How Engagements Work
Consultation first, always. From there: fixed-scope projects from $1,500, or ongoing care and retainers from $299 per month for maintenance, monitoring, and AI assistant upkeep. Senior engineers handle your work from the first call to the final deploy, and you get direct access to them the whole way: no ticket queues, no runaround, no waiting on answers.
Questions People Ask
What happens on the free fit call?
Fifteen minutes on the phone or a video call. You describe the problem, we tell you honestly whether we are the right fit and what it would roughly take. No slides and no pressure. If we are not the right fit, we will say so and point you somewhere better.
What is the Strategy Session and why is it paid?
Sixty minutes of focused working time on your actual business: your site, your stack, your AI options, with concrete recommendations you can act on whether or not you hire us. It costs $149, and the full amount is credited toward any engagement you book within 30 days, so it is free if we end up working together.
What kind of AI work do you do?
AI chat assistants trained on your own site content, AI search visibility (showing up when customers ask ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity), custom integrations such as AI product search and content automation, and agent tooling on the MCP standard. Production systems, not demos.
What does hosting consulting cover?
Migrations, performance and speed tuning, LiteSpeed and cPanel configuration, security hardening, backup and recovery strategy, and honest answers on whether your current host and plan actually fit your site.
Do you work on sites you did not build?
Most of our client work is on existing sites. Our practice is built on 30 years of reading other people's systems. Inheriting a site is normal, not a problem.
How do engagements work after the consultation?
Fixed-scope projects start at $1,500. Ongoing care and retainer plans start at $299 per month. Every engagement starts from the consultation so you buy the right thing, and your $149 session fee is credited when you book within 30 days.
