Serving Norman online
01 — Read this first
The honest part.
Our focus is serving Carlsbad businesses online. Our founder studies at the University of Oklahoma, which is why we also offer our services to Norman businesses.
What we do not have is a Norman office, a Norman storefront, or a Norman phone number, and we are not going to invent one. If a local address is what you are buying, hire someone who has one.
We have no Norman clients to show you yet. The work page links to the sites we have built elsewhere and explains our role in each one.
No affiliation with the University of Oklahoma. Crimson and cream are this page's colours because they are the town's; that is where it ends.
02 — Who this is for
Built for these people.
- Main Street and Campus Corner businesses — restaurants, bars, salons, shops, studios
- Trades and home services across Norman, Moore, and south Oklahoma City
- Clinics, firms, and practices whose site has not been touched since it launched
- Anyone competing against a chain that outranks them for their own street
03 — What it sounds like
If you have said one of these, you are in the right place.
“Students find us on Instagram, then land on a site that looks nothing like the place.”
“We are on page two for our own name and I do not know who to ask about it.”
“The site is fine on a laptop. On a phone in a parking lot it is unusable.”
“Somebody built it for us in 2016 and nobody can log in to change the hours.”
04 — What you get
The same build, wherever you are.
01
A custom design, drawn for the business
No template, no page builder, no theme with your logo dropped into it. Layouts are drawn for what you sell and who walks in.
02
A hand-built Next.js site on Vercel
Server-rendered, so a phone on a bad connection in a parking lot gets the page, not a loading spinner.
03
Up to five core pages
Home, the thing you actually sell, proof, about, contact. Structured for how people read before they call.
04
A CMS you can edit yourself
Change hours, prices, and a phone number without emailing us. Holiday hours are not a support ticket.
05
Local structured data
LocalBusiness schema with your real address, hours, and service area, so search engines and assistants get it from the source.
06
Mobile, keyboard, and screen-reader testing
Before launch, on real devices. Every page has to work with a keyboard alone.
07
Ada, if you want her
The AI assistant that answers questions on your site at 11pm and hands you the transcript. Optional, $299 to build, then $39 a month, never bolted on by surprise.
05 — Getting found in Norman
What being findable here actually takes.
01
Your Google Business Profile, fixed first
Categories, hours, service area, and photos before anything else. In a city this size the map pack decides more calls than the website does, and it is free to get right.
02
One page per thing you actually do
A single page listing nine services ranks for none of them. Each real service gets its own page, written in the words a Norman customer types.
03
Named geography, not a keyword list
Norman, Moore, Noble, and south OKC appear where they are true — service area, directions, the districts you actually serve — and nowhere else. Stuffed city lists are a penalty, not a strategy.
04
Answers an assistant can quote
Prices, hours, parking, and scope written as direct answers in plain text, with schema underneath. That is what gets read back when somebody asks their phone instead of searching.
06 — Proof
Nothing in Norman yet.
We have not built a site in Norman yet, so there is nothing here to show. Filling the space with unrelated work would tell you nothing about what we would do for you.
What we can show you is everything else the studio has shipped — live sites you can open, inspect, and judge on their own terms.
07 — How we work online
Four steps, in this order.
Step 01
Audit and brief
We look at your site, your map listing, and the competitors outranking you, and send the findings in writing before anyone designs anything. Free, and yours whether or not you hire us.
Step 02
Design
Layouts for the pages that matter, in your colours and your type. Two rounds of revisions, then it locks and we build.
Step 03
Build
Hand-coded in Next.js. Content goes into a CMS you can edit, and we test on real phones and with a keyboard before you see it.
Step 04
Launch and hand over
We point the domain, watch it for a week, and hand you the keys. You own the code and the accounts. Leaving is a repo transfer, not a negotiation.
08 — Scope and price
Same prices. No zip-code markup.
A five-page custom site is from $449 to build and $29 a month to host, maintain, and keep updated. Adding Ada, the AI assistant, makes it from $699 to build, then $59 a month. Ada on an existing site is $299 to build, then $39 a month. Those are the real numbers, they are the same numbers our California clients pay, and they are published on the pricing page.
Anything outside that gets quoted in writing before we start, not discovered halfway through. Every plan and every number is published.
09 — Questions
Before you ask.
- Can we work together online?
- Yes. We work online from the first brief through design, build and handoff. You can review the work and the scope before you decide. The portfolio and pricing page are open to inspect.
- How do we arrange calls?
- We book calls in your time zone and confirm the time with you. Send a brief or a question through the contact page. We reply within two business days.
- Do you have any Norman clients I can look at?
- Not yet. The work page links to sites we have built elsewhere. Each case explains what we did and labels it as client work, a concept demo or in-house work.
- Who owns the site when it is done?
- You do. The code, the domain, the analytics, and the hosting account are all in your name, and the repository transfers to you on request. The monthly fee buys hosting and maintenance, not custody of your website.
