We Make Websites With Purpose & Intent
Hi, I'm Matin — founder and lead developer at Shipyards Web Studio. My journey into web development started right after high school. I enrolled in Launch School's rigorous software engineering program, where I spent over two years mastering the fundamentals: from building databases and understanding internet protocols, to designing front-end interfaces and building full-stack applications from the ground up.
With that foundation, I began working one-on-one with small businesses in my community. What started as freelance work has since grown into a full-fledged web design company dedicated to helping local businesses thrive online.
What I found was that a lot of small businesses don't have the funds to spend thousands of dollars upfront on a new website. And the ones that did, got taken advantage of and ended up with a terrible website. They either couldn't afford a good website, or if they could, they didn't know who to trust. So I tweaked my business model to fit their needs. That's how I came up with my $0 down and $199 a month model—more manageable for a small business and easier on their budget.
Our Working Process
We Take Care of Everything
After a contract is signed we send a small questionnaire about your business and what you offer, then we expand on that content and write the entire site's content for you, create the design, get approval, then we build. Generally takes 2-3 weeks from start to finish.
Step 1
Complete Questionnaire
We send you an email with less than 10 questions about your business, services, what sets you apart, etc and we do all the rest.
Step 2
Design Approval
We then do a video screen share showing you the first draft and make any changes you want to make sure you’re 100% satisfied.
Step 3
Development
Once approved, we can start coding the site out and setting everything up. We will send a demo link to view before we launch and go live.
