What we've built.

Real clients and real sites. No spec mockups, no borrowed names.

Legacy Detail ATX · Mobile auto detailing, Austin

A detailing business that takes its own bookings.

A one-van mobile detailer who brings his own water and power to the customer's driveway. The site prices every job by vehicle size, sells the maintenance memberships, and takes a booking from a phone in five taps — no third-party widget bolted on the side.

  • DeliveredWebsite, five-step booking flow, membership pricing, member area
  • Built forPhones first. That's where his customers are when they decide to book.
  • Runs onNo CMS and no plugins to keep patched. A small backend holds the booking calendar so no two customers can book the same slot.

Hover the phone, or the two buttons on the site. Each one is a link.

What a brand identity is

One mark, one palette, two typefaces, a few rules.

That's the whole kit, and it has to hold up everywhere your name goes. Here's ours on six places a brand lands first. Then try another palette and watch one choice carry through all of them.

Try a palette: Cornerpost

We choose colors for where they'll actually live: a sun-faded truck door, a phone in bright light, a card in a wallet. Every pair gets a contrast check.

  • Navy#1b3a63
  • Pitch#0a0f18
  • Chalk#f3f2ee
  • Stone#6b7482
  • AaBricolage Grotesque, for headlines
  • AaInter, for everything else

Why "Cornerpost": a cornerpost is the first post in a fence line. It's set deepest and braced hardest, and everything else squares to it. That's what a brand and a website are for a business. Get them right and the rest lines up.

Two Cornerpost business cards on a table: the navy front with the corner bracket and wordmark, and the white back with the studio's details and a QR code. Front Back Tap a card to pick it up
What you get with a brand identity
  • Logo suiteA main logo, a stacked version, and a small mark that still reads at app-icon size.
  • Color paletteThree to five colors, with codes for screens and for print, and every pairing checked for contrast.
  • Type pairingA headline face and a text face, with sizes that hold up on a phone.
  • Usage guideA short guide with the do's and don'ts, so a sign shop or a new hire gets it right without calling you.
  • Put to workBusiness card layout, social profile image, email signature, app icon and favicon, depending on the package.
  • Files you ownVector, print and web files, named and organized. Yours to keep, with nothing to renew.
How a brand project runs
  1. ListenA conversation about who you serve and who you're up against. We look at your market before we draw anything.
  2. Two or three directionsEach one shown on real things, like a card, a truck door and a phone, so you're judging how it works, not just how it looks.
  3. Refine and hand offWe refine the one you pick, test it tiny, huge and in one color, then hand over the files and the guide.

Brand identity runs $400–1,800, quoted as one fixed number. Start a brand project

What it costs

Ranges, not a runaround.

Nearly every studio in this city hides behind a contact form. That wastes a week of your time to find out you're not a fit. Here's the honest shape of it.

Basic site Up to 5 pages$1,500–2,500
Intricate site 6 to 14 pages$2,500–5,000
Advanced site 15+ pages, or custom$5,000–9,000
Brand identity$400–1,800
Care plan — Essentials$95–150/mo
Care plan — Managed$250–400/mo

Photos: we use the photos you give us — how many and of what, we go over at the design meeting. We don't take photos ourselves. Not included: e-commerce and third-party licenses like fonts or stock. If we write your copy, it's priced into the quote. Anything else a project needs, we quote separately before starting, never after.

Domain and hosting: Your domain is $12–20 a year, in your own account. Hosting is on our server, covered by the care plan.

Ownership: On final payment the site, the words and the files are yours. If you ever leave, you take a full copy with you. Nothing is held hostage.

What moves the number

More pages means more to plan, design, write and test. It's the most direct lever there is.

If you have your words and photos ready, you're at the bottom of the range. If we write every page for you, that's real work and it's priced in.

Connecting your site to a CRM, a booking system, payments, or scheduling software is quoted on top — before starting, never after (booking, payments and logins are included on Advanced).

Size your site

Intricate site$2,500–5,000

7 pages  ·  5–8 weeks

    Room for what people check before they call: your work, reviews, pricing, and answers to the questions you hear every week. With your words and photos ready, you’re near the bottom of the range.

    One fixed number before anything starts. Never an hourly meter, never a surprise at the end.

    03  /  How it works

    Four steps, about six weeks.

    No mystery, no black box. You'll know what's happening and what we need from you at every point.

    01

    A call

    Half an hour. We ask what's not working and who you're actually trying to reach. Free, and there's no pitch at the end.

    02

    A fixed quote

    One number and a written scope, inside a day. Half up front to hold the schedule.

    03

    Design and build

    You see the home page built for real in week two and pick a direction. Two rounds of changes there, and two more on the finished site.

    04

    Launch

    Your domain stays in your name and the site goes live on our server. We walk your team through it and stay on for thirty days, then the care plan keeps it running.

    04  /  Get started

    Send us your website and tell us what's wrong with it.

    We'll tell you honestly whether it needs rebuilding or just needs fixing. If it's the second one, we'll say so — that answer is free, and it costs us a project sometimes.
