A small studio that believes the web can be unhurried and excellent at once.
Ridgeline is a new studio, founded in Napa Valley on a simple idea: that a business’s website should feel as crafted as everything else it makes.
We kept it deliberately small — small enough that we do every project ourselves, and selective enough to do each one well from the very first client on.
I’m Hudson McDonald, a student at Vintage High School in Napa. We started Ridgeline on a simple belief: every business deserves a modern, clean website without paying thousands of dollars for it. We’re glad to take on a wide range of projects — and because Ridgeline is new, yours gets attention a busier studio couldn’t give it, at rates that won’t last.
Being Napa’s youngest design studio isn’t a disclaimer — it’s the reason to hire me. I’m local, I answer my own phone, and my overhead is almost nothing, so your price is a fraction of an agency’s. You get a real person a short drive away who is genuinely invested in getting these first projects right.
Small by design
No account managers, no handoffs. You work directly with the people designing and building your site.
Content first
We design around what you actually need to say — not the other way around. Substance leads.
Built to last
We favor durable, maintainable work over trends, so your site still feels right in five years.
