No. 01 — Why It's Different

Why startups need a specialist build.

A startup's website is judged by buyers, hires and investors before anyone opens the deck.

Early-stage trust is borrowed, and the website is where it's lent — or refused. A vague hero, a hidden pricing page and a heavy template quietly tell every visitor the product is probably the same. Meanwhile your best engineer is editing the homepage instead of shipping.

We build the marketing site as its own product: positioning-first design where the value lands in one glance, signup and demo paths everywhere they earn a place, a pricing page that closes deals while you sleep, and a WordPress back end marketing can iterate weekly — no engineers required, no platform lock-in.

No. 02 — The Reality

What's really riding on your startup site.

01

Nobody demos a product whose homepage confused them.

02

Investors due-diligence your website first.

03

Your best engineer shouldn't be editing the pricing page.

No. 05 — What Kills Signups

What kills signups.

Startup sites lose the same buyers in the same ways. Fix these and the funnel fills.

01 · Message

A fuzzy value prop

If the hero doesn't land in five seconds, the tab closes.

02 · Pricing

A hidden pricing page

Hidden pricing reads as expensive — and evasive.

03 · Proof

No logos, no numbers

Early trust is borrowed. Show every scrap you have.

04 · Speed

A heavy marketing site

A slow site selling fast software breaks the story.

No. 07 — The Stakes

The gap where your demos leak.

Every confused visitor is a demo that never got booked.

You fight for every click — cold emails, launches, ads, content — and then a vague hero or a hidden pricing page quietly disqualifies buyers who were ready to look. That's not a traffic problem; it's a clarity problem, and it's fixable. A positioning-first site converts the attention you're already earning.

Ask Yourself

If a buyer landed from a cold email right now, would they get it in five seconds — or close the tab?

No. 09 — Words to Build By

Startup truths worth remembering.

01

Clarity converts before cleverness does.

Your homepage is the pitch you're not in the room for.

They took us from a scrappy startup site to something that punches above its weight. We closed our first enterprise deal a month after launch.

Finally a site that looks like us and not a template. It loads instantly, ranks, and I can edit it myself. Worth every cent.

No. 16 — FAQs

Tech & startup FAQs.

Straight answers, no sales fog.

Why WordPress instead of Webflow or Framer?
Ownership and headroom — no seat pricing, no platform lock-in, and a back end your marketing team already knows. You own every line of it.
Can our team edit it without developers?
That's the point. Clean, reusable blocks mean marketing ships new pages and experiments in minutes, not sprints.
Can we A/B test and iterate after launch?
The build is structured for it — swappable sections, event tracking and a layout that welcomes experiments rather than fighting them.
Can you match our product's brand and UI?
Yes — the marketing site is designed to feel like a natural extension of the product, down to type, colour and component language.
How long does a startup site take?
Most startup sites launch in 2–3 weeks, with the timeline locked in the brief — useful when there's a launch date breathing down your neck.
What if we're pre-launch and still figuring out the story?
Common, and fine. Positioning is stage one of the build — we help sharpen the one-line story before anything gets designed, and the site is built to be rewritten as you learn.
