The 48-hour sprint · Hour by hour

How we go from "let's do it" to a live website in two days.

No mystery. No six-week discovery phase. Here's exactly what happens, when it happens, and why we can do in 48 hours what most agencies stretch into 90 days of meetings.

Hour 0:00, 0:30

Kickoff call. 30 minutes, on you.

One quick video or phone call, no in-person, no flying in. We capture everything we need: services, story, photos, reviews, hours, locations, the voice you want, the customers you want, what your competitors are doing wrong.

  • Discovery brief (you talk, we write)
  • Visual direction (we show you 3 references)
  • Asset handoff (logos, photos, login info)
  • Domain check / purchase if needed
Hour 0:30, 6:00

Strategy & copy. Senior writer on the keyboard.

While you go back to running your business, our senior copywriter drafts every word, hero, services, about, FAQ, CTA. Tuned to your industry. SEO baked in from the first sentence.

  • Information architecture mapped
  • Conversion path drawn from landing to call/booking
  • All copy drafted (homepage + every breakout)
  • SEO keyword set selected for your city + niche
Hour 6:00, 18:00

Design. Custom, for your niche.

Senior designer builds your visual system from scratch, color, type, layout, motion. A pizzeria gets warm and editorial. An HVAC site gets bold and trustworthy. A dental practice gets calm and clinical. Never a template.

  • Custom brand system applied (color, type, tone)
  • Every page designed to high-fidelity
  • Mobile + desktop both designed in parallel
  • Imagery sourced / shot photos cleaned
Hour 18:00, 30:00

Build. Hand-coded by a senior dev.

No bloated page builders. No WordPress drag-drop. A senior engineer hand-builds the site for speed (sub-2s load), accessibility, and SEO. Bookings, forms, integrations all wired up.

  • Hand-coded HTML/CSS/JS (or Next.js for Commerce)
  • Forms wired to your inbox + SMS
  • Booking / reservation / e-commerce installed
  • Performance pass: under 2s load, 95+ Lighthouse
Hour 30:00, 36:00

Your review. Private staging link.

You get a password-protected staging URL. Click through every page, leave comments inline, request changes. We don't do "design by committee", one tight round, your decisions, no drama.

  • Click-through review (we walk you through if you want)
  • Inline comments, circle anything you want changed
  • Copy edits, color tweaks, photo swaps all welcome
  • Revisions turned around within hours, not days
Hour 36:00, 44:00

Polish & QA. Every link, every form.

Your edits applied. Then we QA on six device sizes, four browsers, three connection speeds. Every form submitted, every link clicked, every page audited for SEO and accessibility.

  • Cross-browser QA (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge)
  • Six device sizes tested (phone → 4K)
  • Form submissions verified end-to-end
  • WCAG AA accessibility pass
Hour 44:00, 48:00

Launch. The phone starts ringing.

Domain pointed, SSL provisioned, Google Search Console submitted, Google Business Profile synced, analytics live. The site is yours, on your domain, indexed and discoverable.

  • DNS cutover (zero downtime)
  • SSL & CDN activated
  • Search engines notified (sitemap submitted)
  • Owner handoff: how to update copy, swap photos, etc.
Why we can do this

It's not magic. It's cutting the right corners.

Most agencies waste your time on theater, endless discovery sessions, slide decks, mood boards, revision loops. We don't. Here's what we skip and why it doesn't matter.

01

One designer. One developer.

No project manager forwarding emails. No design committee. Two senior people, in one Slack channel, working in parallel.

02

Industry-tested patterns.

We've built for 40+ niches. We already know what converts in your category. No reinventing the wheel for every restaurant or HVAC shop.

03

Hand-coded, not page-built.

We don't fight a drag-drop UI. We write the code directly. It's faster to build, faster to load, and way easier to make perfect.

04

You're already the expert.

You know your business. We don't need a six-week discovery phase to figure out you do plumbing. We need 30 focused minutes.

05

One revision round, not five.

Endless revisions = endless agency hours billed = your site never ships. We get it right the first time, fix what matters, ship it.

06

Scope is fixed.

You picked a package. We deliver it. No "scope creep" up-charges. No "well, that's an extra $400/hr." Pay once, get the site.

The alternative is bleak

What 48hr Websites looks like vs. the other two options.

You have three real choices. Two of them are slow, expensive, or embarrassing. Here's the side-by-side.

Option A

Traditional agency

  • $8k–$40k price tag
  • 6–12 weeks to launch
  • 50% deposit, retainers thereafter
  • 4 stakeholder meetings before any code
  • You don't own the source
  • "Strategy" calls that cost $400/hr
Option B

48hr Websites

  • $499–$1,499 flat. One-time.
  • Live in 48 hours
  • Senior designer + senior dev
  • One 30-min kickoff. Done.
  • You own everything outright
  • SEO + hosting included
Option C

DIY Wix / Squarespace

  • "Free" but $30/mo forever
  • 40+ hours of your time
  • Looks like a template (because it is)
  • No copywriting help
  • SEO is on you
  • Lock-in: can't take your site elsewhere
