Foundworks

Websites that get local businesses found, and hired.

Foundworks is a two person studio in Orange County. We design and build the website, the brand around it, and the Google presence that points people to it.

You work directly with the people doing the design and the build.

Selected work

A look at what we build.

We are a young studio, so this is concept work: full homepage designs prepared for real prospective clients. Each one is clearly labeled. Neither is a live site, and neither uses the named business's actual logo or branding.

Built around the work, not a template

A concept for a full-service wrap and print shop: vehicle wraps, fleet graphics, screen printing, embroidery, signage. This layout treats that range as the selling point, with wrap and vehicle photography doing the talking and one clear way to request a quote.

One clear next step

Call, book, or request a quote. Every page is built around a single action, repeated where it makes sense and nowhere it does not.

Fast on a phone

Images are sized properly, fonts load without blocking, and the layout is readable at arm's length in daylight.

Yours to run

You get a site you can update yourself, plus the option to hand the small stuff back to us.

Services

Everything a local business needs to show up online.

Hire us for the whole thing or one piece of it. Most clients start with the website and add the brand and local search around it. Every engagement is scoped and priced up front, with no open ended retainer.

01

Website design & development

The core of what we do. We plan the pages around the one or two actions that matter, design them, write with you on the words, and build the site by hand in clean code. It loads fast, works on a phone, and comes with a simple way for you to make edits.

Sitemap and plan, page design, copywriting support, responsive build, lead forms, analytics, domain and launch, a walkthrough so you can run it.

02

Brand identity

A logo, a small color and type system, and the rules that keep them consistent everywhere your business shows up: the sign, the invoice, the truck, the site.

03

Google & local presence

We set up or clean up your Google Business Profile, make your details consistent across the major directories, and handle the on page basics so you turn up when someone nearby searches.

04

Ongoing support

After launch, a flat monthly plan covers small edits, seasonal updates, hosting, backups, and a check in on performance. Cancel any time.

How a project runs

Three steps, with a fixed price agreed before any design work starts.

1

Consultation

We talk through your business, your customers, and what the site needs to do. You leave with a written plan and a fixed price.

2

Design & build

We design the pages, work with you on the wording, and build the site by hand. You review real screens, not slideshow mockups.

3

Launch & grow

We launch, connect your domain and Google profile, then stay on to make small improvements as the business changes.

About

Two people, one studio, in Orange County.

Foundworks Digital Co. is Zach Padilla and Logan Lavoie. We started it because most local businesses get handed one of two things: a cheap template that looks like everyone else, or an agency retainer priced for a company ten times their size. There is very little in between. We build the in between.

How we work

Small on purpose. You talk to the people doing the work, so nothing gets lost in a handoff. We take on a handful of projects at a time and give each one real attention.

Every site is built by hand. No page builder, no bought template. That takes a little longer up front and pays off every time you need to change something later.

And we price the whole scope before we start, so you are never watching a meter run.

The two of us

Zach Padilla
Design, brand, and client relationships

Leads the look of every project and stays the point of contact from the first call to launch. Handles brand identity and the words on the page.

Logan Lavoie
Development, performance, and hosting

Turns the design into fast, hand written code, sets up hosting and backups, and keeps sites quick and stable after launch.
