Obsidian Design studio website template
Obsidian is for a boutique creative agency, a brand identity studio or a freelance designer growing into a studio. Warm cream pages, deep green accents and big serif headlines make it feel closer to a magazine than a tech startup.

About the Obsidian template
Built for a boutique creative studio
Obsidian suits studios that sell taste as much as output. The pages feel printed and unhurried, which helps a small team look considered.
What's on the site
- Home with your services, selected work, a client testimonial and retainer pricing
- Works, with a page for every project
- Blog, with a page for every post
- Contact, with an enquiry form
Keeping it current
Projects and posts are collections: add one in the editor, or ask your AI agent, and the index, the home page teaser and its own page all update. The retainer pricing section can be edited or removed if you prefer to quote per project.

Key Highlights
Questions about Obsidian
Can I publish my prices?
Yes. There is a retainer pricing section that puts the price front and centre. Change or remove it in the editor.
Can I add projects and blog posts myself?
Yes. Both are collections: add one from the editor, or ask your AI agent, and the index, the teaser and its own page all update.
Who is Obsidian for?
Obsidian is built for a boutique creative agency, a brand identity studio and a small design agency. Not built for solo agency-of-one — try Park or Dossier instead.
What pages come with Obsidian?
4 pages, already written and laid out: Home, Works, Blog and Contact. Add, rename or remove pages whenever you like.
Can Claude or ChatGPT build my site from Obsidian?
Yes. Connect Sitelas to your AI agent and ask for a site that uses Obsidian. It fills in your details, sends you a preview link, and publishes when you approve. The same chat can keep running the site afterwards.
Can I change Obsidian without code?
Yes. Click any text, photo or colour to change it in the visual editor, or ask your AI agent to make the change. Nothing is locked.
What does it cost?
Nothing to start, with no trial clock. A free site runs on a sitelas.com address; Pro is $16 a month per site ($160 a year) for your own domain, analytics and more room.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, on Pro. Point your domain at the site and the SSL certificate is issued and renewed for you.
Make Obsidian yours
It opens in the editor with every page already written. Change what you want, publish when it reads like you.
