Our Philosophy

We Make Tools to Build a Digital Foundation

Most web agencies sell isolated websites. They're digital brochures that create friction, technical debt, and vendor lock-in. We don't do that. We believe a website's only purpose is to function as the central nervous system of a business, a robust, integrated system that eliminates inefficiency and creates momentum. We are the general contractor for your entire digital operation.

Our Method: The 6P Development Process

Our philosophy isn't a slogan; it's an operational reality. We use a documented, systematic process to deliver predictable results. This is how we build better, faster, and give you back control.

01.

Probe & Plan Before Production

We start by probing the system to find the real issues, not just the symptoms. Through rapid prototyping and a rigorous planning phase, we lock the scope *before* the main build begins. This eliminates guesswork and ensures the final product solves the right problem.

02.

Produce with Discipline

Our async-only system ensures we build exactly what was planned, with zero scope creep. All communication is documented, all progress is tracked on a private staging link, and quality assurance is baked into the development cycle, not tacked on at the end.

03.

Polish for Performance

A project isn't "done" when it looks right; it's done when it performs. In our 7-day post-build polish phase, we ruthlessly tune for speed, test every form and function on real devices, and harden the site's security before the final handoff.

04.

Protect & Empower

We hand you the keys to a system you fully own and control, no vendor lock-in. We then protect your asset with optional monitoring and support, ensuring uptime and security long after launch. You are empowered, not dependent.

Forged in the Trades, Proven in Code

I’m Nolan Phelps, the founder. I didn't start in a design school; I started on construction sites at 16 after school failed me. The trades teach you a lesson that tech often forgets: if it breaks, it wasn’t built right. There are no excuses when the structure fails.

FunkPd was founded on that principle, born from direct frustration with bloated agencies. Our processes are async-by-necessity, hardened by failed scale attempts, poor infrastructure, and abandoned roles in past ventures. We don't build fragile things that need constant "maintenance" retainers. We engineer durable digital infrastructure that works as hard as you do.

Proof: Systems Engineered for Your Industry

We don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. A website for a local plumber has a different job than the operational backbone for a $100M industrial firm. We tailor our systems to solve the specific, high-stakes problems of your vertical.

πŸ› οΈFor Trades & Local Services

Client Profile: On-the-tools operators, contractors, and local service providers.

Core Problem: Every missed call is a lost job. They are invisible on Google Maps and need a reliable way to generate inbound leads without complexity.

Our Tailored Approach: The Lead-Capture Machine

We deploy brutally efficient, mobile-first websites. The focus is singular: speed to launch and speed to lead. We strip away all design fluff and operational drag to build a lean system that ranks on local search and converts visitors into phone calls and form submissions. This is about immediate ROI, not committees.

Proof: For Trade Grade Painting, a 72-hour rapid deployment resulted in a live site that generated organic leads within its first week of operation.

Clients: Coast & Country Plumbing, DMG Cleaning

βš™οΈFor Industrial & Enterprise

Client Profile: B2B manufacturers, high-volume e-commerce, and enterprise-level firms with $10M-$100M+ in revenue.

Core Problem: They are crippled by technical debt. Their systems are a fragmented patchwork of slow, insecure, and unmanageable legacy code, posing a significant operational risk.

Our Tailored Approach: The Operational Backbone

We engineer for stability, scalability, and internal process integration. The work involves deep system refactoring, consolidating multiple databases, building custom data importers for thousands of SKUs, and creating a secure, high-performance platform that internal marketing teams can manage without breaking. This is about risk mitigation and long-term stability.

β€œHe is our go-to... with the ability to troubleshoot and remedy solutions that other web agencies could not solve.”

Clients: Minetek, Fanquip, Actiwork, Cigar Emperor

✨For Boutique Services & Wellness

Client Profile: Coaches, clinics, spas, creatives, and specialized consultants.

Core Problem: Their online presence fails to build the high level of trust required to sell a premium, personal service. The user experience feels generic and doesn't connect with their niche audience.

Our Tailored Approach: The High-Trust Experience

We build for brand integrity and user confidence. The focus is on clean aesthetics, accessible design (e.g., high-contrast typography for older clientele), and seamless integration with booking or payment systems. We create a calm, professional, and trustworthy digital environment that reflects the quality of their care and expertise.

β€œWorking with FunkPd was a game-changer. They truly understood my vision... and brought it to life in a way that perfectly reflects our dedication to craftsmanship.”

Clients: Keck Custom Tailor, Full Moon Esthetics, Pascale Landriault

Understandable, fun to work with, and excellent problem solving.

I have no knowledge about webdev and Nolan was able to explain everything in such an understandable way! It was easy and fun to work with him and he was excellent in solving a problem I had for ages with my website. (I hired another webdev before who couldn't solve it.) I would recommend him 100%! Thank you so much, Nolan! πŸ™‚
