Why we show a prototype first

The biggest small business complaint about web agencies: 'We didn't know what we were getting until it was too late.' Here's why we work differently.

The standard agency model asks you to pay a deposit, sit through a discovery process, and then - weeks later - finally see something. By then, you're committed. If you don't love it, you're stuck choosing between sunk cost and starting over.

Try before you buy

We build a real, clickable prototype of your site before we send an invoice. You can open it on your phone, share it with your team, and tell us what works and what doesn't. Only then do we talk about a build.

It's slower upfront. It's much faster overall - because we don't waste weeks building the wrong thing, and you don't waste money paying for a redesign that fixes our first guess.

Showing the work before asking for the money turns out to be a surprisingly good business practice.

If an agency won't show you something concrete before you commit, ask them why.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

How long does SEO take to work?
Local Maps results often shift inside 4 to 8 weeks. Organic search and AI visibility typically take 3 to 6 months of consistent content and technical improvements.
Do I need both SEO and Google Ads?
Often yes. Ads buy you placement today; SEO compounds for free over the long run. Most local businesses run a small ad budget while SEO matures.
Will my business show up in ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews?
It can, with clear authoritative content, schema markup, citations from trusted directories and a clean information architecture.
