Drook.ai — Websites built by hand in Indianapolis

About Drook.ai

Drook.ai is a one-person studio for companies that are tired of looking like everyone else. Every site is designed and written by hand — real HTML, CSS and JavaScript, no templates, no page builders, no theme to inherit and no plugin stack to patch every month. The work covers marketing sites, storefronts, web apps and the brand systems around them. When it ships, all of it is yours: the code, the domain, the hosting account.

How a site gets built

01

Discover

One conversation

We talk about your business, your customers, and the one thing the site has to make people do. You get a written plan and a fixed price. No hourly meter, no surprise invoices.

02

Design

In the browser, not a PDF

Real type, real layout, your real words and photos, on a live link you can open on your own phone. You see it the way your customers will, and we change it until it's right.

03

Build

By hand

Hand-written HTML, CSS and JavaScript. No page builder, no theme, no plugin stack to patch every month. Tested on real phones and slow connections, not just a designer's laptop.

04

Launch & hand over

Yours, entirely

The site goes live on your domain and your hosting account, and the code goes to you. Want ongoing care and updates? Available. Want to run it yourself? Also fine.

What gets built

Marketing sites are most of the work. The rest is whatever the business actually needs behind them.

Marketing websites: The site your customers find first. Built to load instantly and say exactly what you do.
E-commerce: Storefronts on platforms you own, with checkout that doesn't get in the way.
Web apps & portals: Dashboards, client portals and internal tools, built on a stack you can hire for.
Brand & identity: Logo, color and type systems that make a small company look like a serious one.
Performance & SEO: Core Web Vitals, structured data and the technical groundwork that makes a site rank.
Care plans: Optional monthly updates, monitoring and improvements, only if you want them.

A hooded figure walking away down a shaft of light — Nehemiah Drook · Designer, developer · Indianapolis

Design, code, launch — every Drook site is built by me, Nehemiah. You don't get handed to a junior after the sales call, because there isn't one.

I also run HoosAI, a company that builds custom AI systems for businesses. That's why a Drook site can have a genuinely useful AI feature in it when it earns its place, and never a chatbot bolted on because it's fashionable.

If you want a site that looks like it was made for you, because it was, say hello below.

Tell me what you're building, what the site has to do, and roughly when you'd like to start. I read every message myself.

FAQ

Do you use templates or page builders?

No. Every site is written by hand in HTML, CSS and JavaScript, for your business specifically. There's no theme underneath it and no plugin stack to keep patched.

Who actually builds my site?

I do — design, code and launch. The person you talk to on the first call is the person writing the code, so nothing gets lost being handed down.

Do I own everything when it's done?

Yes. The site goes live on your domain and your hosting account, and the code goes to you, written down. You can walk away at any point with all of it.

Do you work with businesses outside Indianapolis?

Yes. The studio is in Indianapolis and the work happens with clients anywhere.

What happens after launch?

Care plans are optional: monthly updates, monitoring and improvements if you want them. If you'd rather run the site yourself, that's fine too — it's built to be handed over.

Can you add AI features?

When it earns its place. I also run HoosAI, which builds custom AI systems, so a genuinely useful feature is on the table — but never a chatbot bolted on because it's fashionable.
