Hire the designer, not the agency.

Hi, I’m Chris. When you work with Outbound Lines you work with me — the same person from the first email to the day you get the keys. No account managers, no handoffs, no team you never meet. Sixteen years of brand and web work, pointed at one project at a time: yours.

What that means for you
No. 1 The person you talk to is the person who does the work.

Nothing gets lost between a salesperson, a junior designer, and a reviewer — because they are all the same person, and you have his email address.

No. 2 One project at a time.

Your project is not in a queue behind eleven others. While it runs, it is the studio’s only work.

No. 3 You own everything when we’re done.

Domain, hosting, files, and the brand written down on one page — set up in your name, logins handed over. Nobody can hold your website hostage, including me.

I focus on two things. First impressions, and results.

First impressions

Brand development

People decide how they feel about your business before they read a word of your website. A solid brand creates trust and credibility. When you look like the obvious choice, everything downstream gets easier.

Getting results

Strategic Web Design

A good first impression grants you attention. Everything after that should move your viewer towards the ONE action you want them to take.

There’s a difference between a website that looks good and one that converts. One gets you compliments, the other gets you clients. Make sure yours will do both.
