About Me

I'm Marcus.
I believe great websites should be affordable.

I started Marcus Studio Noir with two beliefs: your website should be doing homework for you, and having a great website shouldn't be a luxury.

Too many business owners are stuck with sites that don't represent them, don't bring in leads, and weren't worth what they paid for. Meanwhile, agencies charge thousands for cookie-cutter templates, and DIY builders leave you with something that looks like, well, a DIY builder.

I think there's a better way.

I work with small businesses, solo entrepreneurs, side hustlers, and growing brands who need a professional website without the agency price tag. Whether that's a simple landing page for $300 or a full custom build, everyone deserves a website that actually works.

Every project starts with understanding your goals and your budget. I keep my overhead low so I can keep my prices fair, and I never make you pay for stuff you don't need. Just honest work that ships, at a price that makes sense.

Good design isn't about big budgets. It's about caring enough to get it right.

Why I'm Affordable

Quality without the agency markup

No Office Overhead

I'm a solo studio working from Temecula. No fancy downtown office, no account managers, no project coordinators. Just me, doing the work.

No Markup on Tools

I don't mark up hosting, plugins, or templates. You pay for my time and expertise, that's it.

Flexible Pricing

Starting at $300 for a landing page and going up based on scope. I'll work with you to find a solution that fits your budget.

Built to Last

Hand-coded sites that don't break or need constant fixes. You save money long-term because you won't be paying me to patch problems.

How I Work

What I stand for

Honest Communication

No sales pitch. No hidden fees. I'll tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. If your project isn't a good fit, I'll say so.

Results-Focused

Every design decision is made with your goals in mind. Faster load times, clearer CTAs, better mobile experience. It all adds up to more conversions.

Clean Code

I don't use bloated page builders or drag-and-drop tools. Every site I build is hand-coded for speed, security, and longevity.

Ongoing Partnership

Launch day isn't goodbye. I stick around for updates, tweaks, and questions. You're not just buying a website. You're getting a partner.

Yes. I'm based in Temecula but work remotely with clients all over. Most of our communication happens over email and video calls.

What platforms do you build on?

WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, and custom HTML/CSS/JS. I recommend the best fit for your needs.

What if I need help after launch?

I'm available for ongoing support at an hourly rate. I also offer maintenance packages for clients who want predictable costs.
