01 / SELECTED CONCEPTS

Different businesses.
Distinct personalities.

Good design starts with the business behind it. Explore two complete concepts, each with its own point of view.

Fictional brands. Real, explorable websites.

These are self-initiated portfolio concepts, not commissioned client projects. Demo businesses, prices, and service areas are illustrative.

02 / SMALL STUDIO, CLEAR FOCUS

A human behind
every pixel.

I’m Tristan, the person behind ClearSite Studio. I’m building an independent web design business around a simple idea: small businesses deserve a website that feels like them.

That means thoughtful design, straightforward language, and a practical way for visitors to take the next step. We work together online, from the first brief to the final review.

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS

Clear answers,
from the start.

Who is ClearSite a good fit for?+

Independent service businesses that need a focused landing page or a straightforward business website. The concepts above show two approaches for home-service brands, and the same clarity-first approach can suit other small businesses.

How long will my website take?+

A timeline is agreed after reviewing the scope and your content. Page count, integrations, and how quickly feedback arrives all affect delivery. No fixed turnaround is promised before that review.

What do I need before we start?+

Your business description, services, preferred call to action, and any logo, photos, or copy you already have. The project planner helps you organize these into a simple brief.

Are hosting and ongoing updates included?+

All three website packages are one-time design/build services. Hosting, one standard domain up to $50/year, renewals, DNS/SSL support, backups and ongoing maintenance are included only with the optional $399/year Website Care subscription. Without it, you handle and pay for those services yourself. Paid tools, email and major changes are extra.

Can I cancel Website Care?+

Yes. Cancel the next renewal through the Stripe billing portal before your annual renewal date. Your current paid period continues, and we coordinate a handoff before it ends. Your domain remains yours; future hosting and domain renewals become your responsibility. Read the Website Care scope and billing details.

How does the project planner work?+

Choose a package and describe your goals, then copy or download your brief. Nothing is sent to ClearSite automatically. You can also explicitly save a draft on this device and return to it later.

WEBSITE CARE · ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION

More peace of mind.
One annual plan.

Managed hosting, domain administration, DNS/SSL support, backups and routine maintenance for one ClearSite-built static website. Website design and build payments are separate.

$399 USD / yearCharged upfront. Automatically renews each year until canceled before renewal.

Includes one customer-owned standard domain with up to $50/year toward its registration or renewal, plus up to 30 minutes of minor updates per month. Premium domains, email, paid apps and major work require a separate approved quote.

We’re preparing secure Stripe checkout. No payment or subscription is created by reviewing this plan.

YOUR INFORMATION

Simple by design.

The project planner processes your answers in your browser. It does not send a message, create a subscription, or automatically store your answers. Website Care purchases, when checkout is enabled, take place on Stripe’s hosted payment page.

If you choose “Save draft on this device,” your answers are saved in this browser’s local storage. “Clear saved draft” removes that saved copy. Copying or downloading a brief puts the information on your clipboard or device.

ClearSite does not receive or store your full card number or security code. Stripe securely keeps payment-method information needed for annual renewals and processes the billing details you enter at checkout. The website records verified billing status events, not raw card details.

There are no analytics or marketing trackers added by ClearSite. Hosting infrastructure may process basic request data to serve and protect the site. The portfolio demos are fictional and do not accept real bookings.
