Websites & mobile apps for small business
ClearStack Studio designs and builds custom websites and mobile apps for small and mid-size businesses. Fixed pricing, a plain-spoken process, and no agency jargon — from first call to launch day.
Services
Four services, one studio. You can start with a website and add the rest as you grow.
A website built for your business — not a template with your logo on it.
One build, both app stores — an app your customers keep on their phones.
Launch or re-launch your channel, then keep it fed with Shorts — we relaunched our own two channels with this exact playbook.
After launch, get help when you need it — quoted up front, no subscription.
Our work
A look at what we've been building — for clients, for the public, and in the workshop.
Websites and tools built for real shops and service businesses.
Concept for Tea Brick · Arcadia, CA
Bubble tea shop website & online ordering
A complete redesign of a local bubble tea shop's website with pickup ordering built in — full menu, cart, and secure checkout, without a third-party ordering service in the middle.
Concept for Ocean Pacific Travel · Monterey Park, CA
Travel agency website with self-serve tour management
A modern concept site for a Monterey Park travel agency — destination photography, tour listings with detail pages, and a password-protected admin so the owner can update packages and photos without touching code.
Concept for neighborhood barbershops
Booking + loyalty web app for barbershops
A mobile-first booking flow with built-in loyalty — pick a service, choose a barber, grab a time slot, and earn Fresh Cut Club rewards. Designed to run on Square Appointments under the hood.
Concept for Roxanne Cosmetics
Cosmetics boutique website & online ordering
A click-through demo boutique for a cosmetics and fragrance shop — product catalog with elegant visuals, shopping bag, and Square sandbox checkout.
Concept for local service businesses
Review aggregation dashboard with AI-drafted responses
A command center for a business's online reputation — Google reviews in one feed (Yelp coming soon), a needs-attention queue for unhappy customers, and editable AI-drafted responses to every review.
Our own products — live, public, and free to try.

NFL prediction model with a public track record
A fundamentals-only NFL forecasting site: weekly picks published before kickoff, every result graded and tracked in public — including a 45-season backtest shown honestly, losses and all.

Pokémon card price game — Higher or Lower?
A daily guessing game built on real card prices: you're shown a Pokémon card and its market price — is the next card worth higher or lower? One miss ends the run. An unofficial fan project, and the playful front door to CardTome.

AI trip-planning app for iOS
An iOS app that turns a short style quiz into a day-by-day itinerary — every stop explains why it fits you, with one-tap swaps, day map pins, and trips stored on your device. Currently in TestFlight.

Stock tracker & paper-trading pick'em game

Inventory scanner app for iOS & Android
One app for everything you own or sell: scan a barcode and the item is logged with its current value — home inventory, shop stock, and reseller shelves. Pokémon cards too, when they're stock to sell.

Pokémon card collection tracker for iOS
A focused companion for card collectors — Pokémon cards only, nothing else: scan or search any card, see its live market value, and watch your collection's worth.
Process
Four steps, no mystery. You'll always know what's happening, what it costs, and when it's done.
We talk through what your business needs and what success looks like. You get a fixed quote in writing — no hourly billing, no surprises later.
We design and build your website or app, and you see real progress along the way — not a big reveal at the end. Your feedback shapes it as we go.
We test everything, handle the technical launch details, and make sure you're comfortable running it before we hand over the keys.
You own everything — domain, hosting, and code. We hand over the keys with a walkthrough, and flat-fee help is there whenever you need it.
Pricing
Every project is quoted at a fixed price after a short discovery call — the quote is the price you pay. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices.
The starting points below are illustrative — your written quote is what counts.
from $3,000
A custom website designed and built for your business.
from $8,000
An iPhone and Android app from a single codebase.
$1,495
Launch or re-launch your channel, then keep it fed with Shorts.
from $150
Flat-fee help after launch — quoted before work begins.
Not sure what you need? Tell us about your project and we'll recommend the right fit — honestly, even if that means telling you a website builder would do.
About
We're ClearStack Studio. We don't just design mockups — we build and ship real software, including our own apps. When you hire us, the person you talk to is the person building your project.
Clear means how we work: transparent fixed pricing, plain-spoken updates, and no jargon. Stack means what we build: the full stack, from your website to your mobile app, handled end to end.
Most agencies hand your project down a chain of account managers and juniors. We stay small on purpose: senior builders, direct communication, and software we're proud to put our name on. If something isn't right for your business, we'll tell you — even if it costs us the sale.
Contact
A short note is all it takes. We'll reply within two business days with honest next steps — including whether we're the right fit.
