You outgrew the site you built in a weekend.

Halverton Studio is an independent team in Portland, Oregon. We build brand systems, websites and campaign work for companies whose first site no longer matches what they sell.

Most clients arrive with the same problem: the product moved on and the website did not. We fix the story first, then the pages.

What we do

Six things, done properly, by the same small team from kickoff to handover.

Brand systems

Naming, wordmark, colour, type and a written voice guide your whole team can follow without asking us first.

Website design and build

Structure, copy, design and front-end build. We hand over source files, not access to a locked editor.

Content and copywriting

Positioning workshops, a message hierarchy, then the actual sentences that sit on the actual pages.

Campaign work

Landing pages, ad concepts and email sequences built around one offer at a time instead of everything at once.

Design systems for product teams

Reusable components, spacing and type scales, and documentation your engineers can build from without a meeting.

Monthly retainer

A fixed block of studio hours every month for the work that never really finishes.

Why clients stay

One team, start to finish

The people in the kickoff call are the people doing the work. Nothing is passed to a subcontractor you never meet.

You own everything

Source files, licensed fonts, the domain, the analytics account. We hand over keys, not permissions.

Written before designed

Every layout starts from real copy. Nothing here is designed around text that has not been written yet.

Fixed scope, fixed price

A signed scope with a named list of deliverables. Anything outside it is priced before it starts, never after.

We say no

If a project needs a specialist we do not have, we say so on the first call and name someone who does.

How an engagement starts

Every project begins with a paid discovery week: interviews with the people who sell your product, a read of your last year of enquiries, and a look at what visitors already do on your site.

It ends with a written plan, a sitemap and a fixed quote. If the plan is wrong, you keep it and walk away. If it is right, the discovery fee comes off the project.
