01 — Two doors

One studio, two kinds of work.

For people who make things

Websites for makers

A home for your work that you own outright, update yourself, and never lose to a platform changing its mind.

  • Portfolio, shop, commissions, enquiries
  • A back office you can actually use
  • Stripe payments, if you want them
  • Two to four weeks, start to launch
See what yours could look like
For small businesses

Software, end to end

Front end, back end, infrastructure, hosting. Built and maintained by the person who designed it.

  • AI concierge for enquiries and bookings
  • Automations that remove a job
  • Internal tools and dashboards
  • Hosted, monitored, maintained

02 — Templates

Pick a look. It changes here, live.

Every site we build is driven by one token file. Swap the tokens, the whole thing changes — which is why a rebuild costs £400 and not £4,000.

Four things, hung properly.

04 — Care

Careening — hauling a ship onto its side to scrape off the barnacles and re-caulk the seams.

Unglamorous, routine, and the only reason a wooden ship lasts a decade instead of two years. That’s what the monthly fee is. A site nobody maintains rots quietly — broken forms, expired certificates, a contact page that stopped emailing anyone eight months ago.

Portfolio + ShopEverything above, plus card checkout, postage options and an orders page£550 + £85/mo
Bug fixesAnything broken, for as long as you’re with us. Content changes you do yourselfFree

The monthly is the careening plan: hosting, domain, backups, security patches, small changes and fixes. Domain included up to £40. Cancel with a month's notice and you keep the site, the domain and the database.

05 — The studio

Who you’d be working with.

A carrack was the cargo ship of the Age of Exploration — built for capacity and seaworthiness rather than speed, with two of its four decks given over entirely to hold.

Its whole job was carrying other people’s valuable goods safely across an ocean. That’s the job here too. You make the work; we make sure it gets somewhere it can be seen, and that it stays there.

Carrack Studios is one person in Cornwall. You talk to the person who builds the thing — no account manager, no handover, no ticket queue. It also means a handful of projects at a time rather than a pipeline of them.
