About / The Studio

A working studio. Building tools, sites, and systems.

Stacklumen ships work for small teams that want to look bigger, and big teams that want to move smaller. All engineered like software, all owned by you on launch day.

01.01 / The studio

A studio that ships.

Stacklumen is a working web studio — not an agency, not a freelancer, not a marketplace listing. We design, build, and ship websites and applications for small teams who want craft without the agency overhead, and the speed without the freelancer fragility.

W.01 / What we make

Custom Webflow & Shopify sites.

Pixel-honest builds with hand-rolled GSAP, Lenis, Finsweet integrations. Embeds tuned to fit platform limits. Dark mode and a11y audited.

W.02 / What else

Production applications.

React + TypeScript apps for SaaS, marketplaces, internal tools. Auth, billing, admin, infra from day one. Embedded, not arms-length.

W.03 / How we work

Embedded with founders. Weekly demos. Full ownership at handover.

Fixed proposals in 72 hours. Weekly cadence on real staging URLs — feedback in the work, not slides about it. Code, docs, decision logs, and 60 days of post-launch support transfer on launch.

01.02 / The lineage

Three names. One trajectory.

Stacklumen is the third iteration of the same studio — sharpened each time. Same hands, same standard, clearer story.

[ Era 01 ] 2023
Axom
Founding chapter

Started as a small Webflow practice. First retainers, first design system, first internal embed library — the patterns that still show up in everything we ship.

[ Era 02 ] 2024 – 2025
Stackent
Production chapter

Expanded into Shopify, custom React apps, and agency partnerships. The studio matured around production-grade work: real embeds, real components, real handovers.

[ Era 03 ] 2026 — Now
Stacklumen.
Working name

Same studio, sharpened framing. Stacklumen makes the relationship between studio work and shipped products explicit — and gives the apps we build a home of their own.

[ Heads up ]

All active engagements moved cleanly. Client work, retainers, and component libraries are continuous across the rebrand.

02.01 / The process

Four phases. Zero theater.

A predictable cadence: scope fast, design in motion, ship weekly, hand over completely. No surprise scope, no big reveal — real progress every Friday.

01 / Discover

Scope & proposal in 72 hours.

~ 3 days

A focused intro call, a written brief, and a fixed proposal back within three business days. If we're not the right fit, we say so — and point you somewhere that is.

02 / Design

Design in motion, not deliverables.

1 – 2 weeks

Static comps are dead weight. We design in Figma and prototype in code from week one. What you approve is what ships — animation and edge cases included.

03 / Build

Ship weekly. Demo in-context.

3 – 8 weeks

Weekly demos on a real staging URL. Feedback in the work, not slides about the work. Real progress every Friday, not a curated reveal at the end.

04 / Launch

Handover with full ownership.

launch + 60

Code, written documentation, decision logs, and 60 days of post-launch support — all yours. No vendor lock-in. No monthly tax for code we already wrote.

02.02 / What we ship

Five ways in.

Pick the engagement that fits. Fixed proposals in 72 hours, weekly demos until launch, full code ownership at handover.

03.01 / Products

Tools we're building. In public.

Born from the patterns we use on client work. Hublumen and Baselumen are in active development. The Stacklumen App is in public Beta.

04.01 / The stack

Opinionated tools. Compounding output.

Tools shape outcomes. We're deliberate about ours — the same foundation every engagement, so velocity compounds. We don't switch stacks per client; we sharpen the one we have.

[ Heads up ]

Not pictured: white-labeled work behind partner agencies, retainer engagements under NDA, and projects we declined. We say no often enough that "yes" means something.
