Platform Questions
Which Platform Is Right For Me?
Most of our sites land on Astro or WordPress, our two go-to platforms. We pick based on how you'll run the site, not on what's easiest for us. Stores usually go on Shopify or WooCommerce. We'll tell you straight which one fits, and why.
When Do You Recommend Astro?
When speed and search matter most. Astro builds the fastest, cleanest sites we make, with top Core Web Vitals and SEO baked in. Great for service businesses and marketing sites. The trade-off: day-to-day editing runs through us or a light CMS, so it fits best when you'd rather we handle the changes.
When Do You Recommend WordPress?
When you want to log in and edit often yourself. WordPress is the most popular CMS in the world, with a huge plugin library and easy updates, and we tune it for speed and SEO. The trade-off: it needs managed hosting, updates, and security, which we handle for you.
What About An Online Store?
For selling, we lean on Shopify or WooCommerce. Shopify is hosted and handles payments, inventory, and security for you, for a monthly fee. WooCommerce runs on WordPress, so you own all of it and get more flexibility, with a bit more upkeep. We match the one to your catalog and how hands-on you want to be.
Do You Build On Webflow?
Yes, when a design-forward marketing site is the goal and you want a visual editor. It's a solid hosted option. For heavy content or a real store, we usually steer you to one of the others, and we'll say so up front.
Custom Website Design Process
Our Simple, Clear Process.
We start graphically first so the creative direction is not boxed in by templates, then move into build, refinement, optimization, and launch.
Our Proposal & Deposit
We send the scope, pricing, and deposit so the project can get started.
First Graphic Proof
Your first design proof arrives within 72 hours after deposit. We design graphically first, not inside a template.
Graphic Revisions
Visual change rounds usually turn in 24 hours. Revisions stay flexible and creative before build.
Build To Test Site
Once the direction is approved, we build it on a private test site.
Dial In Content By Page And Device
We refine content, layout, and responsiveness page by page and screen by screen.
Speed & Search Optimization
We improve performance, technical SEO, and search readiness before launch.
Launch
Go live when the site is ready, typically about 4 weeks depending on content and approvals.

Process & Pricing Questions
What Does It Cost, And How Long?
Most sites run 20 to 25 hours at $75 an hour, so about $1,500 to $1,875, with a $300 deposit to start. First proof in 72 hours, changes turned around every 24, and about four weeks to launch. It's a time frame, not a deadline.
What If I Already Have A Site?
We often improve a site that's working piece by piece, instead of pushing a rebuild you don't need. If a rebuild really is the better call, we'll show you why first.
Do I Own Everything?
Yes. The site, the code, and the accounts are all yours. Always. No lock-in, and we never hold your site hostage.
Who Hosts And Maintains It?
We do, if you want. Fast managed hosting, updates, security, and backups, all handled. Or we hand you everything to host yourself. Your call, either way.
A website should earn its keep, not just look nice. Here's how we build yours, and why a site made for your business beats a template you stretch to fit.
How We Build Your Site
No mystery, no black box. You see real progress in days, you weigh in often, and the same people who design your site are the ones you work with start to finish.
We Start By Listening
Before a single pixel, we learn what you sell, who buys it, and what a good week looks like for your business. That short discovery shapes the pages, the words, and what we put first.
You See A Real Proof In 72 Hours
After your deposit you get an actual design of your homepage, not a wireframe or a stock mockup. You react to something real early, while it's still cheap and easy to change direction.
Changes Come Back The Next Day
Tell us what to tweak and you'll usually see it within 24 hours. The site grows in tight loops, so it never drifts far from what you actually wanted.
We Launch, Then We Stay
We handle the go-live, the redirects, and the small fixes that follow. After that we're still here for updates, edits, and marketing, because the same in-house team keeps running it.
Why A Built-For-You Site Beats A DIY Template
A drag-and-drop template feels cheap to start and gets expensive later. A site built around your business stays fast, gets found, and keeps paying off.
