Northbound StudiosSpring Hill, Tennessee
We’re a small local studio in Spring Hill, Tennessee. We design a business’s whole website first, so the owner can click through the finished site. And after dark, we’re making a game.
01Web design
Every site starts with the business itself: its own photographs, its own words, its own town. Then come the details: editorial type, generous space, and motion that stays smooth on a phone.
We build a new website around what makes a business that business, and send the owner a link.
Screenshots don’t capture the animations, so the link is the best way to see it, ideally on a computer.
Just reply and we can work on getting it live. If you have more photos you’d like in it, we can easily add them.
We’re a small local business ourselves. We just enjoy building these and like helping other small businesses out.
Design concepts
Each one is a design concept: a complete website we designed so the owner could click through their own. None of them is the business’s official website, and every live link says so at the top.
Every Greek word is set in GFS Didot, a classic Greek typeface, beside the restaurant’s own food photography, and on a computer hovering over a dish brings its photo up beside it.

It is set like a printed brochure for a small inn rather than a clinic, with the practice’s own cottage in a tall arch that is the one shape repeated through the page, cream paper, deep indigo ink and a gold brush stroke taken from the practice’s own logo.

The site plays like a reel of her own film, one held frame at a time, set in lettering taken from her own graphics and captioned in her own words, “capturing the beauty of everyday love”.

It reads like a hill-farm almanac in three chapters (Pick, Gather, Stay), with the photo of the farm’s own barn framed in a gable shape that matches the barn’s roof pitch.

The arched window painted on the shop’s own trailer becomes the frame for its photographs, set against charred-wood darks and a single caramel accent, with reveals that fill upward like a cup being poured.

It is built like a roadside sign at supper time, with sign-red condensed capitals on diner cream, close-up food photography, a daily-specials board, and a single line that splits in two as its only mark.

The page is one slow evening at the campground, the yellow moon painted on the camp’s own sign becomes the brand mark and the opening curtain, and the host’s own house rule about the 5 mph speed limit gets a speed-limit plate of its own.

It is set like a golfer’s yardage book, with a flagstick and pennant drawn in code and a scorecard in the hero (18 holes, 5 tees, no sand traps) whose numerals roll into place like an odometer.

The page tells one stay in order, arriving at night with the porch light on, choosing one of two suites, waking to breakfast in the painted dining room, with the tall photos framed in a round-top arch and small labels borrowed from a railway timetable.
