Earthgrid Designs · Brand designers who build

Your vision, built. Concept to completion.

Bring us a concept, a sketch or just a feeling. We shape the brand, design the experience and hand you a working website that you see before you commit and own outright. Built to last decades, not quarters.

A quiet scandal

Most websites are built to be thrown away. A rented theme. A dozen plugins. Five subscriptions, each able to change its price, its terms or its mind. In a few years the site breaks and you pay to start over. We build yours to last.

What it really costs you

Every rented part is a promise someone else can break.

You have seen it happen. A plugin stops updating. A form service doubles its price. An embedded video disappears and leaves a blank box on your home page. None of it was your fault, and all of it lands on your desk.

The fix is not one more subscription. The fix is a site with fewer moving parts, built on one platform, that you actually own.

What you get

One team, four corners. Your vision in the middle.

Turn the shape. Most agencies hand you one corner and leave you to find the other three. We do all four, so nothing gets lost between the designer, the developer and the host.

  • BrandYour identity, made whole: voice, color, type and imagery that belong together.
  • ExperienceFilm, light and motion that answer the visitor, so people remember how you made them feel.
  • BuildA working site, not a pretty picture of one. Hosted on Earthgrid, with sign-on, forms and members when you need them.
  • OwnershipEvery file is yours. Plain HTML, CSS and script that you can move anywhere.
“Build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”Buckminster Fuller
Year three of a typical website

Broken links. Expired plugins. Decay.

It never fails all at once. It frays, one rented part at a time, until a redesign looks cheaper than a repair.

The same site, built by Earthgrid Designs

Nothing to fray. Everything holds.

Fewer parts, all served from one platform, all of them yours. Changes happen when you choose them, not when a vendor sends an email.

The ten-year test

Ask one question of any website: would it still work if every outside company it depends on disappeared tomorrow?

This page passes. Its fonts, film, images and code all come from Earthgrid. Not one request goes to anyone else's server.

Why hire us

Six promises you can check right now.

Don't take our word for any of them. Each one is true of the page you are reading.

01

See it working before you commit.

We build a working demo at its own address. Open it on your phone, show your board, then decide.

02

You own every file.

No proprietary builder and no hostage situation. If you ever leave, your site leaves with you.

03

Nothing rented.

Fonts, film and code come from one place. Nothing on this page loads from anyone else's server.

04

An experience, not a brochure.

Film, light and motion that answer the visitor. People remember how a site made them feel.

05

Made for every visitor.

Phone, tablet or desktop. A pause button for the motion, and respect for reduced motion settings.

06

Grows when you're ready.

Sign-on, CRM, forms and booking plug in as modules, only when you need them.

How it works

From concept to completion.

No forty-page proposal. No months of meetings before you see anything. You watch real progress, early, on your own phone.

  1. ConceptShare your vision, your audience and the feeling you want people to leave with. Our designers shape the brand and the first mockup.
  2. BuildEarthgrid Sanctuary turns the mockup into a working site, every animation intact, served from Earthgrid.
  3. ShowYou get a private demo address. Open it on your phone, send it to your board, gather reactions.
  4. CompletionYour domain, your files. Add sign-on, CRM, forms or booking whenever you need them, on one platform instead of a pile of subscriptions.
Why trust us with something meant to last

We think in decades too.

Earthgrid has been building online communities since before most people had heard of the web. Here is the short version, with the years written the long way.

  1. 01994

    Two thousand people in one live chat.

  2. 01996

    A directory of member websites.

  3. 01997 2 December

    Earthgrid is founded.

  4. 02004

    Earthgrid 1.0: the directory and the messenger.

  5. 02026

    Earthgrid Sanctuary: designs become working sites that their owners keep.

  6. 02036 Your site

    Ten years on, it still opens, still works and is still yours. That is what we build for.

Here is my offer

Let us build your vision.

Tell us what you are building: what you do, who you serve and how you want people to feel when they arrive. We will design and build a working demo of your home page at its own private address.

Open it on your phone. Show it to the people who matter. Talk about a deposit only after you have seen it working. If it isn't right for you, all you have spent is a conversation.

Ask for your demo What is Sanctuary?

P.S. Everything you just scrolled through, the film, the light and the shape you turned, is the sample. Your site can feel like this, and it will still be yours in ten years.

Earthgrid plus our members is fixing the internet one website at a time.
