What we build
One local team for the website that brings customers in, the software that runs your operations, and the hosting that keeps both fast and secure.
Mobile-first, accessible, and written to rank for the searches your customers actually make in Boise, Meridian and Nampa.
Client portals, booking and intake systems, live-tracking dashboards and internal tools, built around how you actually work.
Managed hosting, security, backups and simple monthly text and image changes, with bigger support plans when you need more time.
Our platform
Most small-business sites run on WordPress plus a stack of plugins. It's flexible, but slow, high-maintenance and the most targeted platform on the web. We build differently.
Pages are pre-built and served from a global network. Speed is a Google ranking factor, and visitors don't wait. [Add measured PageSpeed score]
No public login page, plugins or database on your live site, so there's far less to attack or patch.
Structured data, clean code and AI-crawler-ready files come standard, so you show up in Google and in answers from ChatGPT and AI Overviews.
Describe a change ("swap this photo", "update our hours") and see it live. There's no page builder to learn.
| Typical WordPress | buildplatform | |
|---|---|---|
| Page speed | Slowed by plugins & database calls | Pre-built pages from a global network |
| Security | Login, plugins & database exposed | Nothing dynamic exposed to attack |
| Maintenance | Constant plugin & core updates | No plugin treadmill |
| Search & AI | Depends on add-on plugins | Schema, llms.txt & AI-ready by default |
| Editing | Learn a page builder | Describe the change in plain English |
Need WordPress? We still build and host it when it's the right fit for your project.
Web apps & dashboards
We design and build the portals and dashboards Idaho businesses run on every day. Here's some of what's live now.
FLD Transport · Client portal
FLD Transport moves seven-figure cars across the western U.S. We built their brand site and an owner portal that gives every client complete visibility from pickup to delivery.
A real-time operations hub for a multi-location hospitality group. It has role-based access for admins, managers, floor staff, DJs and security, and covers check-in, nightly settlements, cross-venue transfers, table service and end-of-night reporting.
A live lineup display for venues. It updates the moment staff check in, so guests always see who's performing that night, with no manual updates.
Running your business on spreadsheets, group texts and three different logins? That's usually where a custom dashboard pays for itself.

Our custom website packages start at $1,550 for up to 5 pages and go to $4,850+ for larger sites with booking, CRM or e-commerce. Web apps and dashboards start at $4,850, and hosting starts at $20/mo.
Most custom websites launch in 3–6 weeks, depending on size and how quickly content and feedback come together. Ready-made niche sites can be live in 48 hours. Web apps are planned in phases, usually with a first working version in 6–12 weeks.
A website tells people about your business and brings in leads. A web app does work for your business: customers log in, book, track orders or see their data, and your team runs operations from a dashboard. We build both, and often connect them.
Sites on our platform are pre-built and served from a global network, with no database or plugins exposed to the public. That makes them load faster and leaves far less for attackers to target. We still build on WordPress when a project needs it.
Most of our clients are in Boise, Meridian, Nampa, Caldwell, Eagle, Star and Kuna, and we love meeting in person. We also work with businesses across the U.S., and we build white-label websites for IT firms and agencies.
Every site we build includes technical SEO, local business schema, fast load times and content written around real searches. Rankings also depend on your Google Business Profile and reviews, and we'll help you set those up.
Tell us about your project. You'll hear back from a real person, usually the same day.
