About

One design,
one business.

We're a team of developers, graphic designers and business professionals who got tired of watching companies pay agency prices for a theme with their logo dropped in. Every design we make is drawn for one business and never used again.

  • Orlando, FL
  • Remote
  • No templates

Most agencies solve the same problem the same way. Buy a theme, drop in the logo, swap the stock photos, invoice for thousands. It takes an afternoon, and it gets sold as a custom website.

We started CMT Web because we were tired of watching businesses pay for that. A layout drawn for nobody in particular, handed over at agency prices, followed by a year of wondering why the site reads like the three competitors above it in the search results. The template was never the problem. Charging for design and delivering assembly is.

So the studio is built around the opposite. CMT Web is made up of developers, graphic designers and business professionals, and every project gets attention from all three, because a site that looks good and can't sell is as useless as one that sells and looks like everyone else's. One of us owns your project from the first call through launch, so there's no account manager relaying messages to whoever is actually doing the work.

Every site we make is drawn by a person, for one business, and then never drawn again. Your design isn't resold, isn't adapted for the next client in your industry, and doesn't quietly become a template after you launch. You're paying for something that exists once.

It also costs less than the agency quote you're weighing it against. Not because the design is cut short, but because you aren't paying for account managers, status decks, a sales floor, or the markup on a junior's time. You get the real number in writing, fixed, before anyone starts.

01 How we think

Four things we won't compromise on

Your design is drawn once

A person designs your site around your business, and that design is never resold, never adapted for the next client in your industry, and never turned into a template. It exists once, and it's yours.

The business comes before the layout

You can't design a homepage until you know what a visitor is supposed to do on it. That's why discovery is a real stage with a real deliverable, not a fifteen-minute call before the fun part.

You should be able to leave

Lock-in is a business model, not a service. Your domain, your code, your content, month-to-month hosting. If we ever stop being worth it, you can go, and we'll help.

You don't pay until we deliver

No deposit, no split payments, nothing up front. We scope it, design it and build it, and you see the finished site before you pay a dollar. The risk of us not finishing is ours to carry, not yours.

02 Proof of terms

If you fire us, what do you keep?

Everything. Here's that written down, so it's a commitment rather than a nice sentiment.

  • Your domain

    Registered in your name, in your own registrar account. We'll set it up with you, not for you. You hold the keys from day one.

  • Your code

    The full source, handed over at launch. Built on standard, widely-used tools and documented. Any competent developer can pick it up.

  • Your content

    Copy, images and structure are yours. If we wrote it, you still own it.

  • Your hosting, if you want it

    Month to month. Cancel with 30 days' notice and we'll hand you a working export and help you move it. No termination fee.

None of this is unusual or generous. It's what you should expect from anyone you hire. It's here in writing because a surprising number of places don't offer it, and you shouldn't have to find that out at the point you want to leave.

Still here?

Then let's talk about the business. Worst case, you get a free read on your current site and we both move on.
