Independent software studio
Drift with direction.
Elise Barnes creates websites, web applications, and clear digital systems for ideas that need movement without losing their center.
01 / Route
From loose current to working product.
Set the course
Design a lean interface system, build the key flows, and keep the decisions visible as the work moves.
Make landfall
Ship the site or app with deployment, domain setup, and a handoff that does not leave the project adrift.
02 / Systems
Useful things should feel easy to steer.
Surface
Brand sites, landing pages, portfolios, launch pages
Product
Web apps, dashboards, internal tools, prototypes
Release
Vercel deployment, DNS, integrations, clean handoff
A good interface feels like tide and compass together: quiet enough to trust, clear enough to follow.
