About
Calls, quotes, and jobs booked. We measure success in revenue, not pageviews. A flat fee, delivered in four to six weeks. You work with the owner of the studio; no account managers in the way.
From the kickoff call to a site that's live and tracking calls.
No hourly billing. No surprise change-orders mid-project.
Free changes after launch, while the dust is still settling.
The studio
Umber is a studio (design and engineering, working side by side) for contractors, clinics, law firms, logistics companies, and the family-run businesses around them. We work directly with whoever runs the place. Always.
We charge a flat fee. We deliver in four to six weeks. We measure success in calls, quotes, and booked jobs, not pageviews, awards, or portfolio features. If a rebuild doesn’t pay for itself inside a year, we didn’t do our job.
Most small-business websites are losing the business money. The hero is a stock photo, the phone number is hidden three clicks down, the quote form is eight fields long, and the whole thing takes six seconds to load. Umber exists to fix that, one site at a time.
How we work
Most small-business sites lose jobs because the phone number is buried. We put it where the eye lands, on every page, sticky on mobile. Every other decision follows from that one.
A visitor should have exactly one thing to do on the page they're looking at: book, call, quote, request. We pick the action the business cares about most and remove everything in the way.
We launch in four to six weeks and come back at thirty and ninety days with call volume, quote submissions, and conversion numbers. If something isn't moving, we change what's in the way.
We don't design for awards. We design for a phone that rings more, a calendar that fills up, and an owner who stops apologizing for their website.
How we work
Five phases. Six weeks from kickoff to live, plus thirty days of free changes after.
Week 0
You send the URL. We send back a written report inside a week.
Week 1
If a rebuild makes sense, a fixed-fee scope and a one-call follow-up.
Weeks 1-2
Page-by-page rewrite in your voice, aimed at the customer you actually want.
Weeks 2-5
One round of design in a live preview, one round of revisions, then we build.
Week 6 + 90 days
Switch the site over, set up analytics and call-tracking. We stay on for 30 days of free changes.
What we won’t
We don't pitch three design concepts so the safest one wins.
We don't ship sites that only the studio can update.
We don't bill by the hour, and we don't pad the scope.
We don't send hundred-page proposals nobody reads.
