Design of Man Jupiter, FL · Eastern Let’s talk

Websites that guide people in.

Design of Man is a small web studio on the Jupiter Inlet. We design, build and look after websites and web apps for businesses that want to be found, and we are still answering the phone a year after launch.

(01)The studio

We build websites the way a keeper looks after a light: carefully, by hand, and long after everyone else has gone home. No templates stretched to fit. No account managers between you and the work. No disappearing at launch.

ClarityNo jargon. Every project starts with a written plan you can actually read.

CraftWritten by hand, so it is fast, accessible and still legible in five years.

CareHosting and maintenance are part of the deal, month to month.

(02)What we do

Everything a site needs, from one bench.

Design, build, launch and the care afterwards. One studio does all four, so nothing falls into the gap between two vendors.

Sites written by hand, not assembled from a page builder and eleven plugins holding hands. That is why the pages load fast, why a browser update does not take the site down, and why the next person who touches the code can read it.

  • Responsive from the first line, not squeezed onto a phone at the end
  • Reachable by keyboard and by screen reader, because a site that turns a customer away is broken
  • Booking, quotes and intake forms that land where your team actually works
  • Rebuilds and migrations with content, domains and email moved across without downtime

When the thing you sell needs accounts, dashboards, scheduling or a workflow your team lives inside, a brochure site will not carry it. We build the application instead, and we are honest when what you actually need is three pages and a form.

  • Your data stays yours, in systems you can take with you
  • Legible code another developer can pick up
  • Scoped in writing before anything is built
  • Tested end to end on the devices your people use

Design starts with who is arriving, what they need to see and what you want them to do. Structure first, then type and colour, then the details. You see real pages with your own words in them, on a real screen, not a mood board that commits to nothing.

  • Built around one obvious next step for the visitor
  • Two rounds of revisions included in the price
  • Feedback as a conversation: we argue once, then build what you decide
  • A system of type, colour and spacing the site can grow into

The unglamorous half, and the half that goes wrong when nobody owns it: domains and DNS, email that keeps arriving through the move, payment processing, and the CRM or inbox every form has to reach.

  • Every form submitted for real, from a phone, before launch
  • Email verified as still arriving after the domain moves
  • Search basics: titles, structured data, a sitemap, URLs that will not change
  • Stripe, booking systems and CRMs wired and tested end to end

Most studios hand over a folder and disappear. We stay on it: managed hosting, TLS, security updates, backups, uptime monitoring and the content changes you would otherwise have to learn a dashboard to make. Month to month, no lock-in.

  • Managed hosting with uptime alerts
  • Security updates and backups, done without being asked
  • A set amount of content changes each month
  • If you leave, you leave with your files and your domain
Every service, in detail

Redesigns that moved the needle.

The build we are free to show in full, with the old site still there to compare against. Where we have numbers, they are measured, not estimated.

Orthopedics · full redesign

A cluttered medical site rebuilt into a clean, high-trust experience: an editorial hero, service navigation a patient can actually parse, and consultations in the first screen instead of the fourth.

Shown on request rather than on the page, because publishing a client’s brand is theirs to agree to, not ours to assume. Ask on the call.

(04)Care

Launch day is when the light comes on.

Most studios hand over a folder and disappear. We keep the light on: hosting, security, backups, monitoring and the small changes, month to month, with no lock-in. The Jupiter Inlet Light has been kept since 1860. A website deserves a keeper too.

What care costs
  • 01

    Managed hosting

    Fast, monitored hosting you never have to think about.

  • 02

    Security & TLS

    Certificates renewed and updates applied before they are news.

  • 03

    Backups

    Taken on a schedule and actually tested, not just switched on.

  • 04

    Uptime alerts

    If the site goes down, we hear about it before your customers do.

  • 05

    Content changes

    Send the new hours, prices or photos. We make the change.

  • 06

    Kept fast

    Pages checked for speed as content grows, so the site does not slowly rot.

  • 07

    Your code, yours

    No proprietary platform to rent. Take it anywhere, any time.

  • 08

    A person, not a queue

    The people who built your site answer when you call.

(05)Process

From the bench to launch day.

Four stages, a fixed price and a date before anything is built. You see the work the whole way.

The bench

Before anything is designed, we lay out what you sell, who is buying, and what has to happen on the page. We look at your current site, your competitors and where enquiries come from today.

You leave with a written scope, a fixed price and a date.

Stage 01Typically one week

The core

Structure and design together: layout, type, the path a visitor takes and the one thing you want them to do. Real pages with your own words, in a browser, on a phone.

Two rounds of revisions are built into the price.

Stage 02One to two weeks

The build

Hand-written markup, fast hosting, real accessibility. A live preview link on day one of this stage that updates as we go, so there is no big reveal and no surprise.

Content, images and copy are finalised here.

Stage 03One to six weeks

The launch

Domain connected, email verified as still arriving, analytics wired, and every form submitted for real from a phone before we call it live.

Then hosting, updates, backups and monitoring for as long as you want us.

Stage 04Usually an hour
And then

We stay on it.

Hosting, updates, backups and monitoring, for as long as you want us. Launch day is usually an hour. The care after it does not stop.

The full process

(06)Principles

What we will not do.

Every studio lists its values. These are ours stated as refusals, because a refusal is the only kind you can hold us to.

01 / 06

We will not stack plugins until it works.

If a feature needs code, it gets code. A site held together by eleven third-party extensions breaks on somebody else’s release schedule.

02 / 06

We will not ship a page you cannot use with a keyboard.

An unreachable control is a defect, the same as a broken link. We fix it. We do not ask you to accept it as a trade-off.

03 / 06

We will not quote a number we cannot hold.

The consult ends with an exact price for an exact scope. If the scope changes, you hear what it costs before we build it, not after.

04 / 06

We will not disappear at launch.

Launch is when the site starts being useful, not when our job ends. Care is part of the arrangement, month to month, cancel whenever.

05 / 06

We will not lock you in.

You own the code and the domain. If you leave, we help you move cleanly rather than making the exit expensive.

06 / 06

We will not pad a proposal.

No line items for work nobody needs. If one page can do the job, we will not sell you nine.

(07)Pricing

Simple plans, no surprises.

Three ways we usually work. Every build is scoped to what it actually needs, so the consult ends with one exact number for your project, not a range to guess inside.

(08)Questions

Everything you would ask on the call.

How much does a custom website cost?

It depends on what the site has to do. A brochure site for a local business and a custom build with booking, payments and integrations are very different jobs. The free consult ends with one exact number for your scope, fixed before work starts.

How long does a project take?

Focused sites launch in two to three weeks. Most business sites run four to six weeks from kickoff, and e-commerce, booking or app builds take eight to twelve. You get the date before we start, and it is the one we hold.

Will my site work on phones?

Always. Every site is built responsive from the first line and tested on real phone widths, not just resized in a desktop browser.

Do you handle hosting and updates after launch?

Yes. Care plans cover managed hosting, security updates, backups, uptime monitoring and content changes, priced to the site they look after. Month to month; stop whenever you like.

Can you redesign or migrate my existing site?

Regularly. We rebuild aging sites and move content, domains and email from your old host without downtime. We audit what you have first and tell you honestly what is worth keeping.

Do you work with businesses outside Florida?

Yes. Most clients are within an hour of Jupiter because that is where we are, but the work runs the same way remotely.
