Websites for brands that deserve to be seen.
Vellum Studio is a small design house crafting bespoke websites for considered businesses — designed by hand, engineered to last, and quietly maintained long after launch.
Lumière
A boutique hotel reimagined for a new generation of considered travellers.
Considered work,
made slowly.
We believe a website is a long conversation with your customer — not a transaction. Every project is led by a senior designer, scoped honestly, and delivered with the same care we'd want for our own brand.
Discovery
We begin with a slow, honest conversation. Your story, your customers, your ambitions — captured in a written brief that guides every decision after.
Design
A single creative director and a small team craft your site by hand. No templates. No committees. Three rounds of refinement until it feels unmistakably yours.
Stewardship
We launch quietly, then stay. Hosting, updates, content edits, performance — handled by the same team who built it, for as long as you'd like us.
Honest pricing. No surprises.
A one-time design fee, followed by $125/month for ongoing care — hosting, updates, edits, and quiet stewardship. Cancel at any time.

The brands we're privileged to serve.
"Vellum gave our brand a presence I didn't know we needed. Bookings doubled within a quarter, but more than that — guests arrive already trusting us."
"Working with the studio felt like commissioning a couture piece. They asked the right questions, then disappeared, then returned with something exquisite."
"They've quietly maintained our site for two years. I never think about it, which is exactly what a small business owner wants."
The things
most ask, first.
Most Signature projects launch within four to six weeks. We never rush the work, but we don't waste your time either.
Let's begin a quiet
conversation.
We take on a small number of projects each season. If your brand is ready for something carefully made, we'd love to hear from you.
