custom website solutions for Los Angeles small businesses

Selected Work

Fifteen recent projects. Each one has a page explaining what the problem was, what we built, and what changed afterwards.

What We do ?

Everything under one roof, so nothing gets lost between a designer, a developer and a copywriter at three different companies.

Branding

A brand your team can apply without calling us every time. Naming support, logo system, color and typography, usage guidelines, stationery, signage, social and presentation templates.

Typically 3–5 weeks · Often paired with a website build

A site built around the one thing you need visitors to do.

Content strategy and sitemap, UX wireframes, visual design, WordPress or custom build, accessibility pass, analytics and call tracking, launch and redirects.

Typically 6–10 weeks · The core of most projects

A store that holds up during your busiest week, not just your quietest.

WooCommerce or Shopify build, catalog and variant structure, checkout optimization, payments, shipping and tax setup, inventory integration, post-launch conversion review.

Typically 8–14 weeks

For software, portals and apps — where the interface is the product.

User research and interviews, information architecture, interactive prototypes, design systems and component libraries, developer handoff and QA support.

Typically 3–5 weeks · Often paired with a website build

Everything the site needs that isn’t a stock photo.

Custom illustration, 2D and 3D graphics, motion and animation, video production and editing, photography direction, and copy support when you need it.

Runs alongside the build · Also available standalone

Be the answer, not the twelfth blue link.

Technical foundations, page structure and internal linking, schema markup, local and service-area SEO, Google Business Profile, and content structured so AI answer engines cite you rather than a competitor.

Built into every site · Available as an ongoing engagement

FAQ

Everything you need to know before getting started.
What are your core services as a design and branding agency?

At Brainbox, design is never just about visuals — it’s about clarity, usability, and long-term value. We started as one of the early web and digital design studios and evolved into a full-service branding, web design, and digital solutions agency.

Today, our work spans branding, website design, eCommerce, UI/UX design, and custom digital platforms. We help businesses build new brands, refine existing ones, and modernize websites, products, and user experiences.

Our team handles the full process in-house — from strategy and UX planning to visual design, development, and launch. Depending on the project, this may include brand identity design, user experience design, UI design, prototyping, custom WordPress or eCommerce development, and ongoing support.

We also provide creative production services such as graphic design, illustration, 2D/3D visuals, motion elements, and content support when needed. SEO best practices are integrated into our web projects to ensure strong technical foundations, though SEO can also be handled as a separate service if required.

We believe long-term partnerships matter more than one-off projects. Many of our clients stay with us for years — not just because of design quality, but because we’re reliable, transparent, and easy to work with.

You work directly with our core team, not account layers. Senior designers and technical leads are involved in every project, ensuring consistency, attention to detail, and realistic execution.

Unlike agencies that separate branding, UX, and development, we bring everything together under one roof. This allows us to create designs that not only look good but actually work — technically, strategically, and commercially.

Our experience ranges from startups to established companies, which allows us to balance creative agility with structured, professional project management. Everything we design is built to scale and age well, not to be redesigned every year.

Yes. Brainbox is based in Glendale, California, but we work with clients across the U.S. and internationally. Over the years, we’ve collaborated with teams in different time zones and have built smooth remote workflows to support that.

We use structured communication, shared project tools, and clear timelines to keep projects moving efficiently. Meetings are scheduled with time-zone differences in mind, and we prioritize responsiveness and clarity at every stage.

Project costs depend on scope, complexity, and timeline. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all pricing, because every business has different needs.

We offer flexible engagement models, including fixed-price projects, phased builds, and ongoing retainers. After an initial discussion and project brief, we provide a clear proposal outlining deliverables, timeline, and cost.

For businesses that need something more straightforward, we also offer structured website and eCommerce packages that cover the essentials in a cost-effective way.

Absolutely. We work with startups, growing businesses, and established companies alike. Startups often come to us for branding, MVP websites, or eCommerce launches, while larger companies rely on us for redesigns, expansions, and ongoing support.

We understand budget realities and growth stages, and we help clients make smart decisions that won’t limit them later. Our goal is to build strong foundations that can evolve as the business grows.

Yes. Many of our projects involve redesigning or improving existing websites, eCommerce stores, or digital platforms.

We focus on usability, performance, clarity, and scalability — not just aesthetics. Depending on the project, this may include restructuring content, improving UX/UI, modernizing the visual identity, optimizing performance, and rebuilding the site on a more flexible platform like WordPress or WooCommerce.
