Websites that make people curious
Try another voice
I'm Kelvin. I design and build thoughtful websites for people and businesses that have something worth saying.
What I do
A website that does its job.
Not just a pretty page. A clear, fast, memorable place for people to understand what you offer and decide to get in touch.
Every project is built to be fast, accessible, and easy to update. No page-builder bloat, no mystery invoices.
Build & launch
I turn the design into a fast, responsive site you can actually use.
Includes responsive build, CMS setup, SEO basics, analytics, and launch support.
Care & growth
Your site doesn't have to stop at launch. I can keep it fresh as your business changes.
Includes updates, new pages, performance checks, and small improvements.
Concept work
A few directions.
Self-initiated concept sites, not client work. They show how different businesses can feel completely themselves online. Yours would start from your story.
Fieldnotes
Work About
Independent consultant
Clear thinking for growing teams.
Clay & Common
Shop
Small-batch ceramics
Made to be held.
These are concept studies, not client work. Your site would be built around your real story, not a template.

Notes, sketches, and a lot of questions.

About
Hello, I'm Kelvin.
I'm a web designer and developer, and Curious Work is my one-person studio.
I help people and businesses turn what they do into a website that's clear, useful, and unmistakably theirs.
I care about the details you feel more than the ones you notice: how quickly a page loads, whether the words sound human, whether the next step is obvious.
I work directly with you from the first conversation to launch day. No account managers. No handoffs. Just a good website and the person who made it.
A few things I believe
-
Clarity is a kindness. If a visitor has to work to understand you, the site isn't finished.
-
Your website should sound like you. No corporate fog. No borrowed personality.
-
Fast is a feature. A beautiful site that makes people wait isn't beautiful for long.

Working with people and businesses, wherever they are.
How it works
From first hello to launch day.
A clear path, with no mystery in the middle. You'll always know what happens next.
-
We talk
A relaxed conversation about your business, your people, and what the site needs to do. No jargon, no pressure.
-
We make a plan
I map the pages, shape the story, and send you a clear proposal with scope, timeline, and cost.
-
I design and build
You see the design early, give feedback, and watch it become a real, responsive site.
-
You launch
We check everything, connect your domain, and I show you how to keep it fresh.
Most projects take three to six weeks. You don't need to have everything figured out; that's what the first conversation is for.
Good questions
The things people usually ask.
If yours isn't here, just ask. I'd rather answer it now than have you wonder.
Ask me anythingHow much does a website cost?
Every project is different, so I price by scope. After we talk, you'll get a clear proposal with a fixed project fee. No hourly surprises.
How long does it take?
Most projects take three to six weeks from kickoff to launch. It depends on how quickly we make decisions and how much content is ready.
Can you write the words?
Yes. I can shape and edit the copy, and I'll ask the right questions to get the story out of you. For longer content, we can bring in a copywriter.
Do you work with existing websites?
Yes. I can refresh what you have, rebuild it on a better foundation, or add what's missing. We'll start by looking at what's working and what isn't.
What do you need from me?
Your story, your logo if you have one, any photos you love, and a little time for feedback. I'll guide you through the rest.
Can I update it myself?
Yes. I build with easy-to-use tools and show you how to make common changes. If you'd rather not touch it, I can handle updates for you.
