Proof you can click, not promises.

One live build we run in our own family, and a shelf of concept previews, each designed for one real local business in that business's own style. Nothing here is a stock template, and nothing is dressed up as more than it is: the live build is labeled live, and the concepts are labeled concepts.

The After Dark Cottage homepage: a candlelit cottage doorway with the line Step through the cottage door, dark soul
Live build · Our sister business

The brand home of a working gothic cottage shop, designed and built by FadedScape and hosted on our own server. It is our own family's business, so ask us anything about how it is built, what it cost, or what it does. It is all ours to show, end to end, nothing staged.

  • Six chapters, from the Collection to the Coloring Grimoire
  • Product shelves that deal in fresh pieces on every visit
  • The Twelve Elves of Gothmas, each with her own artwork
  • Newsletter signup with a welcome offer and a free coloring page
  • Verified in Google Search Console, sales through the shop's Etsy store

Concept previews

Built for one business each, in that business's own style.

No two of these move the same way, because no two of these businesses work the same way. Each preview is a working front door, forms and all, built to show its owner what their shop could feel like online.

A starter front door for a plumbing company with no website at all, built like the dispatch board the office already runs on.

Concept homepage for Split Endz Salon in editorial magazine style with a booking desk
Concept preview

Split Endz Salon, Milton

An editorial, magazine-style booking site for a five-star salon whose listed website currently sends Milton clients to a salon in Pennsylvania.

What it demonstrates

  • A booking desk on the front page
  • Real stylists, with their own specialties
  • A wrong-state listing, fixed

The concept previews are labeled as concepts on every page, and they are not live client sites. When a local business signs with the studio, their build appears here as a live link, with their permission.

Yours could be the next live one.

Every live build starts with the free audit: three findings about your current front door and what we would fix first, in writing, within one business day.
