Portrait of John, founder of John August Design

I'm John. I run a design studio in Missoula, Montana, and I love what I do.

I've spent the last decade designing brands, building websites, and figuring out what makes businesses grow. Along the way, I put together a team of people who are way too good at what they do. A small studio with a big reach.

We're easy to work with, we pick up the phone, and we care a lot about getting it right. That's really the whole pitch.

Full-service design, marketing, & growth

Five practices, one studio

Everything your business needs to look sharp, get found, and convert visitors into customers.

Businesses I help grow every day

Five industries, one approach

No matter your industry, the goal is the same. A brand that earns trust and a website that earns customers.

01 / Restaurants

Restaurants & Food Service

Menus, online ordering, and foot traffic that fills tables. Restaurants are my specialty. I build websites that make people hungry. Photography-forward designs with menus that actually work on mobile, integrated online ordering, and local SEO that puts you at the top of "best restaurants near me."

02 / Builders

Home Builders & Contractors

Showcase craftsmanship, win bigger projects. Your work speaks for itself, if people can see it. I build portfolio-driven websites that let your craftsmanship sell for you. High-quality project galleries, clear service areas, and the kind of credibility that wins six-figure contracts.

03 / Local

Local Service Businesses

Dentists, lawyers, salons, plumbers. Own your local market. When someone in your town searches for what you do, you need to be the first name they see. I combine clean, trust-building web design with aggressive local SEO and ad campaigns that make your phone ring.

04 / Commerce

E-commerce & Retail

Online stores that look great and convert. Your products deserve more than a default template. I design custom storefronts on Shopify and Squarespace that build brand loyalty, reduce cart abandonment, and turn browsers into buyers.

05 / Wellness

Wellness & Spa

Serene brands and seamless booking experiences. Your brand should feel the way your services make people feel. Calm, premium, and inviting. I create elegant websites with integrated booking, gift cards, and the kind of visual experience that makes new clients feel taken care of before they even walk in.

We recently hired John to design our website. The experience was smooth from start to finish. After our initial consultation and looking at examples of his work, I felt confident that working with him was the right choice. We are very pleased with the final product.

Erik Johnson · Balance Point HVAC

John is creative, smart, logical and efficient with all aspects of design and implementation. John created our logo and assisted with web site development. We are pleased with the outcome and ease of working together.

John was super responsive, efficient, and thorough with his work. I had some specific fixes and redesign work I needed, and John did a fabulous job. Very communicative. Highly recommend.
