Now playing — principle 01/03

Reason meets intuition

True mastery is born where reason meets intuition — the plan and the feel, in the same hands.

About — 01

One person, the whole pipeline.

I'm Aaron Michael. Genesis is the studio I run to design and build websites for studios, architects, restaurants and product teams — the kind of sites where the motion is part of the message.

I design the art direction, write the motion, and build the front-end and the back-end behind it. Nothing gets lost in a hand-off, because there isn't one.

I started in 2023 by teaching myself the craft — creative coding, animation, WebGL and the engineering underneath — and I've been building for clients since.

Side A — experience

Process — 02

Built like it has to last.

  1. LV.01

    Discovery

    What the thing is for, who it is for, and what counts as done. Scope goes in writing before anything is estimated.

    You get — a written scope and a fixed price

  2. LV.02

    Architecture

    Data model, states and edge cases mapped first. The dull decisions made early, so the interesting ones stay cheap.

    You get — a schema, a state map, a stack you own

  3. LV.03

    Build

    Shipped in reviewable slices, each one deployable on its own. You see it working weekly, not at the end.

    You get — a staging URL from week one

  4. LV.04

    Handover

    Documented, tested and yours. No black boxes, and nothing that needs me to keep it running.

    You get — the repo, a walkthrough, and support after
