Independent web & app studio

Thoughtful websites and digital tools for growing businesses.

Nerdy Fox Studios turns real ideas into clear, responsive digital experiences—from a business website that finally feels right to an app prototype ready for its next step.

Direct founder collaboration

Built to grow with you

Amberlie Hicken, founder of Nerdy Fox Studios
Founder-led

Hi, I’m Amberlie.

Thoughtful, personal collaboration from the first idea to the finished build.

What Nerdy Fox builds

Focused help for your next digital step.

You don’t need to arrive with a technical plan. Bring the business need, the rough idea, or the site that isn’t working—and we’ll shape a practical path forward.

01

Small-business websites

Clear, responsive websites that help people understand what you do, trust your business, and take the next step.

02

Redesigns & improvements

A thoughtful refresh for sites that feel dated, confusing, slow, or difficult to use on phones.

03

Web & mobile app prototypes

Working prototypes that turn an idea into something tangible enough to test, refine, and build on.

Update an existing site

Need improvements to what you already have? Updates and redesign work are quoted based on the site and the changes you need.

Digital Solutions

Not every project fits neatly into a website package. Have an idea, workflow, or problem that could use a digital solution? Let’s figure out what makes sense.

That could mean a custom tool, an app prototype, or a simpler way to organize information and help people take action. Each project receives a custom quote.

Website Care

Optional ongoing maintenance after launch: $149/month, or $130/month with a 12-month commitment paid upfront.

Website packages use your provided branding, imagery, and core content. Logo design or a full brand identity is quoted separately. Your domain, hosting, and third-party accounts stay in your name; the completed site is yours after payment and handoff.

Meet the founder

A small studio with a very direct way of working.

I’m Amberlie Hicken, a full-stack developer and the founder of Nerdy Fox Studios. I created the studio to help small businesses and promising ideas take shape online with thoughtful design, practical technology, and clear communication.

My work spans React, Next.js, React Native, C#/.NET, APIs, and databases—but clients don’t need to speak that language. My job is to understand what you need, explain the choices plainly, and build something that fits.

Full-stack perspectiveFrom the interface to the data behind it.
Clear communicationDirect updates without the agency maze.
