Do we build standards-based front ends?
Unlike others, we never stopped.
We use standard, accessible tech to build sites with customized workflows that look beautiful on any device.
We create layouts, identities, design systems, iconography, illustrations, and photo treatments that help bring your message to your audience.

We are a two-person, full-stack team based in New York City.
Tim has been building web sites since 1997 and specializes in delivering standards-based HTML5/CSS templates. His eye for design and serious affinity for clean code allow him to painlessly integrate his templates into larger systems without sacrificing user experience or aesthetics.
Tim started in the non-profit world, moved on to start-ups, shifted to an agency, upgraded to publishing, and from thence: Monkey Do.
Mike approaches web design from the perspective of both art director and front-end developer. He primarily creates clean and concise design systems for websites, but is also known to get his hands dirty with Flash, HTML/CSS, and JavaScript development.
Over the years he has worked as a cog in a large agency, an in-house art director, and a humble freelancer, and has picked up a few awards along the way. He holds a BD in Communication Design from NSCAD in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
