Websites
built to
rank, last, and convert.

A small studio that designs, builds, and quietly maintains high-performance websites for serious businesses. We obsess over search rankings, page-load speed, and uptime so you don't have to think about your website again.

02 Benchmarks

Speed is a
ranking factor.

Google ranks fast pages higher. They convert better, too. Most agency websites load in 5–9 seconds on mobile — heavy with plugins, trackers, and bloated themes. Ours load before the user notices.

The math

Every additional second of load time drops conversions by an average of ~7% and increases bounce rate by ~32%. We win the click and the visit.

We handle the technical work end-to-end so you can stay focused on your business. Pick the package that fits — upgrade later when you're ready.

  • + Local search / Google Business
  • + A/B and conversion testing
05 The stack

Modern infrastructure,
quietly applied.

We build static-first, statically rendered sites on a modern headless stack. The result: pages that ship as plain HTML, served from the edge, with no database to break or get hacked.

Static-first

Pre-rendered HTML, served from the edge in under 50ms anywhere on Earth.

No public database

Nothing to inject, no admin to brute-force. The attack surface is nearly zero.

Markdown content

Your content lives in version-controlled files. Roll back to any prior state in seconds.

Edge deploy

Pushed to a global CDN on every change. Instant rollback if anything looks off.

Schema.org built-in

Structured data by default — Google understands your site without guessing.

Asset ownership

You own the code, the content, and the domain. Always. No platform lock-in.

06 Pricing

Flat fees.
No surprises.

Build fee is one-time. Care plan is monthly and cancellable anytime — you keep the site and the domain. Add-ons are à la carte.

07 Trust & ownership

You own everything.
Always.

Subscription website services lock you in — stop paying and the site goes dark. Not here. Your code lives in your repo, your domain stays in your name, and your content is yours to take.

HIPAA-aware

Forms route through HIPAA-compliant providers. No PHI ever touches the front end. BAAs available on request.

Hardened by default

No public database, no admin login, no plugin pipeline. The attack surface is intentionally tiny.

Clear contracts

Plain-language statement of work. Cancel the care plan anytime — you keep the asset.

Migration handoff

Leave us, take everything. We export domain, code, content, and analytics with a clean handoff doc.

08 FAQ

Honest
answers.

How long does a build take? +

Foundation builds typically ship in 3–4 weeks from kickoff. Studio builds in 5–7 weeks. Bespoke work is scoped per project. We work with one client at a time so the work gets our full attention.

Why not WordPress? +

WordPress is great for some things — for a high-trust business website, it is more attack surface and weight than you need. Our static-first stack is faster, more secure by default, and much cheaper to maintain over a 5-year horizon.

Can I update content myself? +

You can, but most clients prefer to email us. We turn updates around in under 24 hours and ensure everything stays SEO-clean and fast. If you want full edit access, we can wire up a headless CMS for an additional fee.

What if I want to leave? +

You take everything: code repo, domain, content, analytics. We hand it over with documentation. Your business is portable. We earn your retention, we don't lock it in.

Do you handle hosting? +

Yes — included in every care plan. Hosting is on a global edge network. You can also bring your own hosting if you prefer; we deploy to whatever you own.

Do you guarantee Google rankings? +

No serious agency does — Google is a black box and rankings depend on your market and content. What we guarantee is the technical foundation: perfect Lighthouse scores, valid schema, clean information architecture, and ongoing care.
