Why Skynet

A one-person studio with an unfair advantage: speed.

Big agencies quote $2,000+ and take six weeks because their process has layers: account managers, project managers, designers, developers — each handing off to the next. You pay for that overhead, and the message gets lost somewhere in between.

Here, the person you talk to is the person who designs, writes, and codes your site. One owner, one accountable human, zero markup on middlemen. That's how you get a custom site for $299 — and how it ships in 7 days.

Hand-coded, not dropped in

No Wix, no Squarespace, no theme installs. Clean code you own outright.

Copy that sells included

You get words, not lorem ipsum — every headline written to win the click.

You approve before you pay

The mockup is free. If you don't love it, walk away — nothing charged.

Guaranteed, in writing

Late by a day? It's free. Unhappy with the build? Full refund.

The guarantee

If your site isn't live in 7 days, it's free.

And if you don't love the design after your revision rounds, you get a full refund — no forms, no friction, no hard feelings. The risk sits with me, not with you.

What we do

One focus: websites that make you money.

No agencies, no account managers, no bloated retainers. Everything below is one flat price, delivered fast.

Custom website design

Hand-coded, mobile-first sites. Never a template, never a page builder — everything built from scratch for you.

Landing pages that convert

Every section has one job: moving a visitor toward booking you, buying from you, or reaching out.

Copywriting included

I write the words too — not AI slop, but clear, persuasive copy that sounds like you on a good day.

SEO & schema basics

Meta tags, structured data, and clean code so Google understands — and ranks — your site.

Analytics & tracking

GA4, Meta Pixel, and conversion events wired up and verified before we call it done.

Redesigns & upgrades

Have a dated site? I rebuild it sharper, faster, and more profitable — without the agency price tag.

The professional stuff

What “professional” means to us.

Pretty isn't enough. Every Skynet build clears the same bar — the boring, essential standards that separate a business asset from a brochure.

Hand-coded & version-controlled

Clean HTML, CSS and JS tracked in Git. You own the code outright — no site-builder lock-in.

Performance-tuned

95+ PageSpeed, green Core Web Vitals, and image compression + caching out of the box.

SEO & schema foundations

Meta, Open Graph, Service/FAQ schema, sitemap.xml and robots.txt — all included.

Analytics & pixel setup

GA4, Meta Pixel and conversion events wired and verified before we call it done.

Design-first process

Layouts are designed and approved in Figma before a single line of code is written.

Secure by default

SSL everywhere, honeypot spam protection on every form, HTTPS redirects, no sketchy plugins.

Staging + preview link

You see the real build in a private preview before it ever touches your live domain.

Launch + handover docs

Domain, DNS, Stripe and every login documented in plain English. It's your site, fully yours.

How we do it

A tight 7-day loop. No waiting, no mystery.

You should never be in the dark about your own website. Here's exactly what happens, day by day.

STEP 1/4

Free mockup in 48 hours

Pick a package, pay $0 upfront, answer a 5-minute questionnaire. I design your homepage — at no cost.

STEP 2/4

Copy, build, content

I write your copy, source clean visuals, and hand-code the full site. No templates, no builders, no shortcuts.

STEP 3/4

You review & revise

Two revision rounds on every package. You approve every detail on desktop and mobile before launch.

STEP 4/4

Live in 7 days

Custom domain, SSL, analytics, and a handover walkthrough. You look professional by next week.

The showcase

Anticipate your outcome. This is what you get.

Three real builds, three real wins — every site starts from a blank canvas inside a browser window, exactly how yours will ship.

3 client calls booked in week oneLive in 6 days
I want this — start at $299

Prove it

Same business. Same goal. Night and day.

This is a real 48-hour rebuild: the dated page visitors would bounce from, and the Skynet version they now buy from. Drag the slider and see the difference yourself.

  • Load time: 8.5 seconds → 1.2 seconds

  • PageSpeed score: 45 → 99

  • Reading on a phone: pinch-and-squint → pixel-perfect

  • What visitors see first: a wall of text → a clear offer + booking button

Result: 3 client calls booked in week one — from the same traffic, just a site that finally looks like the business it represents.

FAQ

Questions, answered

How fast will my website be live?+

Design within 48 hours, site live within 7 days — or it's free.

Do I need to provide content or photos?+

No. I write conversion-optimized copy and source clean design assets for you.

What if I don't like the design?+

You get 2 full revision rounds on every package, plus a free mockup before paying anything.

Is $299 really the price?+

Yes. $299 for a custom 1-page site. No hidden fees, no monthly retainers. Hosting costs are on you (~$6/mo) or I set it up for free.

Do you build Shopify stores or big e-commerce setups?+

No — I specialize in fast, high-converting personal sites and landing pages. That's all I do, so it's all I'm good at.

Who actually does the work?+

One person: the same designer, copywriter, and developer you talk to. No hand-offs, no account managers, no miscommunication.

Can you work with my brand colors and logo?+

Yes — share your logo, colors, and any style references in the questionnaire and the design starts from your brand, not from mine.

Can I edit the site myself after launch?+

Yes. You get the full source code, plain-English handover docs, and every login. Simple content updates are straightforward, and I stay on chat for 30 days to help with anything.

Do I own the domain, hosting, and content?+

Everything is yours: domain registered in your name, hosting under your account, source code in your pocket. No lock-in, no hidden ties, no hostage websites.