It Stays Fast Under Real Load
Templates ship with code for a hundred features you'll never use, and all of it loads anyway. We build only what your site needs, so pages open quickly and pass Core Web Vitals instead of fighting them.
Search Is Built In, Not Bolted On
We write the structure, headings, and page titles for search and AI answers from the first line of code. With a template you usually find the SEO problems months later, after rankings already stalled.
Nothing Generic, Nothing Bloated
Your layout, your words, and your offers, shaped to how customers actually decide. No padded sections, no widgets you have to hide, no fighting a theme built for someone else's business.
One Team Builds And Markets It
The people who design your site also run your SEO, ads, and content. A DIY template leaves you stitching that together yourself or hiring it out piece by piece. We keep it under one roof.
Optional · Your AI Studio
A Version-Controlled Workspace We Build In Together
If you like working alongside AI, so do we. Inside The Loop we can stand up a private, git-backed workspace built from your own site and your brand voice, and we build in it together. You work in your browser, no git knowledge needed. Drop in an idea, a rough draft, or a headline you wrote with ChatGPT, and our team turns it into finished, ready-to-ship work. Every change is a commit with full history, so nothing is ever lost and anything can be rolled back. You move as fast or as slow as you want. Nothing reaches your live site until a person on our team has reviewed it, edited it, and checked it for SEO, accessibility, and tracking.
- A Shared, Version-Controlled Workspace. We set up a private workspace seeded from your real site and your brand voice. It runs on git, so every edit is a tracked commit with an author, a timestamp, and a diff. You work through a simple browser view, no command line and no git knowledge required. You get full change history, branches for work in progress, and a clean way to roll back anything you don't like. No silent overwrites, no mystery edits. For regulated or YMYL content, that same history shows exactly who changed what, when, and why.
- You Contribute What You Have. Hand us an idea, a bullet list, a competitor page you admire, or a draft you generated in ChatGPT or Gemini. Paste it in raw. You are not writing final copy or touching code. You are giving direction in whatever form is fastest for you, and the workspace keeps your contribution attributed and dated next to ours.
- We Build, Polish, And Run The Checks. Our team turns your input into finished design and copy, then runs it through our process: a security and backup pass, accessibility, performance and Core Web Vitals, schema, and the SEO and AEO checks that shape whether Google ranks the page and whether AI assistants can quote it. We write in your voice using our anti-AI-detection rules, and for regulated topics we cite from a source-checked fact database instead of guessing, with two models (OpenAI and Gemini) verifying each fact before it ships. We do not publish raw AI text.
- We Ship It And Tie It To Your Numbers. When a change is approved, we publish it and connect it to your strategy and analytics, Search Console and GA4, so you can see what moved instead of just looking at a new design. The commit history tells you exactly what shipped and when, and the next report reads current-versus-last-measured against it.
Is This A Real Git Repository Or Just A Shared Doc?
It is a real version-controlled workspace, not a Google Doc with our logo on it. You work in a browser, so you never have to learn git, but underneath, every contribution and every edit is a logged commit, so you can see who did it and when. You get a complete audit trail and the ability to roll back any change. That history is part of why it is safe to co-create here: nothing is destructive and nothing is hidden, which matters for regulated or YMYL pages.
Do You Publish AI Or Client Drafts As-Is?
No. A person on our team reviews and edits everything before it ships, no exceptions. The workspace is where ideas and drafts come in fast. Our review, our voice and compliance rules, and our final sign-off are what stand between a draft and your live site. We also do not publish raw AI text. On regulated topics, our writing cites a source-checked fact database, and two models verify those facts before anything goes out the door.
What If We Want Zero Involvement?
Then you have none, and the result is the same quality. The AI Studio is optional. Plenty of clients hand us the keys and only want to see the finished work, and that path runs through the exact same build process, the same checks, and the same human sign-off. The workspace is there if you want a seat at the keyboard, not a requirement for getting a great site.
