Custom websites, platforms, and assistant-style tools built with precision and purpose — tailored to the way you actually work, not to a template.
Who we build for
From handcrafted client galleries to full studio platforms and assistant-style tools like EmberPDA, every solution is built to fit your process — opinionated where it matters, flexible where it counts, and designed for long-term use.
A quick overview of the kinds of systems Forge & Ember can forge for you. Each project starts here, then gets shaped around your specific workflow.
Custom Websites
Studio and business sites that feel intentional, handle the essentials, and are built to grow with you instead of needing a full rebuild every few years.
Platforms & Portals
Client portals, internal dashboards, and studio systems that connect bookings, delivery, communication, and day-to-day operations into one coherent flow.
Assistants & Automations
Assistant-style tools like EmberPDA that watch for bottlenecks, automate repeatable tasks, and support your workflow without getting in the way of your craft.
We start by understanding your studio, your clients, and the tools you already rely on. No assumptions, just clarity.
We design and craft a system that fits your workflow instead of fighting it — from front-end experience to supporting automations.
As your business evolves, your tools evolve with it. We refine and extend rather than replacing everything every few years.
