The work

Here's the kind of site we make.

These are sample concepts for made-up businesses, so you can see our style before we build one for you. Your preview will use your name, your photos and your details.

Sample concept

Juniper Hollow Inn

A fictional bed and breakfast

Built so a guest can picture the stay and book it in under a minute, even on a phone.

  • "Check availability" button on every page
  • A page for each room, with photos and rates
  • Directions, policies and breakfast hours in plain view
Sample concept

Cedar Rail Barn

A fictional wedding venue

Couples want to feel the place first. Big photos up top, then the answers they always ask about.

  • Tour request form that lands in your inbox
  • Capacity, packages and what's included, all on one page
  • A photo gallery that loads fast on a phone
Sample concept

Greenway Lawn Co.

A fictional landscaper

For trades, the job is simple: show what you do, where you work, and make it easy to ask for a quote.

  • Tap-to-call and quote button pinned on phones
  • Clear list of services and the towns you cover
  • Works the same for groomers, cleaners, food trucks and more

How it works

Three easy steps. You do almost nothing.

  1. 1

    We build your site first

    We use what's already on your current site and public listings to build a new version. Free, with nothing to fill out.

    Cost to you: nothing

  2. 2

    You look at a private link

    We email you a private preview. Look at it on your phone or computer. Ask for changes, or tell us it's not for you.

    No call or meeting needed

  3. 3

    We launch it and keep it fresh

    If you love it, we put it live on your own domain. Need a change later? Email us and it's done within 2 business days.

Who we are

A small studio, on purpose.

Porchlight Studio is a small web studio in Irvine, California. We build and look after websites for owner-run businesses: inns, venues, campgrounds and local trades.

There's no sales team and no call center. You email us, we do the work.

We're new, and we'd rather show you than tell you. That's why the preview is free.

Questions

Fair questions, plain answers.

Why is the preview free?

Because it's the easiest way to earn your trust. It's much easier to decide when you can see your own new site than to imagine one. If you don't love it, you owe nothing.

Do I need to do anything technical?

No. We handle the design, hosting, security and launch. If you'd like to add new photos or details, just email them to us.

Do I keep my domain?

Yes. Your domain stays in your name, and your words and photos stay yours. We just point your domain to the new site when you're ready.

What if I want changes?

Before launch, tell us what you'd like different and we'll update the preview. After launch, small updates are unlimited: email us a change and it's done within 2 business days.

What if I want to cancel?

Send us an email. There's no contract and no cancellation fee. You keep your domain and your content.

How did you find me?

We look for small, owner-run businesses whose website isn't doing them justice. We found yours through public listings and your current website. If you'd rather not hear from us, just reply and say so.

Let us build yours. You decide after you see it.

Send us a quick email with your business name. We'll reply with a private preview link. No forms, no calls.
