Approach
Production discipline, applied to the web.
The studio's roots are in apparel, screen printing, and production: work where a job is quoted, scheduled, made, checked, and delivered to a customer holding the finished piece.
That background moved through graphic design and branding into engineering and development. It shapes how White Hill runs projects today: a written scope, a fixed quote, a defined checklist, and a finished product handed over on time.
Every site is designed around the business it serves and written by hand in clean, accessible code.
Capabilities
What the studio delivers.
Strategy and copy
Content organization and plain, specific writing built from the client's own facts.
Brand-led design
Type, colour, and layout systems designed for each business, on phone and desktop.
Development
Hand-written HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Forms, local search basics, analytics, domains, and launch.
Product
The Opportunity Engine: multi-tenant revenue recovery software for trades, in pilot validation.
How projects run
Built to handle several projects at once.
- 01
Standard scopes
Each service has a documented scope, so projects start from a known checklist instead of a blank page.
- 02
Fixed terms
Quotes, payment stages, revision rounds, and support windows are set in writing before work begins.
- 03
Automated checks
Pricing, links, accessibility basics, and content rules are verified by test suites before anything ships.
- 04
Clean handover
Clients own the site, the domain, and their data. Optional care keeps the site maintained after launch.
