Website design & development in AustinWebsites with a point of view.
The short answer
Independent website design and development from Austin. We bring positioning, words, visual direction and code together so a website feels specific to the business behind it.
PHASEKIND is an independent two-founder studio in Austin, Texas that designs and builds websites for founders, small and mid-sized businesses, studios, distributors and makers. A website project covers content structure and copy direction, art direction, responsive design, front-end development, CMS or commerce setup, and accessibility and launch checks. It suits a business whose website no longer reflects the quality of its work, or a new business that needs a clear identity from the start. We begin with the work, the audience and the one action the site has to support, design the whole journey including mobile navigation and the moment someone decides to get in touch, and choose the CMS around who will maintain it. Recent examples are Eye Charm’s photography-led studio site, David Eimer’s editorial real-estate site built around Austin’s neighborhoods, and Alliance Chemical’s storefront. We work with businesses in Austin and remotely.

Recognition comes first. A useful next step follows.
Find the distinguishing detail
We start with your work, audience and the action the site needs to support. Photography, language and typography follow that understanding.
Design the whole journey
The opening matters, but so do service comparisons, mobile navigation and the moment somebody decides to contact you.
Build for everyday use
We choose the CMS and integrations around who will maintain the site. Performance, keyboard access and reduced-motion behavior are part of the build.
A few practical questions.
Can you redesign an existing website?
Yes. We review the existing content, URLs and integrations before deciding what to keep. A redesign should preserve useful search entry points and improve the experience around them.
Do you work outside Austin?
Yes. Phasekind is based in Austin and works remotely. The project’s needs determine whether we bring in photography, identity or other specialists.
What determines the cost?
Content volume, original art direction, integrations, commerce and interaction complexity. We define the scope before quoting; a portfolio and a chemical storefront require different work.
