Practice begins. First client automations and sites.
2023–2026
Selected builds. Commissioned work, personal projects, and concepts stay labeled as what they are.
2026
Spurlock Studios LLC formed in Michigan. This site is the client work.

I'm William Spurlock. If you hire Spurlock Studios, you get me for the whole thing — the scope, the build, and the 2am reply. I've already shipped HVAC, forge work, mail-order cannabis, and a long run of artist sites. Most shops in this line put a salesperson between you and the person who can actually do it, and that's where the job goes sideways. I don't do that. It caps how many people I can take at once, and that's the trade. You stay with the same hands the whole way through.

I've spent roughly twenty thousand hours inside agentic systems and shipped six hundred automations, five hundred of which are still running in production without me. The receipts are the argument.

Recent work

What actually shipped?

Not a moodboard. Live client sites, built and shipped by the same hands that answer the call.

Fit check

Who is this studio a fit for?

This is for buyers who want a principal on the build — not a 12-person agency with a deck and a handoff chain.

  • 01 You run the shop, the license, or the act — and you can say yes without a committee.
  • 02 You will hand me ServiceTitan, Metrc, Shopify, or the Discord — not a moodboard and a maybe.
  • 03 You want the person who scoped it to be the person who gets the 2am text.

Not a fit: you need a 12-person agency, layers of account management, or someone to absorb endless stakeholder theatre. If you need a coastal brand film and a strategy deck, keep walking. That is not this shop — and forcing it wastes both of our weeks.

Method

How does this actually work?

Four steps. Each one leaves you with something concrete you can open, click, or own.

01 01 / 04

Scope in public

The first call ends with a written scope you can read, argue with, and take elsewhere. No proposal theatre, no artificial urgency, no discovery invoice for the privilege of a quote.

You leave with a scope you can take to another builder

02 02 / 04

Build in the open

You get access to the repo and a working preview URL from day one. Progress is something you can click, not a percentage in a status email.

You leave with a preview you can tap on your phone

03 03 / 04

Hand over the keys

Every build ships to your infrastructure, in your accounts, with documentation written for the person who inherits it. Nothing is hostage to my continued involvement.

You leave with the keys — accounts, JSON, no hostage CMS

Stay reachable

Thirty days of support is standard and I answer directly. If something I built breaks at an inconvenient hour, that is my problem to fix.

You leave with a number that reaches me, not a ticket queue

FAQ

What should you know before you book?

Who runs Spurlock Studios?

William Spurlock runs Spurlock Studios alone — architecture, engineering, design and delivery, all the same pair of hands.

Does Spurlock Studios hand work off to an account manager or a junior?

No. The person who scopes the work is the person who ships it — not an account manager and a junior. The person who tells you what is possible is the person who has to make it true.

Are you in the Midwest?

Yes. Michigan. Remote-first, with a Midwest shop-floor bias. I have already shipped HVAC, forge work, THC commerce, and a catalogue of artist sites.

Do you work with cannabis?

Yes. Cultivation, manufacturing, and dispensaries — licensed operators, 21+ honest, Metrc-aware. I do not wash it into wellness and I do not invent COAs.

Do you only do musicians?

No. Three rooms: Midwest shops, cannabis floors, and artists who need a house that collects. The music catalogue is large because that is the book of work. It is not the only door.

What stack does Spurlock Studios build with?

Front-end: Astro, React, TypeScript, Tailwind, GSAP. Automation: n8n, Make, Webhooks, Queues, Cron. Agentic: Claude, GPT, Gemini, OpenRouter, Pinecone. Platform: Cloudflare Workers, Postgres, Stripe, Drizzle, R2.

That's the studio

Bring the bottleneck. I'll tell you if it's worth building.

One operator. Clear scope. No handoffs. If that is what you want, book the call or send the brief — I reply within 24 hours.
