Week 01
Discovery & direction
We meet your team, your data, and your buyer. Outcome: a single-page brief and three design directions.
Studio · Portland, OR · Est. 2024
Websites that
earn the click
after the click.
Stride is a small studio that builds marketing sites, product pages, and brand surfaces for teams who treat the first ten seconds of a session as their most important asset.
Live demos · 5 fictional clients
Each demo is a complete site.
Open one — every page is real.
01
SaaS
Lumen
Analytics, illuminated.
A precision-built SaaS marketing site for a fictional analytics platform. Technical minimalism, generous negative space, mono-spaced accents.
Open demo
02
Restaurant
Maison Hearth
A neighborhood table.
Warm editorial design for a seasonal restaurant. Serif-led typography, ember and cream palette, the kind of site that makes you hungry.
Open demo
03
Law
Halden & Crowe
Counsel of consequence.
A stately, restrained presentation for a boutique law practice. Bone-on-navy palette, classical proportions, zero whimsy.
Open demo
04
Fitness
Forge Athletic
Built in the work.
A brutalist-energetic site for a strength gym. Oversized condensed type, blackline grids, high-friction interaction.
Open demo
05
E-commerce
Nocturne Goods
For the night side of taste.
A moody luxury storefront for fictional home fragrance and small-batch objects. Deep aubergine, leaf-gold accents, slow product reveals.
Open demo
Capabilities
A short list,
deeply practiced.
- 01
Marketing sites & landing pages
Sites that load instantly on a phone in low-bar signal, hold up to a CMS migration, and feel hand-built.
- 02
Design systems & component libraries
Token-driven, framework-agnostic, documented. Built so your next engineer doesn't unlearn the last one.
- 03
Headless commerce surfaces
Storefronts on Shopify, Commerce.js, or roll-your-own. We sweat the PDP because the PDP sweats the sale.
- 04
Brand systems
Logo work, type pairing, motion principles, voice. Delivered as a working system, not a 60-page PDF.
- 05
Performance & accessibility audits
Lighthouse is the floor. We pull traces, fix layout shifts, and ship the report with a working fix attached.
Process
Four weeks,
start to staging.
Week 02
Build & commit
We pick a direction and build it for real, in code. No mockup limbo. Daily Loom updates on what shipped.
Week 03
Content & polish
Final copy lands. Animation, micro-interaction, edge cases. Lighthouse, axe, manual screen-reader pass.
Week 04
Ship & handover
Staging review, your domain, your repo. We leave a runbook and a 30-day open Slack window.
Have something to ship?
We take on roughly one new engagement a month. The next opening is in about three weeks.
