What Every Site Includes

Not add-ons. Not upsells. These are the baseline requirements we hold every build to.

Hand-Coded in Next.js

No WordPress, no page builders, no bloat. Every line written for your site specifically — nothing carried over from a template.

Mobile-First by Default

Over 60% of local searches happen on phone. Every site we build is designed for mobile first, then scaled up — not the other way around.

SEO Baked In Before Launch

Keyword research drives every page we build. Title tags, meta descriptions, schema markup, and internal linking are set before the site goes live.

Deployed to Vercel

Your site runs on Vercel's global edge network — the same infrastructure used by Fortune 500 companies. Fast everywhere, with 99.99% uptime.

Lighthouse 90+ Guaranteed

We hit 90+ on performance, accessibility, best practices, and SEO before a site ships. Not an afterthought — a baseline requirement.

Instant Lead Notifications

Every form submission fires an email and text to you the second it comes in. No checking a dashboard — the lead hits your phone.

Why Hand-Code When Builders Are "Good Enough"?

Because "good enough" loses to hand-coded every time on the metrics that matter to Google.

Page builders ship every site with the same bloated asset bundle — fonts, scripts, and plugin code your site doesn't need. A hand-coded site ships only what's on the page. That difference shows up directly in Core Web Vitals, which Google uses as a ranking factor.

Beyond speed, a custom-coded site gives us full control over structure, schema markup, and internal linking — the technical SEO levers that template platforms either hide behind paywalls or don't expose at all.

How It Works

From discovery call to live site in 2–3 weeks. Here's what the process looks like.

01

Discovery Call

We talk through your services, your cities, your customers, and what you want the site to do. This shapes every decision downstream.

02

Keyword Research

Before we write a word or build a page, we find what your customers are actually searching. Every page gets a target keyword and a reason to exist.

03

Build

We build the full site: every page, every section, schema markup, meta tags, forms, mobile layout — everything. You get the real thing, not a mockup.

04

Preview & Approve

You review a live preview on our staging environment. Request changes, we make them. When you say go, we deploy.

05

Launch

Site goes live on Vercel. We verify your domain, confirm indexing, submit the sitemap to Google, and hand everything over clean.

Built for Local Service Businesses

Every industry has different keywords, different customers, and different reasons to call. We know them.

Common Questions

What most people ask before getting started.

How is a hand-coded site different from Wix or Squarespace?
Template builders like Wix, Squarespace, and WordPress load massive amounts of unnecessary code — scripts, plugins, tracking pixels — that slow your site to a crawl. A hand-coded Next.js site ships only what the page actually needs. The result: faster load times, better Lighthouse scores, and a real edge over local competitors whose sites struggle on mobile.
Do you build websites outside of Minneapolis?
Yes. We work with local service businesses anywhere in the US. Our client roster spans Minnesota, Florida, and beyond. The process is 100% remote — discovery call, build, preview, deploy.
How long does it take to build a site?
Most sites are built and live within 2–3 weeks of the discovery call. Larger builds with many service or location pages may take a bit longer. We don't drag it out — your site goes live as soon as it's done and you've approved it.
Will my site show up on Google?
We do keyword research before writing a single line of code. Every page is built with a target keyword in mind — title tags, meta descriptions, schema markup, and page structure are all optimized from day one. You won't need to hire a separate SEO agency to patch things up after the fact.
What happens after the site launches?
Your site is yours — full ownership of the code and domain. We hand off everything clean. If you want us to maintain it, update content, or add new pages over time, we offer ongoing support. Most clients start with a launch and add maintenance later.
