ArsonistAI runs seven services, from content generation to operations consulting to training teams on Claude Code and Cursor, and sells three self serve products beside them: a KPIs plugin, a portfolio tool, and a Figma business toolkit. That is two different businesses sharing one homepage, and the failure mode is obvious. An enterprise buyer evaluating a consultancy and a designer buying a plugin do not want to read the same page.

The problem underneath the brief

Most sites solve this by picking one audience and hiding the other behind a nav item. That treats the second audience as an afterthought, which shows. The actual fix is structural: let the services read as a consultancy's capability list, let the products read as a small, confident shelf of things you can just buy, and make sure neither section has to apologize for the other's tone.

Self serve products

A KPIs plugin, a portfolio tool, and a Figma business toolkit, sold without a sales call.

Locales

English and Spanish, resolved through the same path segment pattern as the multilingual travel sites.

How it is built

Next.js, built with Turbopack rather than the default bundler, on a design token system laid over Tailwind rather than raw utility classes. Tokens are named in the Material 3 convention, text-label-lg, rounded-shape-full, but the palette underneath is the brand's own lava red rather than Material's defaults. That distinction matters more than it sounds: it gets the discipline of a token system, consistent spacing and type scale across seven service pages, without inheriting a design language that has nothing to do with fire.

Dark mode is the default rendering, not a toggle a visitor discovers later. The lava palette was built to live there permanently.

The contact form runs Cloudflare Turnstile instead of a visible CAPTCHA, which keeps the one action an enterprise lead actually needs to take, send a message, from competing with a puzzle. Locale routing follows the same path segment pattern this portfolio uses elsewhere: /en and /es resolve through one route tree, the same trick applied to a fire themed design consultancy instead of a travel operator.

What I would keep

Letting the services and the products sit in genuinely different registers on the same page, rather than forcing a single tone to cover a consulting engagement and a plugin purchase. Buyers in each category never have to translate the other section into something that applies to them.
