A website you manage by email, built by senior creative directors
Senior creative directors design and build it. Then Julie keeps it current and keeps it found. Email her at 2am on a Saturday and the change is done in about ten minutes.
Twenty years of building websites for people who can't afford a mistake
We have been shipping websites since 2007, for brands with complicated demands, fixed budgets and dates that don't move. Julie is what we built for ourselves after a few hundred of them.
Some of the brands we have built for since 2007.
A new website, and an AI web developer to keep it current
You get two parts. First, senior creative directors design and build your website. Simple websites go live in as little as two weeks. After launch, Julie maintains your website. She extends it and improves it for one monthly fee.
Senior creative directors design your website. They also work on Delta Faucet and Torani. We do not use templates.
We build your website to load fast. Pages that load in 1 second convert three times better than pages that load in 5 seconds (Portent, 2022).
Julie updates your content, metadata and structure each time the copy changes. Then Google and AI tools can read your website.
That is the build. After launch, Julie is our AI web developer.
Change anything, by email
Ask Julie to rewrite a section, replace it or add a new page. You get a preview in about ten minutes, day or night.
Found by Google and by AI
We build your site so search engines and AI tools can read it easily: fast pages, clean code and a clear page structure. When you ask for a change, Julie keeps the page titles and descriptions up to date.
Monitored 24 hours a day
We check every website every five minutes. If your website stops, we get an alert in five minutes or less. Hosting and SSL are included. We check every page at phone and desktop sizes before it reaches you.
Images and opinions, too
Ask her to find an image of people working around a laptop. She pulls one from a stock library, crops it, adjusts it to your brand colors and places it. Ask her what she recommends.
"This is the best website system I've ever used."
"One of the most amazing website solutions I've ever experienced."
"I'm kind of in love with Julie. I want her to be my friend and find myself using 'please' and 'thank you'."
Willie Caldwell, owner, Fibonacci Brewing. He changes his website three to four times a week. He has never filed a ticket, opened an admin panel or waited on a developer.
You send an email. That is all.
At a typical agency, the same request goes through several people and can take weeks. Julie is the designer, developer and copywriter in one place. She answers at once. Anyone you authorize can ask. No change is published until you approve it.
Julie, the middle section on /pricing looks tired. Can you make it better? Also new headline: "Built for teams that ship weekly," and the plan card should read $49.
Rebuilt that section three ways and picked the one closest to your brand. Headline and price are in, metadata updated to match. Here's a private copy of the site. Your live page hasn't moved.

Live · 2:25amShe does not work on your live website
Julie builds and checks every change on a private copy. She shows it to you before a customer can see it.
-
A private copy of your website
Every request happens on a complete, separate copy of your website. Your live website does not change. If you do not approve it, Julie does not publish it.
-
She checks her own work
She loads the pages at phone and desktop sizes. She screenshots them and looks for anything broken. She does this before you see them, and again before she publishes.
-
Only your people can ask
Julie accepts requests only from the people you name. She rejects requests from any other address. No change is published until you approve it. We serve your pages as finished files: no admin login, no plugins, no database to attack.
Most of this is already on your books
Hosting here, a maintenance retainer there, a few designer hours a month, and someone on your team spending Tuesday afternoons in an admin panel. It rarely appears as one number, so it rarely gets looked at.
The first call is an inventory, not a quote. We add up what you pay for your website today and list everything connected to it. Then we come back with two numbers: the build, and Julie's monthly. It is different for every company. Builds start at $5,000.

Julie keeps learning
Julie started with your website. Now we are teaching her more of your marketing. It works the same way: you send an email, and you approve the result.
Email Julie a photo and a few words. She writes the post, and it goes out on your social channels after you approve it.

New tools inside Julie to help more people find your site in Google and in AI search.
These new services will be separate from your website plan.

Julie is fast because the people who trained her have built websites since 2007.
Questions and answers
The basics
Who gets my email?
Julie, our AI web developer. Senior creative directors check her work, and you can always ask to talk to a person.
What does it cost?
Builds start at $5,000. There are two prices: the build and the monthly fee. Bring your hosting, maintenance, developer and design bills to the first call. You get a fixed proposal after that call.
What happens to our current website?
Two options. We move your existing website as it is, or our creative team redesigns it first. Simple websites go live in as little as two weeks. Hosting comes with it, and you can cancel what you pay elsewhere.
Does she work with the tools we already use?
Booking widgets, cookie consent, your email platform, analytics, chat, forms. Whatever is connected to your website now moves with it. That list sets the scope of a build. So it is the first thing we ask for.
Does she replace our designers or writers?
Only if you want her to. Most teams make their own creative and use Julie to build it and publish it. You decide how much she does.
Can Julie help with social media or email marketing?
Social media posting is in beta now, and email marketing is in planning. Both will be separate services from your website plan. Ask us about them on your call.
Security
Can she break my website?
She never works on your live website. Every request happens on a complete private copy. You review it there. She checks the pages at phone and desktop sizes before you see the link, and again before she publishes.
Who is allowed to make changes?
Only the people you name. Julie rejects requests from any other address. A request never changes your live website. It produces a private copy. Publishing takes a separate approval from you. The worst case for a spoofed email is an unwanted preview link, not a defaced homepage.
If it doesn't work out
Do we own the website, or do you?
You do. Your website files are 100% yours. You can request a backup at any time. If you move, put the files on any server you like. We are an agency that has built websites since 2007. We are not a freelancer who can disappear with your login.
What if we want to leave?
You go month to month after the first three months, with 30 days' notice by email. Your website keeps serving exactly as it is, wherever you move it. Only the email service that changes it for you ends.
Tell us about your website
Two quick questions so the first conversation starts in the right place. A real person reads every one of these and replies within a business day, usually faster.
We come back with the build and the monthly as two real numbers, once we know what you have.
