Big-agency ambition.
Small-studio attention.
Built at a different pace.

Your business has its own character. Your website should, too. We bring sharp strategy, distinctive design, and modern technology together to help the right people find you—and choose you.

For the
local legends.

The corner café. The neighborhood salon. The place everyone tells their friends about. We build websites with that same sense of belonging.

Restaurants & cafés

Give them a taste.
Get them through the door.

Beautiful menus, a feel for the atmosphere, and a clear path to a table.

All the craft.
None of the drag.

Modern tools help us move fast. Experienced eyes make it feel right. You work directly with the people doing the work, from the first idea to the final detail.

We get to know your business, your customers, and what your website needs to do. Clear direction before the first design.

A small house.
A lot of heart.

We’re Marcelo and Abbie.
Your neighbors. Your creative team.

Three kids, one dog, and a shared belief that small businesses deserve exceptional design. We built Origin House in Lake Oswego to make that happen.

Marcelo leads design and development. Abbie keeps the project and the conversation moving. From your first hello to life after launch, it’s us.

A few good questions

Let’s clear
things up.

How fast can we get started?

Tell us what you need and when you need it. We’ll outline a realistic schedule around your scope, content, and feedback. Our small team and modern workflow keep things moving without layers of handoffs.

Can you redesign my existing website?

Absolutely. We look at what’s working, what’s getting in the way, and what your customers need. Then we recommend a clear path forward, including the right approach to your existing content and platform.

What happens after launch?

We offer hosting and ongoing care, with the scope and cost agreed before we begin. When you have new hours, services, photos, or other updates, you have a team to call.

Do you only work with Oregon businesses?

Lake Oswego is home, and local businesses are our specialty. We’re happy to work with good people elsewhere, too.

unforgettable?
