Born in Brentwood · built for anywhere The independent web, done first class Est. 2026 — preview before you pay
CM14 Studio builds fast, modern websites — and the social presence to match — for businesses that want to stand out, wherever they are. Born in Brentwood, built for anywhere: if you can open a link, we can work together.
The work
Three example builds for the kinds of business we work with — fictional businesses, real standard. What you see isn't a screenshot: each plate is the actual site, running live. Open one and press everything.
Every frame is interactive on its own page — tooth explorer, style finder, before-and-after slider. The demos are the pitch.
Services
No sprawling menu of buzzwords. A growing business needs a site that wins customers, a presence that keeps them coming, and someone who keeps it all sharp.
Fast, secure, mobile-first sites designed to turn searches into calls and bookings. Modern standards as the baseline, not the upsell: HTTPS, working analytics, metadata Google actually reads, and pages that load before your customer loses interest.
Profiles claimed and set up properly — Google Business Profile included — all connected to your site, with a simple content rhythm you can actually keep up. Or we keep it up for you.
Websites shouldn't rot. Price changes, new photos, seasonal pages, security patches and backups handled on a simple monthly plan — so your site never carries "© 2024" in 2026.
The method
No deposits for promises. We build the concept up front, you see it working on your own phone, and only then do we talk money.
We review what you've got — site, socials, Google presence — and tell you honestly what's costing you customers.
We design your new site as a working preview you can open, tap and share. You see it working before you pay a pound.
Love it? We take it live on your domain, wire up booking or quote forms, and hand you the keys.
A care plan keeps it fresh and secure; the social presence keeps customers coming through the door.
The studio
Behind CM14 Studio is Sam — Brentwood-based, with a background installing and building the physical side of business IT: desks, meeting rooms, networks, screens. The same standard now applies to the online side.
The studio works modern: AI-assisted design and research, human judgment on everything that ships. That's how a small studio delivers big-agency quality at independent prices — without pretending to be something it isn't. No invented team page, no made-up client counts. The work above is the pitch.
The founding offer
CM14 Studio is new, and we're building our reputation the honest way. Our first clients get founding rates and the same standard you see in the work above — and all we ask in return is a testimonial, when (and only when) you're happy. No fake scarcity, no countdown clocks. Just a fair trade while the studio earns its name.

Straight answer: it depends on size — but you always get a fixed quote before any work is billed. No day rates, no creeping extras. And because you preview the site working first, you know exactly what you're paying for before you pay it.
A typical business site goes from first chat to working preview in about a week, and live shortly after you approve it. Rebuilds of existing sites usually run to the same rhythm.
Yes — completely. The domain is registered in your name, the site and its content are yours, and if you ever move on you take everything with you. No hostage-taking, ever.
We set up fast, secure hosting and professional email on your own domain, in accounts you control. It's billed transparently — either passed through at cost or wrapped into your care plan, your choice.
Often, yes. We review it honestly: if it needs small fixes we'll say so and do them. If a rebuild is genuinely the cheaper path, we'll build the preview and let the work make the argument — you decide with both options in front of you.
