Durable Goods is a two-person web and print design studio located in the little mill town of North Adams, Massachusetts.
We specialize in strategy, design, and project management for web, print, and emerging hybrids. We like to make things — real things, good things.
If you have something you need built to last, tell us about it.
We’d love to help.
Meet Frances and Dano.
Frances Duncan is the main client liaison and resident web designer, with ten years of experience in managing and launching web projects. In addition to her work with Durable Goods, she teaches web design and development at MCLA in North Adams, MA and blogs about local food at Plate to Plate.

We occasionally partner with creatives and technologists here in Berkshire County and across the U.S. to help us produce expert work.
Mostly web. Sometimes print.
We create simple, beautiful, hand-crafted websites and publications. Our focus is on simple, straightforward solutions to complex problems of information organization and design.
We work for you.
We provide elegant and simple web and print design solutions for nonprofits, educational and artistic institutions, community-serving organizations, and socially responsible companies. This is a selection of our work—click the thumbnails to visit the sites.
