About the studio

A one-person studio, start to finish.

Clocktower Studios is run by one person, which means the person reviewing your site is the same person building it. No account managers, no handoffs, no work shipped off somewhere else.

The studio is run by Austin Porter, based in Newburgh, Indiana. The work is simple to describe: building and rebuilding websites for small businesses. A lot of that is for local businesses around Newburgh and the Evansville area, but the work happens remotely just as easily, so clients anywhere in the country are welcome.

Most projects start the same way, with a look at what is already there. A lot of small business sites are not broken so much as stuck, sitting on a platform that keeps raising its price, slow to load, hard to edit. The good parts, the photos, the reviews, the years of trust, are usually worth keeping. The rest can be rebuilt on something faster and cheaper to run.

The sites are built as fast static pages and hosted on a free, fast network, so they stay quick for visitors and inexpensive for you to keep online. When you need to change your hours or prices, you can do it yourself. And you own the site and the domain outright, so you are never locked into one company.

How I work

A few plain rules.

Direct

One point of contact

You deal with the person doing the work, from the first email to launch.

Honest

Straight recommendations

If a few fixes will do and you do not need a rebuild, the audit will say so.

Real

Your real content

Your actual photos, services, and reviews. Nothing made up to fill space.

Yours

No lock-in

You own the site and the domain. The work is built to hand off if you ever need to.
