Who We Are
A small studio with one job: getting good businesses online, and keeping them there.
Part of Equious Innovations
Candor is the web studio of Equious Innovations — a dedicated brand built around one part of what the company does, so that small businesses get a team focused entirely on their websites rather than a side service.
That means the backing and stability of the parent company, with the attention and directness of a small studio. You deal with a specialist team, not a department.
What we believe
Four things that decide how we build everything we build.
Your brand comes first
A website should look like the business it belongs to. We start from your identity — how you talk, who you serve, what makes you the obvious choice — and design outward from there.
Plain language, always
You shouldn't need to learn our vocabulary to get a website. We explain what we're doing and why, in words that mean something, and we tell you when something isn't worth paying for.
Launch is the halfway point
Most of a website's life happens after it goes live. Upkeep is built into how we work rather than sold back to you later — the site stays secure, current and cared for.
Fixed prices, no surprises
You see the cost before we start, and it doesn't move because the project turned out to be more work than we estimated. That's our problem to manage, not yours.
What working with us is like
You talk to the people building it
No account managers relaying messages. The same team that designs your site builds it, launches it and looks after it.
You see it before it's built
Design comes first and you sign off on the look and feel before a line of code exists — so there's no expensive surprise at the end.
You own everything
Your domain, your content, your site. Nothing is held hostage, and you're free to take it elsewhere whenever you want.
You get a straight answer
If a cheaper plan would serve you just as well, we'll say so. If what you're asking for won't work, we'll say that too.
Who we build for
If you recognise your business here, we can probably help.
Local businesses
Shops, clinics, studios, restaurants and trades that need to be found, trusted and contacted.
Growing brands
Businesses past the first stage that have outgrown a social-media-only presence and need a real home online.
First-timers
Anyone who has never had a website and doesn't want the process to be confusing or intimidating.
