small studio.
big enough to matter.

we're a three-person web design and branding studio based in Manchester. no account managers, no layers. you work directly with the people doing the work.

why "blackbox"

clients don't need to understand code, colour theory, or content management systems. they need a site that works and a brand that looks right. what happens in between is on us. that's the box.

we started blackbox to do the opposite of what most agencies do: fewer people, fewer meetings, faster answers. three specialists, one studio, direct access to all of them.
