Design & development subscriptions for small businesses, startups, and non-profits.

Sometimes more is less.

Traditional agencies love to offer more. More contracts. More touching base. More quick meetings. More partners. More scope creep. More “per my last email." More revisions. More check-ins.More hours. And more costs.

Skip the confusing contracts and scope surprises with design and web development subscriptions created for you. With Houseboat, you collaborate in the same project management and design tools as we do so you’re always in control.

We think it can be easier. Pause or cancel anytime.

Every project at Houseboat is managed collaboratively with on-demand requests, revisions, and communication in our project management tool, Outlign.

After subscribing, you'll be invited to an Outlign project board where you team up with Houseboat in real-time. From your dashboard, you can chat directly with us, create and prioritize tasks, and send as many design and/or dev requests as you need.

We'll tackle each request, step by step, in the priority that you control, with as many revisions and tweaks you need. All in one convenient place.

Still have questions?

Here are some questions that we get a lot. Can't find your answer in here? Send an email and we'll get back to ya.

  • Houseboat are Tyler Garrison (Designer) and Evan Markert (Developer). Together, we are founding partners of Houseboat Creative, a design and dev studio for small businesses, startups, and non-profits.
  • Houseboat uses Outlign for project management giving you complete control with seamless communication, task creation & prioritization, collaboration, and revision requests.
  • Yeah. Seriously. You can expect the initial concept, ready for review, within 2-4 days. Then together we'll make unlimited revisions until it's perfect. We should mention, bigger projects can take up to 4 weeks depending on complexity.
  • To ensure the best possible service for our clients, we limit onboarding to two projects at a time. This allows us to dedicate our full attention and expertise to each project while ensuring quality and timely delivery.
  • We want you to love the work. We hate haggling over boring contract stuff and debating the definition of "revision". Voila! Subscription and unlimited requests. It's a real love/hate relationship with "make it bigger". In a good way.
  • Yeah, kinda sorta. Because of the intense creative demands for delivering top-notch design and development within tight timeframes, we cannot provide our services without some compensation.

    However, we understand how quickly things can change. If, after our initial discussion, it turns out that we aren't a good fit, and no work has been delivered for review, you are eligible for a 50% refund.
