Structure before style
Pretty is easy once the bones are right. Backwards, it's a rebuild. Content plan first, always — even when everyone would rather look at colors.

Hi, I'm Becky
I design the site and I do the search work. Which means nothing gets lost in the handoff, because there isn't one.
The short version
Before this studio I built an apparel brand out of Santa Barbara. Original designs, small runs, a site I was proud of. It looked great. Almost nobody found it.
So I went and learned why. Crawl budgets, structured data, Core Web Vitals, internal linking — the unglamorous half of the web that decides whether the pretty half ever gets seen. Traffic followed. And somewhere in there I noticed the part I actually enjoyed wasn't selling shirts. It was the puzzle underneath.
Then the ground moved. People stopped typing queries and started asking assistants, and a page could rank first and still lose the customer to a paragraph generated above it. So I learned that too — how models read a page, what makes them quote one source over another, and how to build for both at once.
That's what this studio is. Not an agency with a discovery deck and an account manager. One person who has been on your side of it — running a small business, paying for a website, waiting for it to do something — building sites that are good to look at and genuinely findable. Which turn out to be the same job, if you do them together.
Four things I won't budge on, mostly learned by getting them wrong first.
Pretty is easy once the bones are right. Backwards, it's a rebuild. Content plan first, always — even when everyone would rather look at colors.
If I can't explain what I'm doing and why it matters in a sentence you'd repeat to a friend, it's probably not worth doing. Reports you can read, not decks you can't.
Your code, your domain, your accounts, your data. Nothing proprietary, nothing locked, no exit fee. If we stop working together, you lose nothing but me.
If your site is fine and you need a better offer instead, I'll say so. I'd rather lose a project than take money for work that won't change anything.

A few sentences is plenty. I read every one of these myself and reply within two business days — usually with a question or two before anything else.
