Two things, done in one place.

Most agencies sell either branding or websites and force you to coordinate between two teams. We do both — so your logo, your colors, your typography, and your website ship as one cohesive system that actually looks like it was made on purpose.

B

Brand identity

The visual foundation your business is recognized by. We craft brands that feel premium, confident, and unmistakably yours.

  • Logo design (3 directions, refined to one)
  • Color system + typography palette
  • Brand guidelines document
  • Business cards + print collateral
  • Social media profile assets
  • Brand voice + messaging guide
W

Websites

Fast, mobile-first websites built to turn local searches into booked appointments, table reservations, and quote requests.

  • Custom design — never a template
  • Sub-2-second mobile load times
  • Local SEO foundation + schema markup
  • Click-to-call + booking integrations
  • Google Business Profile setup
  • Conversion tracking from day one

Your branding and your website are quietly costing you customers.

Whether you run a dental practice, a roofing company, or a neighborhood restaurant, three problems show up on almost every site we audit.

/ 01

Your brand looks like a 2014 template

The logo was made in Word. The colors clash. The fonts don't match. Customers form an opinion about your business in 0.05 seconds — and yours says "amateur" before you've had a chance to speak.

/ 02

Your website loads in 6+ seconds

Half of mobile visitors leave before your site even appears. Google penalizes slow sites in local rankings, so you're invisible to customers searching for you right now.

/ 03

There's no clear path to book you

Phone number buried in the footer. No "Book now" button on mobile. No after-hours form. Customers who wanted to hire you bounce to the next business on Google.

Why we charge half what most agencies do.

The agency down the street wants $7,000 for a 5-page website. They're not bad at their jobs — they just have inflated overhead. Office leases. Account managers. Sales teams. Layers of process. You're paying for all of it.

We're a small family studio in Ottawa, run by three brothers, with a small team behind us. No middlemen, no markups, no theater. We charge what the work actually costs to do well — not what we think we can get away with.

Same quality. Half the price. Faster delivery. That's the entire pitch.

// 5-page website with branding

Typical US agency$7,000+
Boutique design studio$5,500
Big agency with sales reps$9,000+
Open Sign Studio$3,400

Four steps. Two weeks. Zero confusion.

You won't be assigned an account manager you'll never meet. The founder runs every project from kickoff to handoff. That's how we move fast and stay accountable.

Discovery call

Moh · Founder, Open Sign Studio · Ottawa, Canada

15,000 projects shipped. Now I'm building something specific.

"I've spent over five years designing logos, brands, and websites for more than 15,000 clients in 60+ countries. I learned what actually moves the needle for small businesses — and what's just expensive theater. Open Sign Studio is what I built when I decided to bring that experience under one roof."

I'm based in Ottawa and I run Open Sign Studio with my two brothers in Ottawa, and a small team behind us. That structure is what lets us deliver senior-quality brand identities and websites for half what most US agencies charge, without cutting corners on the things that matter.

You get me on every sales call. You get me on every strategy decision. You get my team's full attention on the build. And you get a final product that doesn't look or feel like it was made by 14 different freelancers stitched together.

Questions business owners actually ask us.

We're based in Ottawa, Canada. I run the studio with my two brothers, with a small team behind us helping with execution. Sales, strategy, and project decisions all happen with me directly — that's the benefit of working with a small family studio rather than a large agency.
Yes — and that's why our pricing on the combined package is so much better than getting them separately. Most studios specialize in one and outsource the other. We have dedicated brand designers and dedicated web developers in-house, working from the same brief. That's how the logo, the colors, the typography, and the website end up feeling like one cohesive thing instead of two separate projects stitched together.
No middlemen, no inflated overhead, no sales reps on commission. We're a small family studio in Ottawa — three brothers running it with a small team behind us. The agency charging $7,000 for the same work has account managers, salespeople, project managers, and a downtown office to pay for. You're not paying for better work when you hire them — you're paying for their overhead. We charge what the work actually costs.
Every package includes revisions — and on logos, the chosen direction gets unlimited refinement. If we genuinely can't land on a design you're happy with after the included rounds, we refund the design phase and part ways. The policy exists because it should. We've never had to use it.
Yes — but only because we limit how many projects we take each month and the scope is fixed. The clock starts after the discovery call and assumes you reply to feedback emails within one business day. If you go silent for a week, the timeline shifts. Most builds finish on day 12 or 13. The Brand + Site Package adds a few days for the branding work — typically 18 days total.
You own everything from day one. Logo files, brand guidelines, domain, hosting account, content, code. We register everything in your name. If you ever want to leave, we hand over credentials and walk away. No hostage hosting. No "proprietary platforms" you can't move off of.
The $600/month website retainer covers: 2 SEO-optimized blog posts, weekly Google Business Profile posts, ongoing local citation building, review monitoring with response drafts, monthly site updates and unlimited small tweaks, and a monthly performance report. Plus a quarterly strategy call with me directly. We also offer a separate $1,200/month design retainer for ongoing visual work — social posts, ads, flyers, menu updates — covered on our branding page.
