Our studio
Craft, held to a discerning standard.
We started Connoisseur because the web was full of the fast and the forgettable. We wanted to build the other kind — considered, effective, and genuinely good.
Who we are
A boutique by design.
Connoisseur Technologies is a small studio in Austin, Texas. Small is deliberate. It means the people who scope your project are the people who build it. It means we take on fewer clients and give each one the attention their ambition deserves.
We are generalists in the best sense — designers who understand code, marketers who understand craft, and strategists who care whether the thing actually works. That range is what lets us take a founder from a blank page to a growing business without handing them off to a chain of subcontractors.
And we are honest to a fault. If a smaller build gets you there faster, we will say so. If a channel is not working, we will cut it. Evidence over adjectives — always.
What we stand for
Three words we actually mean.
Assured
not arrogant
We have done this enough to have opinions — and enough to know when yours are better. Confidence, with the humility to listen.
Refined
not stuffy
Taste is a discipline. We sweat the details others skip — but we never let polish get in the way of results.
Selective
not exclusive
We choose our projects carefully so we can commit fully. Not to keep people out — to do right by the ones we let in.
Proudly Austin
Built in the heart of Texas.
Austin taught us that ambition and warmth are not opposites. We bring both to every engagement — the drive of a growth team and the care of a neighbor.
We work with founders across the country, but our roots — and our favorite coffee meetings — are right here in ATX.
Good to know
Questions, answered.
What size clients do you work with?
Mostly founder-led businesses and boutique firms — from pre-launch ventures to established companies doing a few million in revenue. If craft and growth matter to you, size is not the deciding factor.
How long does a typical project take?
A focused marketing site runs 4–7 weeks; a larger custom build or e-commerce store, 8–14 weeks. Ongoing SEO and marketing are monthly engagements. We will give you a real timeline before we start — not a hopeful one.
Do you work with clients outside Austin?
Absolutely. We are based in Austin but partner with founders across the US. Most of our collaboration happens over shared docs, calls, and the occasional flight.
What does a project cost?
It depends on scope, but we are transparent from the first conversation. Custom sites typically start in the mid-five figures; retainers are tailored to your goals. Tell us your budget and we will tell you honestly what it can achieve.
