When most small business owners think about getting a new website, they imagine two extremes:
- A big agency with a big budget and a long timeline
- A cheap DIY option that never turns out quite right
Neither of those choices really works for a Colorado small business that needs something professional, affordable, and built quickly—without unnecessary complexity.
That’s exactly why I created Flatirons Creative Studio.
I believe small businesses deserve clean, modern, high-performing websites without the frustration, the overwhelm, or the $10,000+ price tags that agencies often charge.
And the truth is…
with the right tools, the right frameworks, and the right process, you don’t need an agency to get agency-level results.
A Smarter, Faster Build Process That Saves You Money
Traditional agencies often start completely from scratch—custom layouts, multiple designers, multiple developers, endless discovery phases. It’s slow, expensive, and usually unnecessary.
I take a different approach:
- Proven design structures
- Clean frameworks
- Pre-built components I customize for your brand
- Clear messaging from day one
- Rapid iterations instead of long timelines
This doesn’t mean “template websites.”
It means starting with strong bones so we can focus on clarity, structure, and the parts that actually matter to your customers.
The result?
✨ Faster build times
✨ More affordable projects
✨ A modern, polished site that still feels fully unique
Modern, Lightweight Tools That Keep Your Site Fast and Easy to Maintain
Many agencies hand you a site that looks nice but is bloated with plugins, heavy animations, and custom code you’ll never be able to update yourself.
I build websites that are:
- Fast
- Lightweight
- Easy for you to update
- Optimized for both desktop and mobile
- Clean under the hood (no unnecessary plugins)
This means:
⚡ Your site loads quicker
⚡ Google ranks it higher
⚡ Visitors trust it more
⚡ It doesn’t break every time WordPress updates
A clean build is one of the biggest advantages small businesses overlook.
A Simple, Human Process (No Tech Headaches, No Jargon)
Most business owners don’t want to think about servers, caching, image optimization, CSS frameworks, or plugins.
(And you shouldn’t have to.)
My process is intentionally simple:
- We talk about your goals
- I show you a mockup or wireframe
- You give feedback
- I build the site, fast
- We refine it until you love it
- You launch a site you’re actually proud to send people to
No complicated project boards.
No endless revisions.
No unclear expectations.
Just clarity, collaboration, and momentum.
Transparent Pricing — Not “Agency Mystery Math”
Most agencies use vague project scopes and unpredictable billing.
I don’t.
You get:
- A clear price
- A clear timeline
- A clear list of deliverables
- No surprise charges
- No hidden maintenance fees
- No jargon-filled proposals
I believe in straight talk.
When small businesses trust you, you deliver.
It’s that simple.
5️⃣ Ongoing Care If You Want It — Zero Pressure If You Don’t
Some clients want ongoing support. Some don’t.
I offer:
- Monthly website care plans
- SEO support
- Content updates
- Security monitoring
- Hosting help
- Regular refresh cycles
But I’m never going to lock you into a huge retainer or pressure you into a service you don’t need.
If you want help long-term, I’m here.
If not, your site will still be clean enough that you can manage updates yourself.
Empowerment over dependency—that’s the goal.
Built for Colorado Small Businesses, Not Silicon Valley Startups
I don’t design websites for giant corporations with huge budgets.
I design for:
- Local shops
- Solo entrepreneurs
- Trades & home services
- Creative professionals
- Consultants
- Restaurants
- Coaches
- Community organizations
People who care about their work, their customers, and their reputation.
My job is to create a website that reflects the real quality of your business—without making the process stressful or expensive.

A Modern Website Shouldn’t Be Complicated or Overpriced
At the end of the day, here’s what I believe:
Small businesses deserve great design.
They deserve clarity.
They deserve a website they feel proud to send customers to.
And they shouldn’t have to spend months—or tens of thousands of dollars—to get it.
If your website feels outdated, confusing, or underperforming, I’d love to help you transform it into something clean, modern, and effective.
Your website should make running your business easier—not harder.
Let’s build something great.
