You handed over the deposit. You waited. You got screenshots of a half-built site with stock photos still in the template and a logo slapped on a cookie cutter ThemeForest design.
Three weeks later, you have no live URL, no working contact form, and a folder of files you cannot deploy. The bill ran higher than the quote and you still have nothing you can point traffic at.
Now you are behind schedule. Your ads are queued. Your audience is waiting. You need someone to build the thing, prove it works, and hand it over fast.
This is the handshake build. Two tracks. Tight scope. Verifiable output.
We find fit by doing real work together. Tight scope. Verifiable output. No theatre.
It ships in 1 to 3 days. You see how I build. I see how you respond. If the chemistry is right, we scale. If not, you still walk with a working site.
No discovery calls where we rehearse your origin story. No mood boards. No strategic alignment theatre. We build, we ship, we prove it works.
If we knock out a focused build together and you walk away happy, that is the start of years of good business. This package tests the rhythm.
Hand coded HTML, CSS, and JS or a single index.php. One hero, two to three sections, one integration that works. Fast and disciplined.
If that is you, scroll to the WordPress build or reach out for custom.
Everything is tuned so you can point traffic with confidence.
Send the rough draft, captions, or notes app dump. I scaffold the hero and sections, then we spend about four hours together tightening until it is sharp.
Calendly, HubSpot, AgileCRM, or a simple contact form. You provide the account and codes. I wire it, test it, and show proof it captures.
Images are converted to WebP and lazy loaded. Fonts are served from a CDN or self hosted depending on the stack. Mobile LCP targets under 2.5 seconds.
Default deploy is Cloudflare Pages. GitHub Pages or your own host works too. I guide DNS and SSL so you keep control.
Title tags, meta descriptions, Open Graph preview image, and favicon. Not an audit, just the baseline so the page looks right when shared.
No logo? You get a functional SVG wordmark and favicon. Enough to look legitimate without turning it into a branding project.
Fast, asynchronous, and verifiable at every checkpoint.
You send assets, copy, and integration codes. A fifty percent deposit books the slot.
I build the structure, convert your media, wire fonts, and set up the integration.
We work together over direct message, email, or a focused call, editing in real time until the copy and layout lock.
Site goes live on HTTPS. DNS and SSL are verified. You receive the URL, source files, Lighthouse captures, and contact proof.
1 to 3 days from intake to live.
One page. One integration. No CMS. No database. You keep full control of every account.
Full WordPress install with Astra and Elementor. Five pages editable from day one. Ships in 1 to 2 weeks.
If you are past this stage, look at Detailed Growth or Pro Systems.
Everything is wired so your crew can publish and prove it works.
Headers, footers, and five page layouts built in Elementor so you can tweak copy and imagery without code.
Contact forms or booking tools integrated, tested, and documented so proof of capture ships with the build.
MinimalStack-ready hosting configured with caching, SSL, CDN, and monitoring so you stay fast.
Yoast or Rank Math configured, sitemap submitted, Search Console and analytics wired, and screenshots logged.
Loom walkthrough, written guide, and credential checklist so you can keep shipping without me.
Live URL, repo or zip, Lighthouse captures, Search Console verification, and contact receipts.
Async delivery. Tight feedback loops. Evidence at every stage.
You send approved copy, assets, integrations, and the kickoff deposit.
We confirm sitemap, navigation, hosting, and integrations while staging spins up.
Templates, layouts, fonts, and assets built in Elementor with copy tightened together.
Forms, email, calendars, and tracking wired, tested, and recorded.
Async walkthrough and revision pass to tighten copy, imagery, and interactions.
DNS cutover, SSL confirmation, and performance tuning to lock in green metrics.
Proof bundle delivered with repo, reports, walkthroughs, and owner checklist.
If you are done with theatre, pitch decks, and ghosting, this is the handshake project that gets you live.
