Independent studio · Southern Maine

Web design & development.
Here in Southern Maine.

A website that feels like your business—and makes it easier to run.

Putnam Studios builds business websites, online stores, and custom web applications for Southern Maine. Work with Sam Putnam on a new site, an overdue redesign, or a tool that solves a real problem.

What can we
build for you?

Start with what your business needs. We will work out the design, content, and functionality together.

01 / Services

Business website design

A clear home for your business: what you do, where you work, and how customers can get in touch. We design and build new websites, landing pages, and redesigns that work on phones as well as larger screens.

02 / Services

E-commerce development

An online store that makes browsing and ordering straightforward. We build product catalogs, storefronts, and ordering experiences around what you sell and how your business handles orders.

Custom web applications

When a standard website does not cover the job, we build the tool you need. That might be a customer portal, a delivery workflow, an inventory integration, or an application that makes a repeated task easier.

Serving businesses across Southern Maine, from Greater Portland to the communities of York County.

We work with businesses in Portland, South Portland, Westbrook, Scarborough, Cape Elizabeth, Falmouth, Windham, Gorham, Biddeford, Saco, Kennebunk, York, and nearby towns.

Your site should make the next step clear: understand your services, explore your products, or get in touch. We bring design and development together so the content and the tools work toward the same goal.

Projects begin with a conversation about your business. From the first sketches through launch, there is room for your feedback, with hosting, handoff, and ongoing support agreed as part of the scope. Remote projects outside Maine are welcome too.

A few
local questions.

Which parts of Southern Maine do you serve?

We work with businesses throughout Southern Maine, including Portland, South Portland, Westbrook, Scarborough, Cape Elizabeth, Falmouth, Windham, Gorham, Biddeford, Saco, Kennebunk, and York. If you are in a nearby community, send us a note about your project.

Can you help with a website I already have?

Yes. We can review your current site and talk through the issues: unclear content, a layout that is awkward on mobile, an outdated design, or a feature your business now needs. From there, we can scope a focused update or a rebuild.

Does a new website include SEO?

We plan clear page content, descriptive titles, mobile layouts, and the technical foundations that help search engines understand a website. Local visibility also depends on your business information, reviews, and competition. We can discuss what your project needs without promising a particular ranking.

How do we get started, and what does it cost?

Send a short description of your business, a link to your current website if you have one, and what you would like to improve. We will discuss the goals, scope, and budget, then put together a quote before work starts. You do not need a finished brief to begin.

Let’s make it useful.

Your next website.
Let’s start here.

A few sentences about your business and what you have in mind are enough to get the conversation going.
