Coffee shop · Marion
Ember & Oak Coffee
Warm minimal — cream and espresso tones, an elegant serif, generous quiet space. For a shop that sells calm as much as coffee.
Vajgrt Labs · Sample front pages
Thirty front pages. Thirty completely different businesses.
We designed these sample front pages to show range — a quiet coffee shop, a loud BBQ joint, a black-and-white salon, a neon tattoo studio — and twenty more, from a minimalist sushi bar to a schedule-first taco truck. Same studio, same standards, no two alike.
One honest note: the businesses are fictional — invented names, made-up townsfolk, 555 phone numbers. The design work is real. When a client hires us, their site is built around their business the same way these are built around each invented one.
Flat prices from $195 · live in 5–10 days · you own your site & domain

Clean corporate trust — blue and white, badges and a promise checklist up front, the phone number impossible to miss. Built for the 9 p.m. "the heat just quit" search.
Farm & feed supply · Vienna
Shawnee Hills Feed & Supply
Rustic Americana — barn red and cream, slab type and an EST. 1974 badge, bulletin-board energy. A store that feels like it's always been there, because it has.
Hair salon · Herrin
The Gilded Comb
Black-and-white editorial — a magazine masthead, big serif headlines, and a price list typeset like art. Proof a salon page doesn't need pink to feel like a salon.
Auto repair · West Frankfort
Torque & Sons Auto Repair
Bold industrial — charcoal and safety orange, hazard stripes, services laid out like a spec sheet. No fluff; torque specs and straight answers.

Soft pastel and playful — blush and mint, scalloped edges, tilted cards. Sweet without being silly, and the Saturday order deadline is front and center.
Lawn & landscaping · Johnston City
Everline Lawn & Landscape
Modern green — deep green and lime, rounded app-like cards, a before/after frame that does the selling. For a crew that wants to look as sharp as its stripes.
Clothing boutique · Carbondale
Magnolia Row Boutique
Luxe minimal — ivory and gold hairlines, wide letter-spacing, numbered collections. Whisper-quiet design that lets the clothes be the loud part.
BBQ joint · Murphysboro
Smoke Signal BBQ
Loud retro Americana — red, yellow and cream, vintage signage lettering, a starburst special badge and a chalkboard menu. Some businesses should shout.
Tattoo studio · Carbondale
Midnight Gospel Tattoo
The outlandish end — near-black with neon violet and acid green, blackletter type, a staggered asymmetric grid. If your brand is the night, your website shouldn't look like a dentist's.
Steakhouse · Marion
Stockyard Prime Steakhouse
Dark ceremonial fine dining — near-black and oxblood, brass double-rules, courses numbered like a ceremony. For the anniversary dinner, not the Tuesday special.

Nonna Rosa's Pizzeria
Warm trattoria — tomato, basil and cream, a checkerboard band and family-photo frames tilted like they're on the wall. The sizes strip does the upsell.
Sushi bar · Carbondale
Kaito Sushi & Sake
Minimalist Japanese — ink, rice white and one stroke of vermillion, extreme negative space, a dotted-leader menu. The quietest page in the set, on purpose.
Brewery & taproom · Anna

Ice cream parlor · Metropolis
Sunbeam Scoops
Retro soda fountain — teal, cherry and cream under a striped awning, a flavor board dotted like scoops. Fountain classics, priced like it's still simple.
Retro diner · Harrisburg
Blue Plate Diner
Newspaper diner — teal, chrome and red, the menu in ruled columns and a weekday-specials table. Checkerboard floors you can almost hear squeak.
Food truck · Marion / Carbondale / Carterville
Fuego — Wood-Fired Taco Truck
Schedule-first street design — black, hot orange and lime, the weekly stops table as the hero. A truck's website has one job: where are you today?
Gym · Marion
APEX Strength & Fitness
High-energy athletic — black and volt, diagonal cuts, giant numerals and a class grid. Membership tiers with hard edges; nothing about it whispers.
Yoga & wellness · Carbondale
Stillwater Yoga & Wellness

Dental clinic · Herrin
Brightpath Family Dental
Clinical-friendly trust — white, aqua and navy, rounded cards, a new-patient special and the insurance strip where nervous visitors look for it.
Law firm · Benton
Callahan & Reed
Formal architectural — navy and parchment, pillar lines, practice areas in Roman numerals, attorney bios and the disclaimer where it belongs.

Wedding & events venue · Goreville
Hickory Hill Manor & Gardens
Romantic and spacious — ivory, champagne and sage, arch-framed garden views, a stat row and three package tiers. Sells the walk down the aisle.
Daycare & preschool · West Frankfort
