About

A porch light, always on.

Porch Light Studios builds warm, professional websites for the businesses that make Cleburne and Johnson County feel like home.

Why we’re called Porch Light Studios.

A porch light is a small, generous gesture. It says you’re welcome here, we’ve been expecting you. It’s reliable. It’s on when you need it. It doesn’t try to be flashy — it just does the job, evening after evening, year after year.

That’s what we think a small business website should be. Not a bells-and-whistles billboard. Not a tech demo. A steady, welcoming front door to your business that’s on when your customers go looking for you — which, increasingly, is the first thing they do.

We live here.

We’re based in Cleburne, Texas. We shop at the same stores you do. We eat at the local restaurants. We know what the square looks like at sunset, and we know that a Dallas agency charging $5,000 for a website doesn’t understand the difference between a barbershop in Cleburne and a barbershop in Plano.

Every business on the square, every contractor working out of a truck, every shop on Henderson Street — they deserve a website that loads fast, looks good on the phone in their customer’s pocket, and doesn’t cost the price of a used truck. That’s why we built the studio the way we did: fixed prices, no upsells, you own everything when we’re done.

How we keep prices low (honestly).

We use modern AI tools to work faster — that’s how we get a professional 5-page site live for $597 instead of $5,000. But every site is reviewed, refined, and launched by real people who care about the outcome. We don’t ship anything we wouldn’t be proud to put our name on. And we don’t take a project we can’t do well.

We’re happy to talk about how the work gets done. No magic, no smoke and mirrors — just a small studio doing honest work for honest prices.

The team

Who you’ll work with.

Mike

Founder

Cleburne local, homesteader, lifelong technologist. Reads every email, answers every call. The person you’re actually hiring.

Rowan

Operations · AI agent

Handles intake, drafts, and client communication. Yes, really — an AI. We tell you because we’d rather be honest about how we keep prices low than pretend we’re a 20-person team. Every word Rowan writes is reviewed by Mike before it ships.

Let’s build yours.

No pressure. No salesy follow-up.
