So should your website.
Hi, I’m J. I’m building Studio J for the independent businesses that make Houston work: neighborhood restaurants, skilled trades, local practices, and the people behind them.
We’ll shape your website around your services, your customers, and the way you work. You choose a direction. I help turn it into a site that feels like you.

A few things you might be wondering.
What is included in every package?
One location, customization of a collection design, your supplied branding and content, mobile layouts, accessible controls, image optimization, basic search setup, a sitemap, basic analytics, one contact form, domain connection, launch, and handoff. You receive two consolidated revision rounds within the agreed scope, working with one decision-maker, plus 30 days of corrections for defects in the delivered work.
Can I keep my booking software?
Usually. A simple button linking to an already functioning booking page is included. The $350 existing-provider integration adds a supported embed or booking flow, desktop and mobile testing, and handoff. New provider setup is $650 instead, for one location, up to ten services and five staff calendars. We confirm compatibility and required provider plans before your deposit; historical data migration is separate.
Does a gift-card button cost extra?
A simple link to your ready-to-use gift-card page is included. The $250 gift-card add-on covers configuring one provider’s supported offer, connecting its purchase experience, and testing it. Membership and package setup is $450 for up to three plans in one compatible provider. Billing and treatment entitlements must both support your intended offer.
Can I add features specific to my business?
Yes. The configurator shows optional add-ons and their setup prices for your business type, including estimate-request forms with relevant project fields, manually added property listings, and a supported connection to an existing online-ordering provider. Each option has a defined setup scope. Choose only what you need; provider subscriptions, transaction fees, and usage charges remain separate. We confirm compatibility before your deposit.
What if I need more pages or something custom?
An additional standard page is $350 using the selected design and up to 500 words of supplied content. Copywriting and translated versions cost extra. Custom ordering carts, POS synchronization, delivery operations, live inventory, dispatch systems, shop-management integrations, MLS/IDX and live property feeds, secure client portals, custom APIs, migrations, and multiple locations require a reviewed custom quote. Self-managed handoff includes your site files and hosting setup; a content editor is separately scoped.
Do I pay when I submit a request?
No. We review the scope, compatibility, price, and schedule first. After approval, a 50% build deposit starts the work. The remaining balance is due after you accept the completed website and before launch. Optional monthly care begins at launch.
Are hosting, domain, and booking fees included?
Managed website hosting is included with Studio Care and Care Plus. Self-managed clients pay for their own hosting. Domain registration, scheduling subscriptions, payment processing, messaging usage, translation services, and applicable taxes are separate unless expressly included in your confirmed quote. Your domain, booking, and payment accounts stay in your name.
Which businesses do you build for?
Explore concepts for spas, restaurants, general contractors, plumbers, HVAC teams, electricians, auto repair shops, auto dealerships, auto parts and accessories businesses, real estate businesses, law firms, tax services, and insurance businesses. The collection provides a design starting point; your content and business systems are scoped with you. Every example shown here is fictional.
