The Big Question

"So...how are you different?"

This is a great question. After all, anyone can build a website these days. Here's how we stand above the rest.

  • $0 down, $175 per month.

    People have a hard time with this concept. Yes, we design and build custom websites without charging thousands of dollars up front. We want to grow with you, not give you a website and run away.

  • We actually care if you get more customers

    It seems a little silly to have to add this, but people in our industry are often obsessed with details that don't matter. We only care about the things that matter to you: getting more customers.

  • We understand SEO

    SEO is a great buzzword for site builders to say they "include". We can't guarantee results, but our clients typically see a massive boost in site rankings from our work.

  • The fastest sites in the industry

    We build performant, fast websites. When a site loads instantly, it gives the customer confidence and keeps them from clicking away. And Google loves it. Our PageSpeed scores are consistently between 98-100.

  • Transparent pricing

    A lot of web agencies are like budget airlines that charge you for water on the plane. They'll bill you for an hour's worth of work even though it took them 2 minutes.

    We just have one fee that includes everything needed to have and maintain a website, except we do it for you. Need a sentence changed? Included. Need a whole new redesign? Included.

Frequently asked questions

Why don't you charge thousands of dollars up-front?

Our reasoning is this: We want to help your business. A giant payment up-front can really hurt a lot of local businesses who are trying to optimize cash flow. We totally get it. (We're a local business too!)

Our $0 down, $175 per month gives a predictable expense that small or local businesses find helpful.

If you still want to pay up-front, we offer an up-front pricing on our websites. But most people stick with the monthly option.

How experienced are you at building websites?

I've been building websites for over 25 years. I've been helping small and local businesses for over 20 years. My work has been featured in just about every mainstream print and online publication you can think of.

What goes into your SEO process?

SEO is a loaded term when it comes to designing and building websites. The fact is that we have lots of data and experience working with local businesses on ranking higher. We don't do anything questionable because we believe SEO is a long-term process.

We don't promise results. Any company that promises you a "top ranking in Google" or anything of the sort is only going to hurt you long-term. Why? Because they'll use harmful, questionable tactitics to get you to rank for the short term, and then they results fade very quickly. And you'll have likely violated Google's terms of service.

Instead, we focus on the things that we know makes Google happy. Things like accessibility, fast-loading websites, clean and proper code, and a few other things.

Our clients tend to see a significant bump in search rankings after we've worked with them, purely from the improvements in the code and design of the websites we build

Why does having a fast-loading website matter?

Having a fast website that loads instantly has many benefits, and they all build on each other.

For starters, Google found that if a site doesn't load in 3.5 seconds, up to 50% of visitors will leave. So if you've got a slow website, you're losing half of your potential customers right out of the gate.

Fast-loading websites are a ranking signal for Google. It keeps people from "bouncing" off of your site quickly, and gives customers a reason to trust you more.

There are many more reasons why having a fast website is crucial, but the short answer is it keeps visitors and Google happy.

How do you make your websites so fast?

We use "outdated" technology that still outperforms everything: CSS and HTML. That's it. And it's still the fastest way to serve a website.

Now, we do heavily optimize our websites with other techniques, but at the heart is the simple serving of HTML and CSS. No databases, no added complexity, and super clean code.

Are your site designs custom?

Yep, every one. We design each of our websites from scratch, and you sign off on the design.

Do you handle software upgrades as well?

We handle everything related to your website. Hosting, upgrades, design, layout, etc. Never worry about having to upgrade Wordpress again.

In fact, never worry about doing anything on your website again.

Do you really mean "unlimited" edits?

Yep! Here's the thing: we're happy when you're happy. We've found that many business owners avoid keeping their website up-to-date because it's a hassle. They're afraid they'll break something, or it'll look weird, or they'll have to update the software in the process... it's a problem.

We take care of that problem by making the edits for you. Easy peasy.

Where are you located?

In the heart of America: Lawrence, Kansas. But we work with just about anyone, anywhere.
