Free design first.
Decide after.
You only pay if you love the site we make for you. Most studios won't show you the work until you've signed a contract. We think that's backwards.
Three weeks. Three steps.
Tell us about your program
We hop on a call (or you can write it all out — whichever you prefer). We want to hear about your space, your families, the parents who never seem to find you. We'll ask for a few photos and your hours. That's it. No questionnaires, no homework, no creative brief.
- What you love about your program
- Who you wish would walk through the door
- A few photos — taken on a phone is fine
- Your real hours and tour days
We send you a real site
Not a mockup. Not a Figma file. A site you can open on your phone, send to your spouse, show to your families. It's hosted on a temporary URL like sunnydays.smallseats.studio. You get a link in your inbox.
- A live, working site — every page
- Mobile and desktop both done
- Your real photos, your real words
- A loom video walking you through it
You decide
If you love it, we move it to your domain and start hosting. $39/month, all in. You can leave anytime — we'll hand over the code. If you don't love it, write us back and tell us why. We'll either fix it or part as friends. We won't ask why twice.
- Yes — we move it live, you start hosting
- Almost — we tweak based on your notes
- No — you keep our work, we keep our name
A site is a feeling, not a feature list.
Parents don't read your bullet points. They look at one photo and decide. We design for that look.
Photos beat copy.
One real photo of your space is worth a paragraph of mission statement. We help you take better ones if yours aren't quite right.
Tools should disappear.
You shouldn't think about your site. You should think about the kids. We host, we update, we fix. You teach.
Small is the point.
We won't take 50 clients. We take twelve a year. That's how we keep the work this careful.
One price. Everything.

Need something bigger — multi-location, custom integrations, a parent portal? Tell us. We'll quote a flat fee and treat it the same: free design, pay only when you love it.
What's the catch with free? +
There isn't one. We'd rather show you the work than sell you on it. Most studios spend half their time pitching. We'd rather just build.
What if I already have a site? +
Even better — we have something to react to. We'll either redesign it or tell you it's already good and you should leave it alone. We've done both.
Who owns the site? +
You do. Always. If you ever leave, we hand over the code, the domain, the photos. You keep everything.
Can I edit the site myself? +
Small edits — yes, easy. We use a friendly editor. Big structural changes — write us, we'll do it the same week. It's included.
Why only daycares? +
Because we got really good at it. The questions parents ask, the photos that work, the way to write about a teacher — it's all specific. We don't want to start over for someone else's industry.
