Customers check before they call.

When someone hears about you, they look you up. Without a website, they see a phone number and little else, and the business down the street with a real site gets the call.

A simple, professional website shows your services, your best reviews and your hours, and puts a call button one tap away.

Rachel, founder of Init Web Studio

Hi, I’m Rachel.

I’ve spent more than 20 years making technology make sense to people who have better things to do than learn it. I taught math and led a school math department, then spent over a decade building STEM education programs and digital learning tools for NASA.

I started Init Web Studio because good local businesses too often get lost online. I handle the tech and explain what matters in plain English.
