Hello, we're EM.designs!

We're a  lean, not-so-mean team of two, carefully crafting websites and improving "life online" for local small businesses & non-profits.

Based in Kent, Ohio & Bozeman, Montana

Our Work

Since 2022, we’ve had the honor of supporting 50+ local businesses & nonprofits.

Rock Mill | Climbing, Fitness, Yoga

We love everything about this company, their mission and their website. If you're anywhere near the Akron area, go check out their gym, it's truly amazing. But first? Check out the website!

Andy G Lear

We were tasked with something unique for this project: to convey the ethereal, while at the same time communicating clearly what Andy offers. The process was guided by Andy’s authenticity and heart, at every stage of development.

Anam Cara Bozeman

Our aim with Anam Cara was to make people feel truly welcome. Careful writing and attention to color was how we did it.

Well... we can't take all the credit - just look how wonderful the Anam Cara team seems. Who wouldn't want to be around them?

The Kachadurian Group

Relying on clear, professional copywriting and expansive imagery, this project came together with ease. The Kachadurian Group represents competence and spirit.

Shaker Rocks Climbing

We love working with climbing gyms, partly because we love to climb, but mainly because the people behind-the-scenes at these gyms are always great collaborators. For this project, we migrated their existing Wordpress site to Webflow, prioritizing a smooth integration of their Rock Gym Pro software and usability for their staff.

From Building to Blessing

We are proud to have worked on this project with the insightful and articulate Ralph Gatti, his team at the Agathe Center for Entrepreneurship, and the amazing art by Lizzi Aronhalt. We updated the "From Building to Blessing" PDF and created a website to show it to existing and aspiring entrepreneurs.

Montana Mindfulness Project

We worked with the MMP team to create a new website, as the organization had doubled in size and pivoted its focus.

In addition to developing the website, we are also the digital face of MMP, and run its social media accounts, handle logistics for online courses & course registration, and create campaigns for fundraising and marketing events.

Purple and proud! DYNO Detroit shouts loud. Our challenge was to build a website that had a lot to say in a way that made it easy & enjoyable to digest.

Taco Tontos, Kent

How do you communicate the vibe of your favorite burrito shop in website form? We think we got pretty close. Head over see for yourself, and order the daily special while you’re at it. Best enjoyed on Franklin Street in the summertime, with friends and a dragonfruit margarita.
