About

§ About the studio

We build on the
web, deliberately.

Studio Kerning is an independent web development studio based in Brisbane, working with clients worldwide. Founded in 2019, we’ve shipped 142+ projects for brands, startups, and creators who care about craft as much as we do.

Slow is fast.

We believe the best websites take their time. A week spent on architecture saves a month of rework. An afternoon spent on typography saves a lifetime of regret.

We don’t chase trends. We pick the stack that fits the problem — sometimes that’s Next.js, sometimes it’s plain HTML and CSS. The point is always the same: fast, accessible, maintainable, beautiful.

We work with one client at a time. No pipelines, no account managers, no offshore subcontracting. The person you email is the person writing your code.

§ 01

Clarity

Plain language, honest estimates, and weekly updates. You always know where your project stands and what’s coming next.

§ 02

Craft

Semantic markup, considered typography, and animations that earn their place. We obsess over the details most people won’t notice.

§ 03

Ownership

Code you can read. Docs you can follow. A site you can maintain without us — or with us, if you’d rather.

Two people. One studio.

Ten years of building for the web, previously at two Sydney agencies. Writes the code, ships the sites, answers the emails. Partial to good espresso and the phrase “it depends.”
