The studio Est. 2024
Animation should serve content, not decorate it.
Blackstone Motion is a small web studio built around motion-first websites. We use GSAP as our primary toolkit and ship work where every tween has a reason to exist.
01 About
A studio built around craft.
We started Blackstone Motion because too many sites look like the same ten templates dressed up with a different palette. That is fine for some work. It is not what we do.
We build sites that you notice have been made. Typography chosen deliberately, layouts with a point of view, motion that communicates rather than distracts. Every project starts from scratch.
02 Values
How we think about the work.
Precision over decoration
Animation that serves the content. If a tween does not help the user understand or feel something, it does not ship.
Performance first
Beautiful sites that are also fast. Transform-only animation, clean builds, scores that hold up under scrutiny.
Semantic code
Accessible, maintainable HTML. The code under the hood is as considered as what you see.
Zero templates
No Framer exports, no WordPress themes, no drag-and-drop defaults. Everything is built for the brief.
03 Tools
What we build with.
GSAP is our animation core. ScrollTrigger for scroll-driven work, Flip for layout transitions, SplitText for typographic reveals. Around that: modern vanilla JS, Vite for builds, and whatever framework the project calls for.
04 Clients
Who we work with.
Brands, agencies, and startups that understand the difference between a site that ships and a site that makes an impression. We work with clients who want to stand out rather than blend in, and who give us the latitude to do that properly.
Scope ranges from full brand builds to animation consultancy on existing codebases. If you have GSAP in your stack and need someone who lives in it, that is us.
05 Investment
Scoped to your budget.
We do not publish a rate card. After a written brief and your budget range, we propose pages, motion level, and timeline in a formal quote with itemized hours. Scope changes get a change order, not a surprise invoice.
Most projects fall into one of two paths: motion-first, GSAP scroll storytelling and multi-page brand builds, or essentials, hand-coded sites with lighter motion for local shops and service businesses. Both are custom. Neither uses templates.
Two revision rounds included on full builds. Quotes are valid 30 days.
