About

We make distinctive websites for ambitious teams.

Eight years in. Eighty-four sites in market. One small studio in Senopati, Jakarta.

We started in 2018 with a thesis.

  1. Most websites are bad because they're commissioned by people who don't care and made by people paid not to push back.

  2. We push back. We turn down projects more than we accept them. We don't take on more than six builds in a quarter. We don't hand off implementation to people who weren't in the design conversation. The cost of doing that work properly shows up as fewer sites, not lower-margin sites.

  3. We started with Maya designing and Bram engineering — same as today. The team is six now, but the constraint is the same: every engagement runs through people who can defend every decision.

  4. We're based in Senopati, Jakarta. About a third of our clients are overseas. We've never had a sales person.
