Black Magic is a web development studio built for design-driven teams. We partner with creative agencies and marketing teams to turn exceptional designs into high-performing, accessible, and easy-to-manage websites.
Our team began as designers before mastering code — giving us an intuitive sense for design details and user experience that most developers overlook. We work seamlessly with design partners, supporting them from concept through launch, ensuring every pixel, animation, and interaction aligns with the creative vision.
At Black Magic, we believe web development should elevate design — not limit it.
From fully custom websites to ongoing maintenance, we bring clarity and craftsmanship to every stage of development. Our expertise spans Craft CMS, WordPress, Shopify, Sanity, and Webflow, as well as custom web applications. Every project is built with a focus on performance, SEO, accessibility, and scalability.
Our near-shore team provides reliable collaboration, technical insight, and responsive support, helping our partners deliver digital experiences that feel effortless, beautiful, and built to last.
