Bold Print Design Studio

What Bold Print Design Studio does

Bold Print Design Studio, Inc. is a privately held, founder-led web and print design agency headquartered in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina (Outer Banks), operating since 1997 with 1–10 employees. The firm provides a full-stack design offering spanning website design and development (including WordPress-based sites, e-commerce stores, and specialized real estate IDX/MLS sites), print materials and publication advertising, logo and branding design, email and online marketing, pay-per-click campaign management, and recurring website hosting and WordPress maintenance. Its core technology stack is WordPress-centric, augmented by integrations such as IDX/MLS real estate feeds, LearnDash for learning management, and e-commerce platforms; proprietary features include a Light-Up County Map that dynamically illuminates counties as properties are listed or sold and automatic PDF generation of printable property brochures from listing data.

The studio's commercial model is project-based, quote-driven services with no public pricing tiers, supplemented by a small recurring revenue stream from hosting and maintenance. It operates a direct-to-consumer go-to-market motion: free quote request forms, phone (252-441-2041), and email ([email protected]) drive inbound leads, supported by an SEO-optimized portfolio website categorized by industry and service type. Founder Scott Lawrence serves as CEO and COO, and the firm has been founder/owner-operated with no external investors, parent company, or subsidiaries disclosed.

Bold Print Design Studio's customer base is anchored in the real estate vertical — including land sales brokerages such as Mossy Oak Properties (since 2007), Compass South Land Sales, Atlantic Realty of the Outer Banks, Sarah Spencer Keller Williams, and Blue Sky Real Estate — while also serving retail, technology, healthcare/wellness, education, and non-profit clients (e.g., Fox Hole Shootout, Joyner Foundation, Impact Entrepreneur, The Shelf King, Calmer Lab, Barnes Creative Studios) across 17+ U.S. states from a single NC office. A Codeable-certified WordPress developer (Susan Lawrence) provides a marketplace channel within the WordPress services ecosystem.
