North Alabama
UX/UI & web design for Huntsville, Madison & North Alabama.
AC Studios is a four-person team based in Madison, AL, and every one of us lives right here in North Alabama. We work with small businesses, startups, and indie creators across the Huntsville, Madison, and Harvest area, plus clients anywhere else who found this page first. Same senior-level design thinking, none of the agency markup.
Why It Matters
A team that's actually from here.
North Alabama's small business and startup scene doesn't look like a big-city agency's client roster, and it shouldn't have to. Between Huntsville's tech and aerospace-adjacent economy and Madison's fast-growing base of local shops, restaurants, and service businesses, most owners here need design work that's genuinely useful, not a template with a logo swapped in.
Every single person at AC Studios lives in North Alabama. Not a distributed team with one local name on the website, and not a contractor pool three time zones away. The designer, the artist, and the scrum master on your project are all your neighbors.
That means a shared time zone, people you can actually meet in person, and a team that already understands the difference between a Huntsville startup's needs and a Madison small business's needs. That's the actual client mix here.
What We Can Help With
Design work North Alabama businesses actually need.
Full breakdowns, deliverables, and pricing for every service live on the homepage. Here's the short version of what's most relevant if you're hiring locally.
Web Design
Custom sites for shops, restaurants, and local service businesses whose current site is holding them back: hand-coded or on Wix/Squarespace, mobile-responsive, launch-ready.
See deliverables & pricing →UX/UI Design
Research, wireframes, hi-fi UI, and dev-ready Figma files for products and apps: the same process used on Amazon and Mayo Clinic work, scoped to a small-business budget.
See deliverables & pricing →UX Audit
A fast, fresh-eyes review of a site or product that's confusing customers or not converting: a prioritized fix list in 3–5 business days, no long engagement required.
See deliverables & pricing →Why Trust the Work
Enterprise-level experience, small-business rates.
Before going independent, this is the caliber of work AC Studios brings to North Alabama clients.
AAA Game Credits
Red Dead Redemption 2 (Rockstar) and Fortnite (Epic Games), plus shipping an original game on Steam as PM + UX Lead.
Enterprise UX
Amazon, Mayo Clinic, and Los Alamos National Laboratory: design work at a scale most agencies can't put on their own roster.
Small-Team Focus
A deliberately small client list, so North Alabama businesses get direct access: no account manager standing between you and the work.
Common Questions
Questions North Alabama clients ask.
Do you only work with businesses in Huntsville and Madison?
No. Huntsville, Madison, and Harvest are the local base, but most of the work happens remotely and clients outside North Alabama are welcome too. Being local just means a shared time zone and a better read on what businesses in this area actually need.
Is the whole team local, or just the owner?
The whole team. All four of us live in North Alabama, so nothing about your project gets quietly shipped off to someone in another state or another country. If you want to meet in person, that's genuinely an option.
What kind of North Alabama businesses is this a good fit for?
Small businesses, restaurants and food/beverage brands, service businesses, startups, and indie creators who need a real website or product design and don't have (or want) an agency-sized budget.
How does pricing work?
Rates are set based on actual scope and budget, not a fixed package. See the full pricing breakdown on the homepage, or send over your budget and get a straight answer about what's possible.
