What we do

Four disciplines. One studio.

Most small businesses need more than a nice homepage. Pick one discipline or combine them. Each is scoped in plain language before any work begins.

01 · Website design

A website that looks the part.

New and reimagined brochure websites, with clear structure, confident presentation and an obvious next step on every page.

Best for

Businesses with no site yet, or a site that no longer reflects the quality of their work.

Includes
  • Page plan and navigation built around your services
  • Responsive design for phones, tablets and desktops
  • Clear content presentation and a contact path on every page
  • Built from text, photos and branding you approve
Good to know

Pages, features and revision rounds are agreed in writing before design starts.

Talk about a website

  1. 01Say what you do in the first line.
  2. 02One clear action, always in reach.
  3. 03Services named the way customers search.
  4. 04Built to read well on a phone first.
Sample homepageFictional business, not client work
02 · SEO

Make it easy to get found.

Technical and on-page foundations, plus useful service content, so search engines and customers can understand what you offer and where.

Best for

Businesses with a site that works but is hard to find, or pages that do not explain their services clearly.

Includes
  • Technical and on-page review
  • Page titles, headings, descriptions and page organization
  • Useful, accurate content for each service
  • Google Search Console setup and measurement, as scoped
Good to know

No one can honestly guarantee rankings, traffic or leads. This work covers what is within your control.

Talk about SEO
  • Page titleSays what the page is, clearly.
  • AddressShort, readable and organized.
  • DescriptionGives a reason to click.
Illustrative example businessNo ranking implied
03 · Digital marketing

Content that helps you get noticed.

A scoped creative pilot: short-form video, promotional assets and campaign messaging, made from material you approve.

Best for

Businesses that want to show up consistently on social channels but lack the time or a plan.

Includes
  • Short-form vertical videos from your footage and photos
  • Promotional graphics for your channels
  • Campaign messaging and a simple content plan
  • A defined pilot size, agreed before production
Good to know

The pilot does not include buying ads or ongoing paid media management, and it makes no promise of results.

  1. 01Hook in the first seconds.
  2. 02Show real work you have approved.
  3. 03Readable with the sound off.
  4. 04End on a single next step.

04 · Website repairs

Fix what is broken. Keep it running.

Targeted fixes to layout, navigation, content and forms on the site you already have, without starting over.

Best for

Businesses whose site mostly works but has problems that cost them calls or credibility.

Includes
  • Broken or misdirected buttons and links
  • Layouts that break on phones and tablets
  • Outdated, inconsistent or confusing content
  • Contact form problems
Good to know

Site access and platform compatibility are checked first. Not every platform can be supported, and you will hear that up front.

Talk about a repair
  1. 01Access and platform checked first.
  2. 02Every fix listed before work starts.
  3. 03Changes checked on phone and desktop.
  4. 04Bigger issues flagged, not hidden.
Illustrative checklistNot a client site
Selected work

Selected website designs.

Two different businesses. Two distinct visual directions, from a low-light beauty studio to a bold service business.

Ink Angel

View design (full-size still screenshot)

A personal design Tristan made for a friend’s cosmetic tattoo studio: expressive serif typography, a full-bleed photographic hero and a refined, low-light direction. It was never launched. The hero uses a representative licensed stock photo. “View design” opens a full-size still screenshot.

Adams Tree Care

A service-led concept with confident editorial typography and a direct path to an estimate or a call. The arborist photography is representative only, not Adams staff or completed Adams work.

How it works

One conversation. Then the work.

The same simple process for all four disciplines, with your approval at every step.

  1. 01

    Talk

    Tell us about your business and what is not working. Not sure which discipline you need? That is a fine place to start.

  2. 02

    Scope

    You get a written scope: what is included, what you supply and what is not included. Nothing starts until you approve it.

  3. 03

    Make

    The work happens on private previews, using content you have approved. You see progress, not just a final reveal.

  4. 04

    Launch and refine

    Revisions follow the agreed rounds. Anything outside the scope is quoted separately before it happens.

One studio, one point of contact.

Cordwood Media is led by Tristan Balaguera. From the first conversation to launch, he is your point of contact: he agrees the scope with you, brings each stage to you for approval and is accountable for what goes live.

Production is planned and checked against the scope you approved, so nothing gets lost between handoffs.

Questions

Straight answers.

What small businesses usually ask first.

Which service should I start with?

You do not need to know. Choose “Not sure yet” and describe what you want to improve. The first conversation points to the most useful starting point, and that is often a single discipline rather than all four.

Can you fix my current site instead of rebuilding it?

Often, yes. Repairs cover layout, navigation, content and form problems on your existing site. Access and platform compatibility are checked first. A redesign is recommended only when the structure itself is the problem.

Do you guarantee rankings or results?

No. Search engines decide rankings and indexing, and audiences decide what they respond to. The work covers what is within your control: a clear site, solid SEO foundations and well-made content.

What does a digital marketing pilot include?

A defined set of short-form videos and promotional graphics, plus campaign messaging and a simple content plan, all made from assets you approve. It does not include ad buying or ongoing media management.

What do I need to provide?

Details about your services, your logo, and any photos or footage you want used. For repairs, access to your current site or hosting. Everything published is content you have approved.

Who will I be working with?

Tristan Balaguera is your point of contact for scope, approvals and launch on every project.
