customers can't tell those businesses apart. Yours will be different. Yours won't have that problem.
I take on a few projects at a time and build each site by hand: the design, the code, the details. It costs more than a template and less than an agency, and it does the one thing both usually miss. People remember you.

A small law firm on warm paper instead of corporate blue — quiet authority, plain-spoken practice areas, and a consultation flow that answers in writing within a day.
