001 / Index — An Independent Digital Studio
Est. 2014 · Vol. XI

Websites that earn attention. Marketing that earns revenue.

A small studio for the stubbornly ambitious — building digital systems that move small businesses from also-ran to obvious choice. Ten years on, still answering our own emails.

002 / Manifesto

We don't launch  build templates. We build working systems — the kind that turn a fourth-page footnote into a first-page fixture, and a quiet inbox into a steady pipeline. One client at a time, built like it's the only one we have.

Six disciplines.
One studio.

Every channel is built in-house and built to talk to the rest. No handoffs, no decoder rings, no agencies-of-record subcontracting your brand to strangers.

— 01
Websites & Development
Custom-built, performance-obsessed sites that hold up under traffic and over time. Webflow, Next.js, headless — whatever the brief actually needs.
Build
— 02
Search Optimization
Technical audits, content strategy, and the patient, compounding work of being unignorable in your niche. We've moved clients from page 4 to #1 in six months.
SEO
— 03
Paid Media
Search, social, and programmatic campaigns built around the one number that matters: customers acquired. No vanity reporting, no agency theater.
PPC
— 04
Email & Lifecycle
Welcome flows, post-purchase, win-back, and the broadcast cadence in between. Designed in a way customers actually open.
CRM
— 05
Video & Production
Scripting, shooting, and editing — short-form to commercial. Built for the platforms it'll live on, not festival circuits.
Film
— 06
Commerce Systems
Shopify and headless storefronts, conversion plumbing, merchandising, and the operational glue between your store and everything around it.

004 / Voices · 2022 — 2026

"We were buried on the fourth page of Google. Six months later, we were the answer at the top. Sausen didn't sell us a campaign — they rebuilt how we show up online."

Sarah Johnson CEO, Johnson Inc.
p.4 → #1

"They listen first, build second, and the result is always closer to what we meant than what we said."

Karen Parker — HR Manager, PK Enterprises

"Our new site reads like a brochure we'd actually be proud to hand someone."

James Kim — Owner, Kim & Associates

"Reliable in a way that's gotten genuinely rare. They ship, then they stay."

Emily Davis — COO, Davis Inc.

"Most agencies sell you a deck. Sausen sold us a result, then delivered it."
