Everything people ask before working with us, in plain language. If your question isn't here, the first call is free and we don't do sales voices.
We design brands, build the software behind them, and run the marketing systems that bring customers in. One team covers all three, so the booking flow, the website, and the follow-up emails are built to work together instead of glued together later.
Service businesses, local brands, and founders, mostly in the United States. Our flagship platform runs a real-estate media company, so real estate, creative studios, and appointment-driven businesses fit us especially well.
A working first version ships in weeks, not months. We build in increments: the first usable slice goes live early, then we improve it weekly with real usage informing the roadmap. Big-reveal launches are how projects die; we don't do them.
Yes. We're based in San Diego and love working locally, but everything we build and run works remotely. Most of the relationship happens in a shared channel and a weekly call wherever you are.
About an hour a week: one call, plus quick answers when a decision needs your judgment. We come to you with options and a recommendation, not homework.
Three shapes: a fixed-price Launch Sprint for well-scoped projects, a phased Platform Build where each phase is priced before it starts, and a monthly Growth Retainer for ongoing marketing and iteration. You get a real number in writing after one scoping call. Details are on the pricing page.
A landing page and a multi-tenant booking platform are different animals, so we don't publish one number that pretends to cover both. What we promise: the quote is written, itemized, and doesn't grow in the dark. Scope changes are priced before they're built, never after.
Hosting and third-party services (your accounts, at cost, usually modest) plus an optional retainer if you want us running growth or shipping improvements. Software we build doesn't have a license fee. It's yours.
Any month, no lock-in. Retainers survive on results, not contracts. If we're not earning the invoice, you should stop paying it.
You do. Repositories, hosting, domains, analytics, ad accounts: everything is created in your name or transferred to it. If we disappeared tomorrow, another team could pick up your project without asking us for anything.
Boring, proven technology: TypeScript, React, Node, Postgres, Stripe. The same stack that runs our flagship platform through 7,500+ real jobs. We save the creativity for your product, not the plumbing.
No, and we build to prove it: standard stack, your accounts, documented handoff. Clients stay because the work compounds, not because leaving is painful. Lock-in is a business model; it just isn't ours.
Yes, we inherit builds regularly, including escapes from website builders and stalled agency projects. We audit what exists, keep what's good, and give you an honest read on what isn't.
Launch day is the midpoint, not the finish line. Most clients move to a retainer where we run the growth engine: SEO, lifecycle email, content, and the steady product improvements real usage asks for. If you'd rather run it yourself, we hand over documentation and walk your team through everything.
Production issues get same-day attention, and the platforms we run carry monitoring and error telemetry, so we usually know before you do. Quiet reliability is the deliverable.
Yes. Local SEO, email, content, reviews, and ads all run as standalone retainers. Plenty of clients start there and add software later once the growth engine proves itself.
Thirty minutes, no pitch deck required. Bring the question; we'll bring a straight answer.
