Real clients. Real numbers.
Every build on this page is real client work. Click through, run the speed scores yourself, read the reviews. Nothing here is a mockup.
Six builds. Zero excuses.
This one is ours. We co-own this detailing business, so it gets every idea first. The site was scoring 61 on Google's speed test and quietly losing rankings for it.
- Speed score rebuilt from 61 to 95, verified on PageSpeed Insights
- Call tracking wired into every ad, so every dollar is accountable
- 108 five-star reviews on the Google profile it feeds
A skeptical owner with a do-it-yourself site that was holding him back. We rebuilt it as a seven page SEO build covering three Missouri cities, with booking built in.
- Speed score from 50 to 93 on Google's test
- Seven pages targeting Kansas City, Columbia, and St. Louis searches
- Booking request form built in, no third party fees
A football brand with two hundred thousand followers and a website that never matched the audience. We rebuilt it into a full editorial site, ESPN energy, live before the season opener.
- Full editorial rebuild: NFL and college coverage with real writer author pages
- Preme Pick'em, a season-long free contest that turns followers into weekly players
- Handed over with printed guides, so their team publishes and runs it without us
A portrait photographer with 23 years of work, and a site quietly telling Google to ignore it. Seven of his nine pages carried hidden noindex tags. We rebuilt the site around his own photographs and cleared every one.
- Seven hidden noindex tags found and cleared, every page now visible to Google
- Nine pages rebuilt around his own photography
- Mobile speed score up from 37, remaining drag measured to the platform, not the site
A financial advisory firm whose site lives inside a locked-down compliance platform. The plan called for seven pages. We built 207: every service, a full article and video library, native calculators, and a financial glossary, all inside their compliance review workflow. Launching this month.
- 32 financial calculators built from scratch, native to the site
- 152-piece article and video library, every page rebuilt by hand
- Every page routed through the firm's compliance review before it goes live
A full property management site: owners, tenants, services, and every town they serve. Twenty two pages, and the owner approved the build on the first review.
- 22 pages covering every service and service area
- Approved on the first review
- Owner and tenant paths separated so each finds their answer fast
Pages live in 3 days, full sites in about 2 weeks. The next build slot on the workbench is where your business goes next.
Products we built for ourselves.
When we are not building for clients, we ship our own. Same standard, no client to answer to.
A live outbreak tracker for the 2026 MV Hondius hantavirus event. Case counts, an interactive map, and a news feed pulled from WHO and ECDC, shipped in days while the story was breaking.
Our own envelope-budgeting iOS app, plus the marketing site that sells it: animated hero, pricing, a student angle, and a blog. Designed and built end to end, app and web.
Web design for local businesses.
Car rental, real estate, auto detailing, restaurants, medical, contractors, and more. We build websites for local businesses across Missouri, from Columbia to Kansas City and St. Louis. Every industry has its own moment when a weak website costs a real sale. Here is how we think about each one.
Car Rental
Renters compare you against the big brands before they call. A slow, hard-to-book site sends them straight to Turo or Enterprise. We have built this exact site.
- Vehicle fleet pages built for search
- Booking request built in, no per-rental fees
- Multi-city local SEO, ranked fast
Real Estate
Buyers and renters search online first. Agents without a strong personal site lose leads to Zillow before they ever get a chance.
- Lead capture and property inquiry forms
- Agent bio and listing showcase
- Local neighborhood SEO
Auto Detailing and Repair
Car owners judge you on your before-and-after photos. If your work is not front and center with a way to book, they scroll to the next shop.
- Photo galleries that show your best work
- Online booking and quote requests
- Google reviews wired into the page
Restaurants
Menus buried in PDFs, no online ordering, and a site that looks nothing like your food. Diners bounce and order somewhere else.
- Mobile menu with photos
- Online ordering or reservation booking
- Google Maps and local SEO
Dental and Medical
Patients judge your credibility before they ever call. An outdated site loses them to the next provider down the street.
- Online appointment booking
- Patient trust signals and reviews
- HIPAA-conscious contact forms
Contractors and Trades
Your work speaks for itself. Your website does not. Most contractor sites bury the phone number and show no proof of work.
- Before and after photo galleries
- Instant quote request forms
- Google local search rankings
Trucking and Logistics
Freight clients Google you before they call. If they land on a broken or bare-bones site, you lose the load.
- Fleet and service area pages
- Driver recruiting landing page
- Professional credibility fast
Gyms and Fitness
People sign up for gyms online now. No clear call to action, no class schedule, no way to join means memberships left on the table.
- Membership sign-up flow
- Class schedule and booking
- Trial offer landing pages
Salons and Spas
Clients book everything on their phone now. If appointments still require a call, you are turning away the ones who never call.
- Online booking with real-time availability
- Portfolio of work with photos
- Client loyalty and rebooking prompts
Retail and Local Shops
Local shoppers Google you, then check your hours and reviews. A bad or missing site sends them to the chain store down the road.
- Products, hours, and location front and center
- Online store or order pickup
- Google Business Profile integration
Law and Professional Services
Credibility is everything. Prospects research you thoroughly before calling. A weak site costs you cases, clients, and deals.
- Practice area pages and attorney bios
- Consultation booking flow
- Trust signals and case results
HVAC and Plumbing
When a pipe bursts at midnight, people Google the first plumber with a solid site and a phone number they can actually find.
- 24/7 emergency contact visible above the fold
- Service area pages for local search
- Instant estimate request forms
The playbook is the same: show up on Google, look credible, make it easy to call. Two minutes of questions and we will point you at the right build.
