About the studio
A small studio
for small businesses.
SmallBusinessWeb.Design is a one-person studio in Hawaiʻi run by Stephen Navazio — who also helps small businesses untangle their software and automation as AI4.Now. This studio is the design half of that work: beautifully made WordPress websites for the local shops, makers, trades, and non-profits that actually need one — built fast, priced honestly, and looked after for the long run.
No subcontractors, no offshore team, no page-builder lock-in. The person you meet on the first call is the person who designs your site, writes its copy, ships it, and answers the phone when something breaks. Small batches, on purpose.
Our way of working
Kuleana.
koo-leh-AH-nah · n.
Responsibility · stewardship · the duty you carry for the people and things in your care.
When a small business owner hands you the keys to their website, they’re handing you the front door of their shop. That isn’t a transaction — it’s a kuleana.
It’s why we take fewer clients than we could. Why we write our own copy instead of asking you to do it. Why we host on a Hawaiʻi-region server and answer the phone when something breaks. It’s the difference between a website you bought and a website that’s actually looked after.
Built with kuleana. Made for the long run.
