Why it surfaced

Mare Leborgne treats web design like tailoring: measured in conversation, cut by hand, and finished so the owner can change the opening hours. Its pitch is unusually specific about the businesses it wants to represent—from wine bars and tailors to sailmakers—and about refusing projects that have nothing worth showing.
