The website you are quietly embarrassed by.

You built it on Wix in 2019. Or your nephew put it on Squarespace. Or you paid someone $400 on a freelance site and have not touched it since. It looks fine on your laptop. On a phone, the menu eats half the screen.

You stopped sending people to it last year. You hand out your business card and hope they never type the URL.

“I am at the point where I am embarrassed to send anyone to the site.”

Business owner, r/smallbusiness

Stanford Web Credibility Research found that 75% of people judge a business based on its website. Google found that one extra second of mobile load time drops conversions by up to 20%. Your site is doing two jobs at once: pulling people in, and quietly turning the wrong ones away.

Source: DataForSEO, April 2026. Sydney, AU. A handful of the small business categories your customers actually search for.

Whatever your business does, your customers are searching for it right now. Position one captures 27% of the clicks.

The question is whether you are the result they call. A Wix template, a Squarespace shop, a site that loads in five seconds. Each one quietly hands customers to the business across the road who looks more serious.

Built for owners. Not for agencies.

No 90-day discovery sprints. No 30-page brand decks. No account manager who has never opened your site. You talk to the founder, your site goes live in a week, and the only thing on your invoice is the build.

Slow sites cost you twice.

A slow page tanks your Google Ads Quality Score and inflates your cost per click 25 to 400%. It also drops your organic rankings. We build on Next.js. Sub-second loads. The same framework as Stripe, TikTok, and Uber.

You own everything

Code, domain, hosting. No platform fees. No 36-month contracts. No lock-in.

Built like the big firms

Next.js and React. The same framework as Stripe, TikTok, Uber, and Netflix.

Delivered in days

5 to 7 business days. Others quote 6 to 12 weeks. Express ships in half the time.

Pricing

Published pricing. No “request a quote” games.

Discovery call

15 minutes. We learn about your business, your customers, and what is broken on the current site. You learn whether we are the right fit before anyone signs anything.

Design and build

We build on a proven small business architecture refined across dozens of projects. You review a staging link in 3 to 5 days and request changes in plain English. No Figma mockups that never match the live site.

Review and launch

Final revisions, content loaded, SEO checked, analytics wired. We switch the domain with zero downtime and your old site disappears the moment the new one goes live.

Ongoing support

Optional maintenance from $197 a month. Or take the code and run it yourself. Either way, you own everything from day one.
