About Mistline Studio

Most mornings in the Bay Area, there's a line — the mistline — where the marine layer breaks and the sky goes clear. Below it, everything is soft-edged and hard to make out. Above it, everything is sharp.

That's the metaphor. A lot of small businesses are stuck below the line: no website, or one built years ago by someone who's since gone unresponsive. The business is real and good — it's just hard to see. Mistline Studio exists to cut through that, so the people looking for you can actually find you.

We build clean, fast, professional websites for small businesses — contractors, salons, retail shops, local services — the kind of businesses that are often overlooked by web design shops chasing bigger clients.

Mistline Studio is small and stays that way on purpose: one person who takes on a handful of projects at a time, not an agency managing a queue. That means a direct line to whoever is actually building your site, and no handoffs between a salesperson, a project manager, and a developer you never talk to.

Two things set how we work apart. First, we build a real sample of your site before you commit to anything — you decide based on something tangible, not a sales pitch. Second, every site we build gets a real security review: sanitized forms, no exposed credentials, proper headers. Most small freelance web shops skip this entirely. We don't.
