The studio

We believe animation should serve content, not decorate it.

Blackstone Motion is a small web studio specialising in motion-first websites. We use GSAP as our primary animation toolkit and build sites where every tween has a reason to exist.

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's fine for some work. It's not what we do.

We build sites that you notice have been made. Typography that's been chosen deliberately, layouts that have a point of view, motion that communicates rather than distracts. Every project starts from scratch.

How we think about the work

Precision over decoration

Animation that serves the content. If a tween doesn't help the user understand or feel something, it doesn't ship.

Performance first

Beautiful sites that are also fast. Transform-only animations, clean builds, scores that hold up under scrutiny.

Semantic code

Accessible, maintainable HTML. The code under the hood should be 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.

What we build with

GSAP is our animation core. We use ScrollTrigger for scroll-driven work, Flip for layout transitions, and SplitText for typographic reveals. Around that: modern vanilla JS, Vite for builds, and whatever framework the project calls for.

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.

Project 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's us.

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We do not publish a rate card.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.

Two revision rounds included on full builds. Quotes are valid 30 days.
