Why custom beats template builders for San Francisco businesses
A custom build ships faster than a Squarespace site after the third round of tweaks, and it performs better on Core Web Vitals — which matters for SEO and conversion. For $2,000 to $5,000 you get a tailored design, conversion copy that talks to your actual buyer, and a codebase you own. Bay Area dev shops cost $200k+, senior eng hires take nine months, offshore fails on timezone. Compared to Webflow you keep design flexibility and drop the monthly platform tax. Compared to a coastal agency you get the same quality without the layers of project managers between you and the person writing the code.
A three-week build that actually ships in three weeks
Week one is strategy and copy. I read your positioning, interview you for 45 minutes, and write the homepage and service pages myself. Week two is design and build. Week three is content, analytics setup, SEO, and QA. You see progress every two days. I work the hours the engagement needs. Async-first with a recurring sync at whatever time works for your team — no fixed office schedule. If the site goes live and you are not happy in the first 14 days, I refund you fully. Every site ships with a one-year bug warranty at no extra cost.
What a premium site looks like today
Sharp typography, tight performance (sub-one-second first paint), real case studies above the fold, one primary CTA per page, and a clear pricing section if it fits the business. No stock-photo parallax. The reference bar is Stripe, Linear, and Vercel. Starter tier from $2,000 covers a five-page startup site. Business tier from $5,000 adds blog, case studies, and a lead capture funnel. Redesign tier from $4,000 rebuilds an existing site without losing SEO equity. All engagements contract through my US LLC. Payment structure is negotiated per engagement.
