About the studio

Main & Front is a one-person web design studio for local businesses. The person on your first call is the same person who designs your site, takes your photos and makes your updates after launch.

What I bring

Three skills that usually take three different people.

Graphic design
Layouts, type and color that look like your business, from the website to the sign on the door.
Photography
Photos of your real space, team and work, taken on site, so your website doesn't need stock pictures. See some of my own photos.
Editing
Every photo is edited before it goes on your site, with the color, light and cropping fixed.

How I work

Posted prices

No guessing

Every price is on the Pricing page, and your quote uses the same numbers.

In writing

A real contract

Your pages, price and dates are written down and signed before any work starts.

Yours to keep

You own it

Once it's paid, the design, the content made for you and your photos belong to you.

No lock-in

Month to month

Care plans can be cancelled with 30 days' notice, and your site moves with you.

Where I work

Websites are designed, built and looked after online, so most of the work happens over email and calls.

Photo sessions happen on site, only when a business books one, for businesses within about 25 miles. Real estate shoots cover all of Rockland County and nearby parts of Westchester, Orange and Bergen counties, up to 50 miles away.

How this brand came together

The same steps a logo project goes through, shown on the studio's own brand.

The mark: two street signs on one post.

The idea

Local businesses live on streets like Main Street and Front Avenue, so the mark is the sign at that corner. Everyone already knows how to read a street sign, at a glance and from far away.

The type

Headings use Overpass, a free font inspired by Highway Gothic, the lettering on American road signs. Body text uses Public Sans, made for U.S. government websites to stay easy to read.

The colors

Street-sign green and white, on a cool paper white with a deep green-black for text. Signal yellow only shows up to mark where you are on the page.

  • Sign green#0B6B46, the sign and buttons
  • Deep green#085536, buttons when pressed
  • Sign white#F5FBF7, letters on the sign
  • Ink#14201A, text
  • Paper#F4F6F4, background
  • Signal yellow#E3A21A, focus rings
