Independent web design studio
of Calvin Thurman
Websites with a pulse. Whipped up fast.
What this is
Sitewhip is a studio for people and small businesses who are done blending in. Every site starts on a blank page, gets built by hand, loads before you blink, and makes the right people reach out.
The craft
Four things I obsess over, so you don't have to.
-
01
Type that talks
Fonts get cast like a lead actor. Your words set big, confident and impossible to skim past, because the way it reads is half of what it says.
-
02
Motion with manners
Movement that guides the eye and makes people linger. Silky on a phone, and calm for anyone whose device asks for less motion.
-
03
Speed you can feel
Lean, hand-written code with no bloated builder underneath. Pages show up instantly on a spotty connection and stay that way.
-
04
Built to be found
Clean structure, real metadata and plainly written answers, so search engines and AI assistants can find you and quote you correctly.
Range
No two alike.
Every Sitewhip site starts from a blank canvas and your personality, never a theme marketplace. Same care every time, wildly different results.

Style studies
Looks I can whip up.
Four directions, generated in code right here on the page. Concept pieces, not client work. Yours gets a look all its own.
How it goes
From hello to live, in four moves.
-
Step 01
Brief
We talk for half an hour. You tell me what you do, who it's for and what isn't working yet. I listen for the thing that makes you different, then send a fixed quote.
-
Step 02
Direction
I come back with a visual direction: type, color, motion and a homepage concept. You react honestly, and we sharpen it until it feels unmistakably yours.
-
Step 03
Build
Hand-built, mobile first, tuned for speed and search. You get a private preview link and watch the whole thing come together, page by page.
-
Step 04
Launch
Domain, hosting, analytics, the full checklist. Your site goes live and it's yours outright: code, content and accounts in your name.
Try it
Whip up your brief.
Tap a vibe and a type. The preview rebuilds itself to match. When it feels right, send it over and we start from there.
