Measured by your browser, not scripted · yours gets built the same way

The build · 01 hand coded

Assets, not liabilities.

Website builders are cheap upfront and expensive in the long run. We build the other kind of site: one that is fast on day one, stays fast, and does not need a developer on retainer to keep it standing.

Fast by default

Every page is built ahead of time and served from a global edge network, so it loads quickly and keeps visitors around.

Fully responsive

Looks right on mobile, tablet, and desktop. We design for the phone first, so every customer gets the best version of your site.

Clean code

No page builder bloat and no plugin vulnerabilities. Just clean, semantic code that is easy to maintain and yours to keep.

Custom code · 02 versus page builders

Why invest in custom code?

Four places where a builder site quietly costs you, and what a hand coded site does instead.

Nothing to break into

Builders

WordPress powers about 40% of the web, which makes it the number one target for hackers.

Core Arc

Our sites are static files. There is no database to hack.

Built to rank

Builders

Slow sites get penalized by Google, and builders load heavy code you never use.

Core Arc

We ship only the code your pages actually use, so they load fast.

Zero maintenance

Builders

Plugin updates often break builder sites, which means constant paid maintenance.

Core Arc

Our code does not rot. It runs for years without being touched.

No plugin tax

Builders

Need a form? $50 a year. Need SEO? $100 a year. The hidden costs add up fast.

Core Arc

We code features by hand. You own them forever.

The work · 03 live sites

Portfolio & demos.

We let the work speak for itself. Whether it is a live client project or a concept build for an industry, speed is the signature. Open any of them and see.

The ledger · 04 first year, itemized

The cheap website trap.

Questions · 07 asked, answered

Common questions.

Ownership, contracts, payments, and email: the things people ask before starting. Something else on your mind? Ask us directly.

Do I own the website?+

With a one-time build ($1,500 or $3,500), yes. You own 100% of the code and design. The $199 monthly subscription is a lease: you are paying for the service of having a website, so you do not own the code, but you can buy out the site after 24 months.

Is there a minimum contract for the subscription?+

Yes, there is a 12 month minimum commitment for the $0 down plan. This covers our upfront cost of designing and building your custom site. After 12 months, it continues month to month.

How do payments work?+

For monthly subscriptions, we set up secure automatic billing through Stripe so you never have to think about invoices. For one-time builds, we take a 50% deposit to start the project, and the remaining 50% is due when the site is ready to launch.

Do you host my email?+

No. We strongly recommend Google Workspace or Microsoft Outlook for your business email. We only host the website files, so your email is never affected when we do maintenance on the site.
