About Tela / A studio of one

A SMALL STUDIO. A HIGH BAR.

You work directly with the person building your site, from the first conversation to launch and after.

I'M LIAM. THIS IS TELA.

Your work holds a standard. Your website should hold it too.

I started Tela for businesses whose work is better than their website. I take on a few clients at a time and handle the strategy, the writing, the design and the build myself, starting with the kind of work you want more of.

My background spans both design and software engineering, so every Tela site is designed and built by the same hand, with equal care given to what you see and what runs beneath it.

HOW I WORK.

Every business is different, so every site starts from scratch. Four rules hold throughout.

01

Start with your clients.

Who you want to reach and what they need to hear come first. Every page is built to answer them.

02

Get the details right.

The right photo, a clear sentence and a button in the right place do more than any amount of decoration.

03

Show the work properly.

Good projects deserve space, order and a little context, so a visitor understands what you did and why it matters.

04

Keep you in the loop.

You always know what's being decided and why. Reviews happen at set points, and feedback goes straight to me.

QUALITY YOU CAN FEEL.

A texture. A detail. A pause before something moves. Visitors can't name these things, but they feel them, and they trust you more for it.

TIME TO DO IT PROPERLY.

A few projects at a time, so each gets the attention it needs.
