    // The Stack

    The right tool for the specific job.

    We don't lock you into one platform. We pick the stack based on what the project actually needs. Here's how we decide.

    WordPress

    // php · most builds

    // When We Use It

    Content-heavy sites where your team needs to update pages, post case studies, and manage media without calling a developer. The default for most service-business sites.

    Next.js

    // react · headless

    // When We Use It

    Sites where performance is the differentiator. Real-time reservation systems, interactive product configurators, anything where a 100ms render delay costs you a customer.

    Static

    // html · 11ty · astro

    // When We Use It

    Landing pages, brochure sites, and microsites where the content rarely changes. Zero database, near-instant loads, and hosting costs that are essentially zero.

    Custom backend

    // laravel · rails · postgres

    // When We Use It

    Sites that are really web apps in disguise. Custom workflows, role-based dashboards, integrations with field-service tools. When off-the-shelf SaaS doesn't fit.

    // What's Included

    What every build comes with.

    Same standards regardless of platform. Same engineering, same care, same accountability.

    01

    100% custom design

    Every site designed from scratch to match your brand. No templates. No cookie-cutter layouts. A unique design that sets you apart from competitors using the same templates.

    Optimized code, compressed images, smart caching, and CDN delivery. You never lose a visitor to slow loading. Page-speed score baseline: 90+ on mobile, 95+ on desktop.

    E-commerce when needed

    Need to sell online? We build WooCommerce or Shopify stores with payment processing, inventory management, and shipping integration. Not every site needs this; we build it when it earns its place.

    Hosting & SSL included, forever

    Every site includes managed hosting, free SSL certificates, daily backups, and 24/7 monitoring for the life of the engagement. No monthly hosting bills, no surprise renewals.

    // The Process

    From kickoff to launch in 1-2 weeks.

    Most full website builds ship in 1 to 2 weeks. Larger e-commerce or custom backend work can run longer, but the standard service-business site is live inside two weeks. You're involved the whole time with daily check-ins and previews.

    01

    // Frequently Asked

    Questions buyers ask before they hire us.

    Do you only build on WordPress?

    No. We use WordPress for most service-business sites because it's the default for a reason: full control, great SEO, easy for your team to update. But we also build on Next.js when performance matters, static when speed and simplicity win, and custom Laravel or Rails when the site is really a web app. The platform decision happens in week 1, after we understand the project.

    How long does it take to build a site?

    Most full website builds ship in 1 to 2 weeks from kickoff to launch. Larger e-commerce or custom backend builds can run longer, but the standard service-business site is live inside two weeks. You're involved the whole time with daily check-ins, Figma reviews, and a staging URL before launch.

    Will I be able to update the site myself?

    Yes. We hand over a CMS your team can actually use: WordPress admin, a custom dashboard, or whatever fits the build. We also include training and short Loom walkthroughs so you feel confident editing without breaking anything.

    What about ongoing maintenance?

    Every engagement includes managed hosting, free SSL, daily backups, security patches, plugin updates, and uptime monitoring. One person you can text for content updates and small design tweaks. No surprise invoices.

    What does it cost?

    Most service-business builds land between $750 and $2500, depending on the scope. Custom backend or e-commerce builds run higher. We quote a fixed fee after a free discovery call, so you know the number before you sign.
