Introducing
Pixel Studio Templates
A professionally designed website, without the long wait.
Some businesses need a big custom website. Many just need a beautiful one, up and running, that tells customers who they are and how to reach them.
Over the years, I’ve noticed a common thread in what small business owners struggle with. It isn’t always the design. It’s everything around it: plugin and platform upkeep, the time it takes to get started, the wait for a custom project, and recurring platform fees.
So I built something to make getting online simpler: Pixel Studio Templates.
What Pixel Studio Templates is
Pixel Studio Templates is my shop for ready-made websites. Each design is created by me, with the same care I put into custom work, then set up with your business name, colors, photos, and words.
The designs are grouped into collections, each made for a specific kind of business:
- The Studio Collection: dance, yoga, Pilates, pottery, and other class-based studios
- Home Services: plumbers, electricians, cleaning companies, and landscapers
- Health & Beauty: hair salons, nail salons, massage therapists, and skincare studios
More collections are on the way. Each design starts with what that business’s customers are likely to need, so you have a useful foundation from day one. Visit the shop to see the designs currently available.
How it works
Choose it. Make it yours. Get it live.
1. Pick a design. Browse the collections and preview each design as a real, working website.
2. Make it yours. A guided builder walks you through choosing your sections, colors, and photos and adding your business details.
3. Check out, or talk to me first. Pay online when you’re ready, or get in touch if you’d like help with anything.
4. Launch. I review everything and put your site live on your own domain.
Your site is set up in an account that belongs to you, and your domain is yours. There’s no required monthly website-builder subscription. Domain renewals are an ongoing cost; optional editing tools, support, custom work, or additional services are priced separately. I’ll explain what applies to your setup before you move forward.
Your choices after launch
Once your site is live, how you keep the content up to date is your call.
- Leave the changes to me. Choose ongoing support or request updates as needed, with the scope and cost agreed in advance.
- Make changes yourself with Pixel Studio Live Edit. Add the editor for a one-time fee and update the editable content whenever you like.
New: edit your own site after it’s live
Meet Pixel Studio Live Edit.
Live Edit is the same editor I build into my hand-coded client sites. You log in to a private edit page and see your actual website, then make changes in the editable areas. Here’s how it works:
| What you can do | How it works |
|---|---|
| Change your words | Click an editable heading, sentence, or button and type. |
| Color your words | Highlight words and choose one of your brand colors. |
| Change your photos | Upload from your computer, search connected free stock libraries, or reuse a previous photo. |
| Preview your edits | Make your changes before clicking Save to put them live. |
| Undo a mistake | Undo changes before saving. |
| Restore a saved version | Preview a previous saved version and restore it. |
| Keep the layout consistent | The design layout stays locked while you edit content. |
| Control access | Use a password-protected edit page, with the option to set your password. |
Live Edit is a one-time add-on, rather than a monthly editor subscription. It’s designed for content changes, such as words and photos. New layouts, pages, or features are separate work. If you’d rather not edit the site yourself, we can arrange ongoing or occasional support.
Need something extra? Just ask
If your business needs something beyond the design, like an extra page, a photo gallery, or a custom section, let’s talk about it. Add-ons and customizations cost extra, and I’ll quote the work before it starts.
You’ll know what is included, what costs extra, and what you’re agreeing to. No guessing your way through a growing list of charges.
Is a ready-made site right for you?
The honest pros and tradeoffs.
What works well
- Professional design with a shorter starting process than a fully custom build
- A layout created with your type of business in mind
- Working previews so you can explore the design before buying
- A focused site without WordPress core, theme, or plugin updates to manage
- No required website-builder subscription, with your own site account and domain
What to consider
You’re starting from an existing design, so it isn’t exclusive to your business. The collection is intended for focused, brochure-style sites; blogs, online stores, and member areas aren’t included.
Bigger layout changes, new pages, and additional features are custom work. A lightweight site can still need content updates, occasional technical attention, or maintenance of connected tools over time.
Live Edit, or leave it to me?
| Live Edit | I make the changes | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Owners who regularly update hours, prices, specials, or photos | Owners who rarely change the site or prefer to hand updates over |
| How changes happen | You edit the available content and save | You send me the requested changes |
| Timing | Changes go live when you save | We agree timing based on the work and my availability |
| Design | The layout stays locked during content editing | I keep the design consistent |
| Mistakes | Restore an available saved version | I handle the correction |
You don’t have to decide on day one. Live Edit can be added later, once your site is live.
Take a look.
If you’ve been putting off a website because a custom project felt like too much, this may be the place to start. Every design is one I’d be proud to put my name on, and I’m still here after launch.
