Custom Builds
With over 30 years of combined experience building brands, Frame(play) is happy to offer full-service websites and branding for small service-based creative businesses. Our difference is twofold:
- We work holistically - not just on one piece of your business. After years of building presence for small businesses, we know the traps and pitfalls and work to make sure you understand clearly and are able to reach your goals.
- We only support small service businesses - providing services as a solopreneur or very small company is a specific niche and has very specific challenges. We work with your unique gifts and goals to make your work accessible to more people.
