The Storefront Project
Showing local businesses what’s possible online.

A real track record, now pointed at local business.
I’m Jarred, founder of Studio O’Brien. I’ve built and shipped websites for clients across the country and inside agencies, and I brought that experience home to Shelby to help local owners get found. Everything is designed and coded by the same person who answers your calls. No account managers, no offshore handoff, no agency markup.
Every project starts with how your customers actually look for you, and the site gets built around that: fast on a phone, a Google listing kept right, and words that sound like you. The promise is simple: original work, honest communication, and one person you can always reach.

What owners across the Carolinas ask before they start.
Answered straight. No fine print.
How much does a website cost?
It depends on what the business needs, so I quote after a short conversation, not before. You get one plain number that covers the build, hosting, upkeep, your Google profile, and the changes along the way, and it doesn’t creep up later.
Tell me what you need and I’ll give you a straight answer.
What if I don’t like what you build?
You see your homepage built before you commit to anything. If it isn’t right, we fix it, or you walk away.
How long does a website take to build?
Your homepage comes back first, so you see real work early. A full site usually takes three to six weeks from kickoff. The biggest variable is how ready your copy and photos are, and I help with both, so a slow start doesn’t stall the build.
What happens after launch?
I stay on. Hosting, upkeep, edits, and your Google profile are handled for you. When something needs changing, you call or text the same person who built it. No ticket queue, no account manager.
Do you help with Google and getting found locally?
Yes, it is part of the job. Your Google Business Profile gets set up and kept right, and the site is built so Google can read it. For most local businesses the map listing brings more calls than the website does, so the two are handled together.
What if I only have a Facebook page, or nothing yet?
That is common, and it is fine. I help with the structure, the writing, and the photo direction from scratch.
If you already have a website, I rebuild it and move it over carefully, so the pages Google already knows keep working.
Do you only work with businesses in Shelby?
No. I’m based in Shelby and know Cleveland, Gaston, Lincoln, Rutherford, and Catawba counties well, but I work with independent businesses anywhere in the Carolinas and beyond.
