Questions

Everything you need to know about working with us — straight answers, no fluff. We serve businesses across Oregon and the greater Portland metro.

Web Design

Our Launch and Business websites (up to 5 pages) go live 7 days after we have your logo, photos, and content notes. Larger custom builds with more pages, ecommerce, or integrations get their own timeline during the consultation. Either way, the biggest factor is how quickly materials and feedback come back: the sooner they do, the sooner you're live.

100%. Everything we build belongs to you — the design, the code, the content, and the domain. We hand over full credentials and access when the project is complete. You are never locked into a proprietary platform that holds your site hostage.

Template platforms like Wix and Squarespace are fine for a DIY hobby site — but they're not designed to win in competitive markets. They limit your SEO control, lock you into their ecosystem, and look like every other business using the same theme. We build custom sites using AI-powered development tools, which means faster builds, cleaner code, and a result that's 100% yours. No subscriptions, no platform dependency, no ceilings on growth.

Yes — every website we build is mobile-first. Over 60% of web traffic comes from mobile devices, and Google's ranking algorithm prioritizes mobile-friendly sites. We test on multiple devices and screen sizes before every launch.

We need your brand assets (logo, colors, fonts if you have them), any existing content you want to keep, examples of sites you like, and your goals. If you're starting from scratch, no problem — we can guide you through all of it. The discovery call is designed to capture everything we need.

Search Engine Optimization

SEO is a long-term investment, and nobody can honestly promise a timeline. How fast anything moves depends on your industry, your competition, and the current state of your site. What we can promise is the work: we show you every month what we did and where your rankings and traffic stand, so you never have to guess.

No reputable SEO agency can guarantee specific rankings — and any that do are either lying or using black-hat tactics that will get your site penalized. What we commit to is a disciplined process, white-hat methods only, and complete transparency about what we did and what changed.

Local SEO focuses on ranking in your geographic area — the "near me" searches and Google Maps results that drive calls and foot traffic. National SEO targets broader, non-location-specific keywords. For Oregon businesses in competitive markets like Portland, Beaverton, or Lake Oswego, local SEO is typically the best starting point. We'll assess which approach (or combination) makes the most sense for your business during the strategy phase.

Absolutely. We send a detailed monthly report covering keyword rank changes, organic traffic trends, actions taken during the month, and the plan for next month. We believe in complete transparency — you should always know exactly what you're paying for and what impact it's having.

SEO rankings are not permanent. Competitors are constantly trying to outrank you, Google updates its algorithm regularly, and new content needs to be produced to maintain authority. Think of SEO like a gym membership — the results come from consistent effort. That said, a well-established site does require less maintenance, so costs can decrease over time as you reach your goals.

Marketing & Pricing

It depends on the service. AI systems are packaged flat-rate — the AI Starter and AI Growth packages are published on our AI Systems page, and full transformations are scoped to the business. Web design and SEO are quoted per project: web builds typically range from a few thousand to ten-plus thousand dollars, and SEO and marketing retainers are priced monthly based on the level of service. Contact us and we'll be upfront about costs within 24 hours.

Website projects are one-time engagements with no ongoing commitment required. For SEO and marketing retainers, we ask for a 3-month initial commitment so we have enough time to properly execute and show results. After that, it's month-to-month. We don't believe in locking clients into long contracts — we want to keep your business because of results, not fine print.

We don't promise ROI figures, because results depend on your industry, budget, competition, and starting point. During your consultation we look at your market and talk honestly about what's realistic. Once we start, every system and campaign is tracked, so you see exactly what it's doing.

Simple — fill out the contact form on our Contact page or send us a message. We'll schedule a free 30-minute discovery call to learn about your business, your goals, and your current situation. From there, we'll put together a custom proposal within 48 hours. No obligation, no pressure.
