Boutique web design studio

Websites that quietly do the work for small businesses with big ambitions.

Strategy, design, build, deploy. We make beautiful, fast, deploy-ready websites in weeks not months — for the people who care how it feels, not just how it looks.

What's included

One thing every Daybreak site ships with — and the most useful thing your previous one didn't.

Self-serve CMS

Edit anything yourself.

Sanity Studio ships with every site we build. Update text, swap photos, change pricing, add an FAQ — without opening code or waiting on a developer. Your content, your timeline.

  • Headlines, photos, pricing — editable in real time
  • FAQ, testimonials, services — all yours to update
  • Live preview before you publish

The process

  1. Step 1: Discovery

    Questionnaire, kickoff call, scope locked.

  2. Step 2: Brand extract

    Pixel-sample your existing assets so the site feels native.

  3. Step 3: Design system

    Tokens, type, components — codified before any page is built.

  4. Step 4: Build

    Next.js + Tailwind + shadcn, your content piped through Sanity CMS.

  5. Step 5: Deploy

    Vercel, custom domain, SSL, analytics — same day.

  6. Step 6: Care

    Ongoing edits, security updates, monthly performance check.

Testimonials

From small-business owners we've shipped sites for.

  • Three Squarespace builds collapsed on us before Daybreak. They shipped in two weeks and I haven't had to call anyone since.

    Maya R.

    Owner · Hilo Lavender Co.

  • Daniel actually read our existing brand brief instead of starting from scratch. The site looks like us on our best day.

    James K.

    Co-founder · Kō Coffee Roasters

  • I wanted a site I could actually edit myself. They built one I can. That sounds small, but it isn't.

    Anika P.

    Practice owner · Family Dentistry of Oahu

  • Booking inquiries came in the first week. Our old site barely loaded on a phone.

    Lia W.

    Photographer · Lia W. Photography

  • Honest scope, honest timeline, honest invoices. We've worked with five agencies — this was the first one I'd hire again.
