Custom designer taste. Without the custom price tag.

You know your website needs to look legit. You've done the research, maybe even hopped on a discovery call or two. And then the proposal landed in your inbox.
Five figures. Three to six months. A mood board and a prayer.

Hard pass.

Refinery Nine templates are built by a designer with two decades in the game — the strategy, the layout, the typography, the brand thinking. It's all already done. You bring your content, we hand you the framework that makes it look like you hired the best designer in the room.

No agency markup. No endless revision rounds. No waiting until Q3 to launch.

Just a damn good website. Finally.

EMMIE

For Coaches

Built for the coach who means business. Emmie is clean, confident, and conversion-focused — designed to establish authority, attract your ideal client, and turn browsers into booked calls.
No fluff. Just results.

HOW IT WORKS

Getting started is the easiest part.

Step 1 — Pick Your Template

01.

no.

Browse the shop and find the template that feels like home. Each one is built with a specific industry and aesthetic in mind — so you're not just buying a pretty layout, you're buying a strategic foundation.

Step 2 — Make It Yours

02.

no.

Download your template, pop it into Showit, and customize it with your content, colors, and images. No coding. No designers on speed dial. No guessing. Everything is built to be intuitive and easy to edit.

Step 3 — Launch With Confidence

03.

no.

Hit publish and introduce your brand to the world. Your new website is live, professional, and ready to work for you 24/7 — without the five figure invoice.

From purchase to published. Faster than you think.

One designer. No shortcuts.

Hi, I'm Maria. Founder of Refinery Nine and designer for over two decades — which means I've seen every trend come, go, and embarrassingly come back again.

I started Refinery Nine because good design shouldn't require a second mortgage or a six month wait. Your website should work as hard as you do — strategic, sharp, and unmistakably yours.

My approach is equal parts editorial obsession and real business strategy. No fluff. No cookie cutter. Just design that holds attention, builds trust, and sells while you're doing literally anything else.

That's just two decades of knowing what works.

That's not magic.

Love the template. Hate the DIY part?

Same. That's exactly why Website in a Week exists.

You pick the Refinery Nine template. We handle the rest. In one week, your site goes from blank canvas to fully customized, professionally built, and ready to launch.

No back-and-forth for months. No steep learning curve. Just your brand, your content, and a website that's done — for real.
