We're new. Here's the honest version.

Where the portfolio is

This studio is new, and we're taking on our first founding clients right now. Rather than fabricate a portfolio — which is depressingly common in this industry and easy to check — we're offering a real discount to the first few businesses willing to be our case studies.

If you're weighing us up, here's what you can actually verify today rather than take on faith:

• This website. It's the audition. Run it through PageSpeed Insights. Check the accessibility. View source and look at the structured data. Tab through it with your keyboard. We built it the way we'd build yours.
• The free check. Ask for one. You'll get a real assessment of your site and your Google presence within 48 hours, with no obligation. If we're not thorough, you'll know before you've spent a cent.
• The person behind it. A career cybersecurity leader who runs security operations protecting hundreds of businesses by day. That's an unusual background for a web studio, and it's verifiable — read the about page, then ask hard questions on the call.
• The contract. Our offboarding procedure, our 30-day warranty and our "you own everything" promise are written down before you sign, not after.

The founding client offer

What we're looking for

• Charlotte-area coaches, clinics or trades
• A real business with real customers — not a pre-launch idea
• Someone who'll tell us the truth when something isn't working
• A willingness to let us measure results properly and publish the numbers, good or bad

What a case study will look like

When these are live, they'll follow the same format, and it won't be a mood board:

• The situation — what was broken, in the client's own words
• What we did, specifically
• Measured results — load speed before and after, map rank movement, enquiries per month, with the dates
• A quote from a real named person at a real named business, published with their written permission

If we can't show numbers, we won't publish a case study. A portfolio of pretty screenshots proves nothing except that we own a design tool.

Why we're telling you this

Because the alternative is lying, and our entire pitch is that we're the studio that doesn't. We won't promise you rankings. We won't promise ChatGPT will recommend you. And we won't pretend we've delivered work we haven't. If that costs us a few deals to someone with a fake testimonial page, that's a trade we'll take.
