Are we a fit? Let’s find out.
We’re not the right fit for everyone — and we’ll tell you so. Here’s who we do our best work with, who we don’t, and what we’re genuinely great at. See yourself below? Let’s talk.
We are a fit if…
The folks we do our best work with.
- You run a real business. An established company or a funded venture, with a real budget and a real goal — not a someday idea.
- You’re building something that matters. A membership site, an LMS, an e-commerce store, a custom application — work with stakes.
- You want a partner, not a vendor. Someone who builds it right and then sticks around to operate it — measured in years, not one-and-done.
- You need automation done properly. ActiveCampaign, lead nurturing, connected systems — the technical depth most shops don’t keep on staff.
- You value straight talk. Plain English over agency theater, and the truth even when it’s not what you hoped to hear.
We are not a fit if…
No hard feelings — we’d rather be straight up front.
- You need a single one-off fix. We’re built for ongoing partnerships, not quick favors. A specialist marketplace will serve you better.
- You’re pre-revenue with a vague plan. Come back when the idea is real and funded — we’ll be glad to help then.
- You’re shopping purely on price. We’re not the cheapest, and we won’t pretend to be. We’re the ones you call after the cheap option breaks.
- You want order-takers. We’ll always tell you what we think. If you need someone who just nods, that’s not us.
What ensures a successful project
The habits that separate a smooth build from a painful one.
Keep the line open
Stay reachable and loop us in early — we’ll do the same. Plain-English updates, no ghosting, no surprises.
One person who can say yes
Projects rarely stall on hard problems; they stall waiting on a decision. One empowered decision-maker keeps it all moving.
Fast review turnaround
When we hand something over, quick feedback keeps momentum. Sit on it a week and everything downstream waits.
Steer the what, trust the how
You know your business cold; we know how to build it. Be involved on the what — then trust us on the how.
Experience over the instant answer
AI gives you a confident answer in seconds. Knowing which answer holds up for your situation is what you’re actually hiring.
Give good work room to breathe
Most things ship on schedule. When the right way takes longer, we’ll flag it early. A little patience buys something that lasts.
Every decider at the table
Get everyone with a say involved from kickoff to launch — not just the day-to-day contact. Decisions made together, early, are the ones that actually stick.
Hand over the keys
Logins, brand assets, analytics, the real backstory. The more context we have up front, the less we guess — and the faster good work happens.
Agree what “done” looks like
We define success together before we build, so we’re aiming at the same target and you know exactly what you’re getting at the finish line.
What can doom a project
The same forces, flipped — the habits that quietly sink a build.
No clear decision-maker
When every choice needs a committee, momentum dies. Endless rounds, conflicting feedback, and a project that drifts for months instead of shipping.
Moving goalposts
The scope that keeps growing mid-build. New must-haves every week turn a clean plan into a moving target nobody can hit — or budget for.
Disappearing for weeks
We send work for review and hear nothing. Silence stalls everything downstream, and the momentum you paid for quietly leaks away.
Cheapest-option thinking
Picking on price alone, then expecting premium results. We’re the ones you call after the bargain build breaks — it’s cheaper to do it right once.
Hiring experts, then overruling them
Bringing us in for our judgment, then second-guessing every call against a quick AI answer. If you won’t trust the how, the what suffers.
Treating a build like a transaction
One-and-done, hand-it-off-and-vanish. The sites that thrive are the ones somebody keeps tending — a partnership, not a drop-off.
A mystery voice at the end
Someone with veto power who skipped every discussion, then surfaces near the finish line with new demands that upend a nearly-done build. Late surprises from absent stakeholders are how good projects get blown up.
Flying blind
Access and context that never arrive. Chasing logins, assets, and answers for weeks stalls the work and quietly pads the timeline.
“You’ll know it when you see it”
No agreed definition of done. A target that lives only in someone’s head means endless revisions and a finish line that keeps moving.
Questions, answered.
Do you do quick one-off fixes?
Usually not. Our minimum project lands around $6,500 and care plans start at $650/mo. If you just need a single bug squashed, we’re probably not your best fit — and we’d rather say so than waste your money.
Do you only work in WordPress?
It’s our home base, but not our whole world. We build on WordPress, run ActiveCampaign automation, and connect the systems around them. If a problem is better solved another way, we’ll tell you — we don’t force everything into one tool.
How fast can you start and ship?
Simple builds run about 3–5 weeks; complex ones, 2+ months. Care plans usually kick off within a week of signing. Once in a while the right way takes a little longer — when it does, we flag it early and explain why.
What does working together cost?
Projects start around $6,500 and care plans at $650/mo. We’re fixed-fee, not hourly, so you never sweat the clock. The full breakdown lives on our pricing page.
