Let’s talk about your website
Sound familiar?

The work is good.
The website doesn’t
quite tell the story.

Maybe it still describes the business you were five years ago. Maybe visitors have to piece together what you do. Or maybe you keep putting off sharing the link.

You shouldn’t have to explain everything your website leaves out.

We bring the message, the images, and the experience together—so your next customer sees what you already know is there.

Founded by brothers
Doug & Grant Klembara.

Cliff Standard draws inspiration from their great-grandfather Clyde E. Yost. He designed houses and patented practical inventions, including a seat for ballparks and grandstands. For Doug and Grant, making something useful has always been personal.

Their partnership grew in Oak Cliff. Doug started The TX Studio; the brothers went on to run Wax Space, help with Go Oak Cliff’s neighborhood events, and become part owners of Oak Cliff Brewing. Doug also helped found Elmwood Farm. The Oak Cliff Advocate told their story.

Doug brings photography, design, and creative direction. Grant brings writing and marketing strategy. At 1517, Doug directs creative and Grant leads marketing and communications.

Together they make websites that show what is distinctive about a business—and give people a clear reason to reach out.

A good place to begin.
