One designer. Your whole site.

I'm Ari, a current Duke student as well as quarterback on the football team. I've spent years building websites — and the ones I enjoy most are for the places I actually walk into: the corner restaurant, the salon two blocks over, the café that's been there longer than the block has.

Most of those businesses either have no website at all, or one built a decade ago that quietly makes them look closed. That's an unfair position to be in when the work you do in person is excellent. So I started Stix to fix it, quickly and at a price that makes sense for a small shop.

My design philosophy is simple: clean, modern, fast, and built for phones first. No sliders nobody clicks, no pop-ups, no bloat that makes your site crawl. Just clear information, good photos, and an obvious way to call, book, or find you.

You'll always talk to me directly — the same person who designs your site, builds it, and updates it later. No account managers, no ticket queue, no agency phone tree.
