BrielleBook was started by Marissa Brielle — a working stylist who couldn't find anyone to make her a website at a price a working artist could actually afford. So she made her own. Then she made a studio for everyone else who had hit the same wall. The studio takes her middle name.
Marissa Brielle spent ten years in the pageant world at National American Miss. When she opened her book as H&M by Marissa, she needed a website that looked like her work — poised, editorial, undeniably her.
Every quote came back the same. Two thousand five hundred upfront. Fifty a month. Six-week timeline. For a working artist just starting to build a book, that's not a website. That's a wall.
She didn't want to give up her aesthetic to a template. And she wasn't about to spend three thousand dollars before her first paying client walked in. So she took it into her own hands.
She built her own site — and then realized every stylist, lash tech, brow artist, and esthetician she knew was hitting the exact same wall. Beautiful work, no website that matched it, no budget for the studios that would.
So she opened one. BrielleBook is the studio she wished she could have hired — a place where the person designing your site has actually sat in the chair, worked the show, kept the book.
Named for her middle name. Priced like a friend. Capped at what her hands can actually make well.
Every site is a numbered volume, designed once for one artist and never repeated. Ten dollars a month for the Founding Fifty. Fifteen for everyone after. No hidden setup fees. No six-week timelines. Just work that looks like yours.
If you're reading this, you probably know exactly what it feels like to look at your work and think this is beautiful, why doesn't my website look like this?
I felt that for two years. I priced out every designer, developer, and template shop I could find. Every number was a full month's rent for a website I hadn't even seen yet. And the templates — if I'm being honest — made me look like every other stylist in every other city.
So I made my own. Then a friend asked if I'd make hers. Then another. Then it became a real thing with a name.
BrielleBook exists because I couldn't find it when I needed it. If you needed it too, you're in the right place. I promise your book will look like you — and I promise you'll be able to afford it.
Not a mission statement. Just the four rules we run the studio by.
No templates, no reused layouts, no "starter kits." If two clients get the same layout, we've failed one of them.
We cap our client roster at what we can make well. When we're full, we're full. Quality is the point.
The founder sat in styling chairs for ten years before designing a single pixel. We speak your language because we came from your industry.
You already pay too much for square, plumbers, and platforms. Ten dollars a month is what a friend would charge you. That's our rate.
BrielleBook is the first project from By Brielle — Marissa's boutique design studio.
American-made. Beauty-focused. Priced honestly.
