PACIFIC NORTHWEST ROOTS. REMOTE BY DESIGN.Websites that look the part.
Tools that do the work.
SHARP DESIGN. USEFUL IDEAS. HUMAN DIRECTION.
SELECTED CONCEPTS / 01—02
Two different challenges.
One thoughtful approach.
Explore the experiences, not just the pictures. These self-initiated concepts show our approach to visual design and practical functionality.
PAINTING & FINISHES
An editorial website for a fictional painting studio. Warm typography, architectural color studies, and a clear path from inspiration to inquiry.
A working prototype that turns supplier spreadsheets into a traceable purchasing plan, with size checks, stock warnings, and delivery costs.
Both projects are original portfolio concepts, not paid client commissions. Explore “Behind the build” for tested features and current limits.

Plan my business siteIncluded with new website builds: a private preview, mobile and inquiry-flow checks, an agreed ownership handoff, and 30 days of corrections for defects in the agreed work.
A starting price, not a surprise bill. Your fixed quote confirms deliverables, timing, revisions, and payment milestones before work begins. Extra pages, migrations, original copywriting, and custom functionality are quoted separately.
Domain, hosting, email, and paid third-party services are separate costs disclosed in your proposal. Ongoing help is optional. No payment is collected when you inquire.
Content updates and improvements are available in defined, quoted batches. No unlimited-edit promise hiding a very limited human.
Ask about updates ↗Calculators, guided forms, and spreadsheet-based tools are scoped individually. Stores, bookings, and integrations need a feasibility review and a separate quote.
Tell us about your idea ↗OPTIONAL / PLAN IN MORE DETAIL

GOOD FOUNDATIONS AREN’T EXTRAS
Responsive layouts, clear navigation, accessible controls, and a direct path to the next step.
Descriptive page titles, useful content, sensible structure, and indexing setup for public sites.
Agree source files, account access, licenses, and editing instructions before work begins.
Use the simplest platform that does the job. Document paid services, updates, and future responsibilities.
ALREADY HAVE A WEBSITE?
A two-minute self-review. Answer from your own website and leave with a prioritized action list.
This is a guided checklist, not an automated site scan or an accessibility certification.
A GOOD PROCESS LEAVES LESS TO GUESS.
HOW WE WORK / 01—04The audience, the job your site needs to do, and the constraints that matter.
Pages, features, deliverables, revisions, cost, and timing agreed before the build.
Review the direction early. Refine the details with clear, focused feedback.
Check the agreed functionality and provide the files, access, and editing guidance you need.
SourceSamurai works remotely with businesses in Oregon, Washington, and beyond. It is an independent practice led by Sebastiana Isabella, bringing creative direction and AI-assisted development together. The goal is thoughtful work and a straightforward working relationship.
BEFORE YOU ASK
A website. Not another relationship you can’t get out of.
No membership required. Start with a defined project or a batch of improvements. Ongoing help is optional. Hosting, domains, and third-party tools can still have recurring charges, which are listed separately in your proposal.
Focused improvements start at $350, one-page sites at $1,250, and business websites at $2,500 USD. These are starting prices, not automatic quotes. We review your needs and confirm a fixed price in writing. Domain, hosting, and paid third-party services are listed separately.
We start by reviewing the platform, account access, and the changes you need. Some sites need a focused improvement; others need a rebuild. Platform compatibility is confirmed before a proposal.
Yes, when editing is part of the agreed build. We choose an appropriate content system and provide written instructions. A simple custom-coded site may be a better fit when content rarely changes.
We can scope these into a project using established services. Payments, booking accounts, email delivery, and AI providers need their own configuration and may carry fees. We confirm feasibility and ongoing responsibility before committing.
No. We can improve design, clarity, technical foundations, and the path to an inquiry. Traffic and sales also depend on your offer, market, content, and marketing. Any measurement or marketing work gets its own defined scope.
Your business name, the job you want the website to do, and any existing website are enough for the first conversation. Helpful extras include your logo, service details, photos you have permission to use, and a few examples you like.
Unsure about the platform or hosting? Say so. We’ll identify the access needed after reviewing the project. Please don’t send passwords through the inquiry form.
A focused fix and a complete website need different schedules. We confirm a start date, review milestones, and a target launch after checking scope and availability. Content, feedback, and third-party integrations can affect timing.
Website builds include two consolidated revision rounds. A deposit reserves the project, with the balance due after approval and before public launch. Your written proposal sets the amounts, deliverables, and third-party costs; improvement batches have their own agreed revision allowance. If you request work beyond that scope, we agree the cost and timing before proceeding. Sending an inquiry does not commit you to a project or charge.
The agreed site files or platform access, written editing notes, and a list of services the site depends on. Ownership and any third-party license restrictions are specified in the proposal. New website builds include a 30-day correction period after launch for defects in the agreed work. New features and content changes are quoted separately. Future help is optional.
SourceSamurai is led by Sebastiana Isabella. Creative direction and AI-assisted development support a direct, collaborative process. We work remotely with businesses in Oregon, Washington, and beyond.
