I build custom websites for small businesses, creators, and trades who deserve more than a Squarespace template. Most small business sites lose people in those first three seconds. I build sites that earn the next three.
Custom-built. Fast. Modern. Yours. Starting at $1,500.
None of them are about how it looks. They're about what visitors actually experience in the first few seconds.
Most small business sites are built on bloated platforms. Visitors leave before the hero image finishes rendering. Yours should load in under 1.
Squarespace templates are fine for the 10,000 businesses also using them. Your site should make a buyer remember you, not blend you in.
AI-generated copy reads as AI-generated copy. "Step into the realm of excellence." Real businesses talk like real humans. So should your site.
None of these problems are about design talent. They're about care. Slow loads, dated templates, robot copy. These are people who stopped paying attention to their own front door. I haven't.
"Built by hand. Done right."
Editorial craftsman site for a high-end renovation specialist. Warm palette, premium positioning, owner-led narrative voice.
"Slow dance for the end."
Recording artist site built around an album release. Immersive dark aesthetic, streaming integration, tour dates, press kit.
"Power. Strength. Endurance."
Personal trainer site for Brett, who trained Kimbo Slice and pro wrestlers. Hard-edged athletic aesthetic, real testimonials, intake form that filters tire-kickers.
"[Real client quote will go here. Get one from Andres or your dad. Text them: 'Could you write me 2-3 sentences about working together? Anything honest is gold.']"
Most agencies disappear for two weeks then surface with a finished site. I work in real-time over text. You see the build happen day by day. Course-correct early, ship faster, no surprises.
If your business doesn't actually need a website, I'll tell you. If you need something different than what you asked for, I'll say so. The work I take on is work I believe in. Period.
Every site I ship has a small "Site by APM" link in the footer. That's my reputation, on every site, forever. So I don't ship work I'm not proud of. It's that simple.
I've spent 8 years in enterprise technology and security. Currently working full-time as a senior consultant. What I noticed working with that world is that most small businesses get left behind. They pay $20/month for a Squarespace template that looks like everyone else's, or sit on a site a friend built in 2017 that they're afraid to touch.
I started APM Studio because I wanted to bring enterprise-level work to small businesses that can't afford enterprise pricing. For tradesmen, shop owners, creatives. Anyone who deserves a site that actually represents them. I move fast because modern tools let me. I keep prices fair because I'd rather build for ten people I respect than one corporate client I don't.
If that sounds like the kind of person you want to work with, let's talk.
Modern tools let me build in days what used to take weeks. I pass that on. Fixed prices. No sales calls until we both want one.
Single-page site that punches above its weight.
Multi-page for established businesses with multiple service lines.
Full custom build with CMS for sites that need to drive revenue.
Modern AI-assisted tools let me build in days what used to take agencies weeks. I keep my overhead near zero, work directly with you, and pass the savings on. The work is the same quality either way.
You can text me anytime. Small updates are usually free and same-week. Bigger updates I quote project-by-project. There's no required monthly retainer, but I offer one at $97/mo if you want hands-off updates and monitoring.
100% yours. Code, content, domain, all of it. If you ever want to leave, I hand over a clean folder with everything in it. No platform lock-in. No held-hostage situations. Ever.
Day 1: a 30-minute call about your business. Days 2-3: I send a design direction with mockups. Days 4-10: I build it. Days 11-14: revisions and launch. You're never waiting more than 48 hours for an update from me.
Not at all. Standard and Premium tiers include copywriting and photo direction. For Essential, I'll guide you through getting solid photos with just your phone in about 30 minutes. Same way I helped my dad and Andres.
Yes, all of it. I set up the domain, hosting, email forwarding, contact forms, and analytics. You don't need to know what DNS is. By the time we're done, everything just works.
I take roughly 2 clients per month. If we're not a fit, I'll tell you and refer you elsewhere. No pressure either way. Send a quick note about your business and what you're hoping to build. I respond within one business day.
