Strategy, design, and direct client support.
Meet the founder

Built with a business operator’s mindset.

I’m Josiah, the founder of Marius Creative Studios. My background in hospitality and business shapes the way I approach design: the goal isn’t simply to make something look good—it’s to help customers trust your business, understand the offer, and take the next step.

You work directly with me from the first conversation through launch. That means clearer communication, faster decisions, and a digital presence built around the realities of running a local business in New York.

Your free first step

Show me the business. I’ll show you the opportunity.

Request a free homepage concept or 10-point digital presence audit. Give me the basics here and I’ll review your current website or social presence before we talk.

No obligation and no pressure to buy.

Submitting opens your email app with these details filled in so nothing gets lost.

Your email draft is ready—send it to complete the request.
Low-risk first step

Not sure what you need? Start free.

Instead of asking you to buy first, I can show you what I would improve and why it matters.

Free 10-point digital audit

I review the areas most likely to affect trust, usability, and conversion.

Website design
Mobile experience
Calls to action
Contact / booking flow
Speed & usability
Local visibility
Brand consistency
Social presence
Trust signals
Offer clarity

Or let me mock up the idea.

If your current site feels dated—or you do not have one—I can create a homepage concept so you can see the direction before committing to a full build.

You get something concrete to react to, not a vague sales pitch.

Simple process

From idea to launch without the confusion.

Each step is designed to keep the project focused on business outcomes rather than unnecessary complexity.

01

Review

We look at your current presence, offer, and customer journey.

02

Direction

I recommend the highest-impact next move and show the concept.

03

Build

Your website, content system, or both are created around that strategy.

04

Grow

We keep improving visibility, content, and conversion over time.

No fake promises.

I will not claim guaranteed rankings, guaranteed revenue, or results that cannot be honestly supported. The goal is a stronger digital presence and a better system for turning attention into opportunities.

No pressure to buy first.

The audit and homepage-concept offers give you a practical way to evaluate my thinking before choosing a paid package.

Ready when you are

Get My Free Concept

Before you purchase

You own your website and accounts. You approve additional costs. Monthly services do not lock you in.

Your website belongs to you

After full payment, you own the custom website work created for your project. Third-party software, fonts, stock assets and platform services remain subject to their licenses. Any pre-existing tools and platform export limitations are identified before purchase.

Your accounts stay in your name

You own your domain and hosting accounts from day one. We use collaborator access wherever supported. You retain control when our work together ends.

No surprise outside costs

Domain registration, hosting, paid plugins, stock assets and other third-party subscriptions are separate unless expressly included in your written scope. We obtain your written approval before adding a paid service. Free hosting is not guaranteed indefinitely.

Clear payment milestones

Business Website ($899): $449.50 to start and $449.50 after approval, before launch or handoff. Premium Website ($1,499): $749.50 at each milestone. Website + Growth setup ($1,199): $599.50 at each milestone, plus a separate $499/month service. Request a deposit invoice before paying. Other fixed-price projects are paid upfront unless an alternative is agreed in writing.

Revisions without confusion

Each package includes its listed revision rounds. One round means one consolidated feedback list within the agreed scope. Corrections to our errors do not consume a round. New pages, features or changes in direction are quoted separately and require approval.

A timeline you can plan around

We confirm your written timeline after receiving the required content, access and initial payment. Delayed materials or approvals may move delivery dates; we communicate a revised schedule rather than silently missing a deadline.

Monthly service without a long-term lock-in

New monthly plans, including Website + Growth, are month-to-month and renew automatically at the agreed monthly price until canceled. The first charge date and renewal terms are confirmed before enrollment. There is no three-month minimum or cancellation penalty.

Simple cancellation

Email josiah@mariuscreativestudios.com before your next billing date to stop the next renewal. Include your business name and billing email, but no payment-card details. We honor the time your request arrives and confirm cancellation by email. Service continues through the paid period; partial months are not normally prorated, except where required by law or where we fail to deliver the agreed service.

Fair project refunds

If a project is canceled, we provide an itemized accounting of work completed and approved nonrecoverable expenses, using the milestone values or rates agreed before work begins. We refund the unused balance. A deposit is not automatically forfeited. Statutory rights are not limited by this policy.

Support and a proper handoff

Business Website includes 14 days of post-launch support; Premium includes 30 days. During that period, defects in our delivered work are corrected without an extra charge. New features, third-party failures and client-made changes are separate work. Handoff includes the agreed files, access and a basic walkthrough after full payment.

What happens after payment

You receive a payment receipt, then complete the client onboarding brief. We confirm the scope, materials, schedule and next milestone before production. Paying for a website alone does not enroll you in monthly service.

Honest expectations

We commit to the agreed deliverables and professional execution, not guaranteed rankings, leads or revenue. These policies apply to new engagements agreed under them; existing signed agreements are not changed retroactively.
