You have a logo and a round. You need a URL by the board meeting.
Full brand site — 8–12 pages, CMS, forms, analytics — launched in 3 weeks. Same delivery rhythm that shipped GigEasy from zero to investor demo.
Who this is for
Founder of a newly-funded startup with a logo, a pitch deck, and a three-week window before investors, hires, or customers start asking for a real URL.
The pain today
- Investors and candidates asking for a site that does not exist
- No time to vet and onboard a five-person agency
- Squarespace templates that scream freelancer
- No clear IA that will survive past seed stage
- Content and design deadlocked — nobody can start because nobody has started
The outcome you get
- Live investor-grade site in 3 weeks, Next.js 16 on Vercel
- 8–12 pages with an information architecture that holds to Series A
- CMS for future edits (Sanity, Contentful, or Notion) so marketing can self-serve
- Analytics stack wired from day one — GA4, Plausible, HubSpot
- 1-year bug warranty, Work Made for Hire, so you own everything
What a launch-worthy site needs in 2026
Investor-grade doesn't mean flashy. It means credible. A launch site needs a clear one-sentence positioning, proof that the team has shipped before, a simple product explanation that a non-expert can repeat, a careers page because you're hiring, and a contact path that actually reaches the founder. Visually it has to feel intentional — a small type system, two or three colors, one good photo, purposeful motion. No AI-generated hero images. No pastel blob abstracts. A homepage, an about, a product or service page, contact, careers, and a blog scaffold is usually enough. Everything else can ship later.
IA that scales past the seed round
The biggest mistake I see is designing the site for where the company is today. At seed you have one product. At Series A you have two products, a customer story library, a careers page with 20 openings, and a changelog. I build the IA with that future in mind. Clean URL structure (/products/x, /customers/y, /blog/z), a component system that supports adding new sections without a redesign, a CMS schema that handles case studies and blog posts as first-class content. The site launches lean but doesn't need a rebuild in six months when marketing headcount shows up.
My 3-week launch sprint
Week one: kickoff, positioning workshop, wireframes, copy first draft, visual direction. End of week one you sign off the visual. Week two: full design, content finalization, CMS setup, build starts. Week three: build completes, analytics wiring, QA on real devices, Core Web Vitals pass, staging review, training session for your marketing person, DNS flip. Three weeks is tight but doable when there's one senior engineer on every layer — no handoffs between designer, developer, and project manager. You get daily async updates and one weekly 30-minute call.
Ongoing post-launch support
Launch day is not the end. The site ships with a 1-year bug warranty — if something breaks that I built, I fix it at no charge. You can also keep me on a light post-launch engagement (smaller than the full Websites or Applications retainer) for ongoing content additions, new pages, or minor design updates. Most founders use this for the first 3–6 months while marketing hires ramp up. After that the site's CMS + component system is simple enough that an in-house designer or marketer can run it without me.
Case study: GigEasy 3-week MVP
GigEasy is a Barclays/Bain Capital-backed fintech. They had a deck, a concept, and an investor demo scheduled three weeks out. I designed, built, and shipped both the investor-facing marketing site and the MVP worker platform in that window — Laravel, React, AWS, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, Pulumi. The demo hit. The company kept building on the same foundation. Three weeks vs the typical 10-week timeline for a comparable build. Same compressed process I use on brand-site-only launches: one senior engineer, no agency layers, daily async updates, a public kickoff-to-launch calendar.
Pricing, tiers, 1-year bug warranty
New brand websites typically fit the Websites Business tier, starting at $5,000 fixed-price for 8–12 pages with CMS and analytics. The Starter tier ($2,000) covers leaner launches (5–6 pages, simpler design). The Corporate tier ($10,000) is for deeper IA, multi-language, or complex integrations. Every project carries the 14-day money-back guarantee and the 1-year bug warranty. Work Made for Hire — you get the code, the Figma, the CMS setup, and the docs. Nothing lives on my accounts after handover.

Frequently asked questions
The questions prospects ask before they book.
- Can you really launch in 3 weeks?
- Yes — on standard 8–12 page brand sites with a decided positioning and brand direction. The risk is in the inputs: if copy approval is slow or brand decisions get re-opened, the timeline slips. I share a daily status so you can see exactly where the risk is and which decision is blocking.
- What if I don't have copy or brand yet?
- For copy I can draft the site from a 90-minute positioning workshop plus your deck and recorded founder interview. For brand, I can work with a basic logo and type direction; full brand identity work (logo, wordmark, full system) is outside scope but I can recommend designers I trust.
- Which CMS do you use?
- Usually Sanity or Contentful for marketing-heavy teams, Notion-as-CMS for lean founder-only editing, or sometimes MDX in the repo for engineering-led teams. The choice is driven by who will actually edit the site in the next 12 months and how much structure they need.
- Can you add a blog and case studies later?
- Yes — the CMS schema ships with blog and case study content types ready on day one, even if you don't have content yet. Adding the first real posts is a 1-day follow-up engagement or something your marketing hire can handle directly once the structure is in place.
- What about hosting and domain?
- The site ships on Vercel (production-grade, free tier often enough at launch, predictable pricing as you scale). I help with DNS on launch day regardless of where your domain is registered (Namecheap, Google Domains, GoDaddy, etc). You own the Vercel project from day one.
