The island
A drivable island with seven exhibits of studio work, free boats, a pier with rides, a day that turns to night, and a door that only opens with the right code.

We build websites and launch videos for small businesses. Both get tested on a phone before you see them.
“Dude, I love this, it’s amazing. The bars have been packed recently.”
The studio.
We started Appel Studios for owners who make something worth buying and still lose to the louder business down the street.
We take on work we care about and spend our hours on the parts we can move. We can’t control the algorithm or what the shop next door spends on ads. We can control whether your site loads fast on a phone and says the true thing about what you sell.
Your customers already know why they come back. We find that reason, then build the website and cut the hype video around it. Eli is on your first call, your draft review and your launch day. Josh is with you from onboarding on.
Before we hand anything over, we test it on a phone and on a slow connection, and we check it against a real number before we call it finished.
- Eli Appelbaum
- Founder. Runs your first call and builds your site.
- Joshua Wiener
- Partnerships and brand. Your contact from onboarding on, and long after launch.
- Connor Shamp
- Sales for home services. Often the first person you hear from.

Tiki is living on a bus until the national championship: high school on Friday, college on Saturday, the NFL on Sunday. We built the site that tracks the route every weekend.
Visit the siteThe Agency Worldwide
Retained executive search for life sciences, out of Calabasas since 1986. We rebuilt their site around the people they place: the team up front, LinkedIn on every face.
See the new siteA website, and a hype video to launch it.
- The website
- Designed and coded by Eli, then put on your domain. It is built for phones first, and you own every file.
- The hype video
- A short, hard-hitting edit cut to the beat of the track, with sound design on every hit. Made for a launch, an event or your social accounts.
- How it starts
- A call about what you sell and who buys it. We agree on the price and the date before work starts, and you see a working draft before anything goes live.
