My team is bigger than it looks
The interns in the engine room.
My team is bigger than it looks. The AI tools below are my interns — what would otherwise be a 20-person team becomes one developer with the throughput of many. They handle the mechanical work so I can focus on craft and customer care. Every page that ships, a human reads.

Visit siteHow a project goes
From discovery call to launched site in three steps.
- 01
Discovery call
A 20-minute call. We listen, ask what you sell, where your current site falls short, and what would actually move the needle. No pitch deck.
- 02
Fast build
Starter sites ship in 1–2 weeks. Growth in 3–4. Smart in 4–6. Connor writes every page, with the AI interns handling the mechanical work — drafts go out as we go.
- 03
Launch + measure
We deploy to Vercel, run the Lighthouse pass with you on the call, and hand over the GitHub repo. Then we stay reachable.
Common questions
Things people ask before booking the call.
How long does a build take?
Starter sites ship in 1–2 weeks. Growth sites in 3–4 weeks. Smart and Custom builds depend on scope — we set a delivery date during the discovery call and stick to it.
What does "automation" actually mean here?
It means I write the boring parts once and let software handle them — code review, accessibility checks, image optimization, SEO audits, screenshot capture, performance regression testing. AI tools accelerate research and drafting. A human reads every page before launch and owns every design decision.
Do you guarantee Lighthouse 95+?
Yes. Every page we ship hits 95+ on Lighthouse Performance, Accessibility, and Best Practices, and 100 on SEO. If a page misses those targets at launch, we keep working until it hits them — no extra charge.
Who owns the site after launch?
You do. The code lives in a GitHub repo you own. The domain is registered to you. We deploy to Vercel under your account. If you want to take maintenance in-house or hire someone else, the handoff is clean — no lock-in, no proprietary CMS, no monthly ransom.
What does the satisfaction guarantee cover?
Until you genuinely like what we shipped, we keep iterating. The Connor-Founder guarantee: I personally read your feedback and make the changes — no separate revision tickets, no upsell, no ten-day delay for a checkbox change. We agree the site is done when you say it is.
Still here? Let's talk about your site.
Book a 20-minute discovery call. We will tell you honestly whether a rebuild is worth it — and if it is, what tier fits.
