What we do, and do well.

01

Web Design

Editorial, considered interfaces with a point of view. We design for attention and for outcomes, not for a template gallery.

  • Art direction & UI
  • Design systems
  • Interactive prototypes
02

Web Development

Fast, resilient front-ends built the modern way. Clean code, accessible by default, easy for your team to run.

  • Next.js & React builds
  • CMS integration
  • Motion & interaction
03

Brand Identity

The visual language that makes a site feel inevitable. Type, colour and tone that hold up everywhere, not just the homepage.

  • Logo & wordmark
  • Typography systems
  • Brand guidelines
04

SEO & Performance

Beautiful is table stakes. We ship sites that load instantly and get found, with the metrics to prove it.

  • Core Web Vitals
  • Technical SEO
  • Analytics & tracking
05

Care & Support

We don't disappear at launch. Ongoing partnership to iterate, measure and keep everything sharp.

  • Retainers
  • Iterative improvements
  • Priority support
Live

This page. Measured in your browser. Right now.

Core Web Vitals captured live as you read. Not a screenshot, not an average — the page you are on.

LCP

CLS

INP

FCP

TTFB

Safari does not expose LCP, CLS or INP; Firefox exposes LCP only. Where a metric says “not measurable here”, your browser has no API for it.

Proof, not promises.

How the work gets made.

01
  • Discover
  • Design
  • Build
  • Launch & Grow
Phase 01

Discover

We start with your business, not your homepage. Goals, audience, constraints — the things that decide whether a site works.

  • Kickoff workshop
  • Audience & goals
  • Content audit
Phase 02

Design

Art direction first, then interfaces. We design in the browser early so what you approve is what you get.

  • Art direction
  • UI design
  • Prototypes
Phase 03

Build

Senior hands on the keyboard. Fast, accessible, maintainable front-ends with motion that means something.

  • Front-end build
  • CMS & integrations
  • QA & accessibility
Phase 04

Launch & Grow

We ship carefully and stay close. Measure, iterate, and keep the site earning long after go-live.

  • Launch plan
  • Analytics
  • Ongoing iteration
(05)About

Studio 48 is a boutique web design studio. Small on purpose — you work directly with the people doing the work, senior from first call to final ship.

Built, not assembled

Every site is designed and coded for you — no themes, no page-builder bloat, no site that looks like ten others in your town.

Design that converts

Beauty and results aren't a trade-off. We refuse to choose between them.

No black boxes

Clear process, honest timelines, and a site your team can actually run.
