A one-person studio for the contractors I already work with.

CMMM Studios is run out of Los Angeles by someone who's been in the sign trade since 2018 — quoting jobs, walking shops, and watching good contractors lose work to competitors with marginally better websites. I started this studio in 2021 to fix that, one site at a time. No meetings. Days, not months.

A note from the founder

I've worked in the commercial sign trade since 2018 — quoting channel letters, monument signs, and storefront builds for contractors, restaurants, and retail across LA County. That's also where I run my own signage company, Genius Signs & Lighting Corp. Between the day job and my own shop, I've walked into hundreds of contractor offices to quote work. I'd leave most of them thinking the same thing: this business is losing jobs to competitors whose only real advantage is a slightly better website.

I'd ask, "do you have a website?" The answer was almost always one of three: "No, we get everything from word of mouth." "My cousin built one in 2017." Or: "Yeah, but the guy who built it ghosted us."

Meanwhile, the national chains that pulled into the same neighborhoods had clean, fast sites that ranked on Google Maps, answered questions in the hero section, and booked calls at 2am.

That's not a design problem. It's a systems problem. Most contractors aren't getting outsold — they're getting out-infrastructured.

Why this studio exists

I founded CMMM Studios in April 2021 to be the option I kept wishing existed for the contractors I was already selling signs to. Agencies charge $5,000+ for a site and make you sit through four meetings to get it. Freelancers are cheaper but disappear mid-project. Template platforms work if you have thirty hours to spare — you don't.

CMMM Studios is the middle option that didn't exist: a productized studio. You pick a package, fill out one form, we build it, you approve it, it goes live. Flat price. No meetings. Full refund if you don't like what we ship.

I use modern tooling — including AI-assisted development — to deliver in days what a traditional agency takes months to produce. The result is the same: a fast, clean, SEO-ready site on your own domain. The difference is the turnaround and the invoice.

Who this is for

Contractors and local service businesses in LA County, Orange County, and the Inland Empire. Plumbers, electricians, HVAC, roofers, general contractors, landscapers, painters, concrete, handyman. If you're booking jobs by phone and your site is a PDF brochure from 2018, we should talk.

If you need a bespoke e-commerce build, an app, or a SaaS marketing site — this isn't for you, and I'll tell you that up front.

Three principles we don't bend on.

Principle 01

Your time is more valuable than ours.

Every process here is built to keep you off Zoom and on the jobsite. Forms, not meetings. Previews, not sales pitches.

Principle 02

A website is a selling tool, not a brochure.

Every page we ship has a job: book the call, capture the lead, rank in Maps. If a feature doesn't earn its keep, it doesn't ship.

Principle 03

Pricing is never a surprise.

Three packages. Public prices. Fixed add-ons. You'll never get a bill with a line item you didn't expect.

Let's build the site your business actually deserves.
