About the studio
We started with one Brazilian restaurant on Saint-Denis.
Juan had been building websites since his brother’s company needed one, then kept going with restaurants and clothing brands. Matheus had been directing social media for restaurants. We started working together on Acajou, a family-run Brazilian kitchen on Saint-Denis, and we have run its website and its feeds ever since.
Acajou
Make a ten-person business look like it means it.
Big companies buy credibility. Local businesses have to build it, usually with a phone camera and whatever time is left after closing. Our job is to close that gap for the price of a slow week, not a marketing budget.
Show the real place
We do not buy stock photos of someone else’s kitchen. If it is on your site, it happened at your address.
Say the price out loud
Our rates are on the services page. You will know the total before we start, and it will not move.
Leave you better off
You own the domain, the site and every photo we take. If you leave, it all goes with you.
Who does what.
JD
Juan Diego Falla
Websites and build
Builds every site we ship. He started with his brother’s company, moved on to restaurants and clothing brands, and still writes every line himself, which is why the work looks like one idea instead of six.
MF
Matheus Da Fonte
Social media direction
Runs the feeds. He directs social media for restaurants around Montréal, plans the month, writes the posts and answers the messages, so owners can stay in their kitchens.
Most studios do one of these three things. We do all three, on purpose.
A web designer hands you a beautiful site and asks for photos you do not have. A photographer hands you 200 files and no idea where they go. A social agency posts whatever is on your phone. When one team does all three, the shoot is planned around the site, and the site is built around what we know we can shoot.
Before
Three vendors
Three invoices, three timelines, three people blaming each other for the delay.
Before
Mismatched assets
A site in one style, a feed in another, and photos that fit neither format properly.
With us
One shoot, every format
We shoot 16:9, 9:16 and 3:2 in the same session, because we already know where each one goes.
With us
One number to call
Something breaks, something changes, something is on sale. Same two people, same day.
Come tell us about the business.
We will ask what your best month looked like and work backwards from there.
