[ Which one ]
When to hire each.
They work together well. If your product needs heavy engineering, keep the dev shop on the app and have us make the brand, the marketing site and the campaigns around it.
Is it a complex app? Accounts, payments logic and data pipelines want deep engineering. Hire a dev shop for that, and us for what sits around it.
Choose a dev shopDoes the site need a brand behind it? If nobody has written or designed it yet, we make all of it, so the words, the look and the build agree.
Choose Super-ConsciousWho keeps it current after launch? If you want the same team updating the site every month, not a new quote each time, that’s us.
Choose Super-ConsciousWe also work for dev shops, making the brand, the copy and the design before they build.
Partner with us →[ Questions ]
The ones we get asked.
Do you write code, or just design?
Both. We design and build marketing sites and stores, on Shopify, Webflow, Framer or code, and keep them running after launch.
Can you work with our existing developers?
Yes. We can hand over designs and content for your team to build, or build the marketing site while they own the product.
Is it cheaper to hire a dev shop?
For a build on its own, often. But a dev shop prices the build alone, so the brand, the copy, the design and the upkeep are paid for separately. Our subscription covers all of them in one monthly price.
How is the subscription billed?
One flat monthly price, with no surprise invoices. You can also pay by the year and save 10%.
What happens after the site launches?
The same team keeps it current. Each quarter starts with a written plan: one goal, the projects that reach it, and their dates and estimated hours.
Who do we talk to day to day?
A project lead who owns the plan with you, with a weekly check-in and a seat in your Slack. The studio behind them does the work.
Which platform will you build on?
Whichever fits: Shopify, Webflow, Framer or custom code. We recommend one based on what the site needs to do and who will update it.
Can we start with just the website?
Yes. You can start with the site and add campaigns or brand work later, inside the same subscription.
Do you work for dev shops?
Yes. Dev shops bring us in to make the brand, the copy and the design before they build.
