No team to hide behind, no account manager layered between us, no "let me circle back with the designer." If you work with P27, you work with me — from the first call to launch day, and beyond it if you want the care plan.
Based in Orange Park, serving Jacksonville and Clay County. Or email me directly at adam@p27design.com.
The studio's more than a decade old now, but the road to get here wasn't a straight line. Here's the condensed version.
Before P27, I did web and brand work for church, nonprofit and small-business clients in the Charleston area. Two things stuck: small organizations can't afford enterprise agencies but deserve careful work, and most agency layers exist to justify headcount, not to serve clients.
The family moved from Charleston to the Jacksonville and Orange Park area. Today I'm based in Orange Park, working in person with businesses, churches and nonprofits across Jacksonville, Clay County and Northeast Florida, and remotely with clients anywhere in the U.S.
Hung out a shingle with one conviction: every client would work directly with me, every project would have a fixed price in writing, and every proposal would be written in language you could explain at dinner. Named the studio after Psalm 27:13–14. More on that below.
I kept watching small-business owners drown in admin work while tools like ChatGPT and Claude sat unused, so I started running workflow audits and building custom GPTs for clients. It quickly became the work I'm most excited to take on. Small teams get a lot out of AI when someone sits with them and sets it up right.
More than a decade in, I still run P27 solo. I write the proposals, push the pixels in Figma, write the HTML, set up the GPTs, launch the site, and answer the phone. When a project needs a specialist I don't have in-house, I hire a trusted freelancer and manage them, so you still only ever talk to me. I also pastor full time, which is why church and nonprofit work feels like home turf.
I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
The name comes from this verse — a conviction that good work, honest work, work you can point to — happens here, in the land of the living. Not in someday-maybe proposals. Not in lock-in contracts. Not in dashboards nobody checks. In real sites that load, real systems that run, real relationships that last. P27 was built for the work that actually ships — in the time we actually have.
"Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage." — v. 14
These are the ground rules I set on every project. Follow them long enough and you either get a great result — or you figure out early that I'm not the right hire and move on without burning a month of your time.
If you can't repeat the strategy back to your spouse at dinner, it isn't a strategy yet. No jargon, no acronym soup, no buzzwords in proposals or meetings.
Every project is a fixed price in writing with a clear scope. Anything outside it gets its own written quote before work starts. The only hourly rate is $125, for consultations and out-of-scope or mid-project-cancellation time.
You text me, you email me, you call me. There is no account manager to get past. If I'm slammed, I'll tell you, and I'll still reply within one business day, Monday to Friday, 8 to 5 Eastern.
If you're not a fit for me — wrong budget, wrong service, wrong timeline — I'll say so on the first call and refer you to someone who is. Better for both of us.
I'd rather save us both a month than talk you into the wrong engagement. If either side of this list is obviously your situation, that's useful information before we talk.
Free 30-minute call. If we're a fit, a fixed-price proposal in writing within five business days. If we're not, an honest pointer to someone better. Either way, no sales sequence.
