Forge & Ember Studios designs and builds custom websites, portals, and assistant-style tools that match how you actually work. No theme shopping, no drag-and-drop templates—just systems built around your workflow.
Ember can handle uploads, update galleries, and send client notifications, so you can stay focused on the work only you can do.

Most of our projects fall into three main areas. The details are different for every client, but these are the types of systems we build most often.
From simple marketing sites to full client portals, we design and build websites using up-to-date web tools. The structure, content, and flows are shaped around your business—not a generic theme.
We design tools like EmberPDA—web-based assistants that help keep track of tasks, follow-ups, and client steps, with light automation so routine work doesn't depend on memory alone.
For photographers, artists, leatherworkers, and other studios, we help connect the full path from first contact to final delivery—without forcing you into someone else's idea of a workflow.
The steps change slightly from project to project, but the core approach stays the same: understand the real work first, then build a system that makes that work easier to do.
01 · Discover
We talk through your current setup, what's working, what isn't, and what “better” would look like—for you, your team, and your clients.
02 · Build
We design, prototype, and develop the site or tool, checking in with you as we go so nothing drifts away from how you actually work.
03 · Support
After launch, we keep the system healthy: fixing issues, making improvements, and expanding as your work and client base grow.
Not every project starts with a detailed plan. If all you know is that your current tools are slowing you down, that's enough. We'll help turn the way you work into a clear, workable system.
