How we work

No sales calls, no proposal decks. You start, we run a focused discovery, we build, we launch. A clear path from first yes to live site.

01

Discovery.

You start with a few details, then a focused discovery to get the full picture of your business. No call to schedule, no proposal to wait on.

02

Build.

We design and build the full site around your business, then share the real thing. Almost everyone refines something, and that's the point.

03

Launch.

Live in five to seven days. Half up front, half on launch. The code and the hosting are yours.

From our clients

“I had a half-finished Squarespace page I'd been sitting on for a year. They sent me a real site out of nowhere. I said yes.”

Domino

Musician, Portland, OR

“The site they built matched what was in my head better than what I would've described. We barely changed anything.”

RU

World-Class Martial Artist

“Three other studios wanted a discovery call and a deposit just to start talking. Pilcrow just built it.”

House of Pipes

Why Pilcrow

We're a boutique studio. Every site is built by hand, around the specific business. Not a template. Not a system.

Most shops are running a site they built fast, meant to redo, and never got around to. The cost isn't the redesign. It's the customers who landed on it and left. We close that gap in five days, for less than what a bad site costs you in a slow month.

We're a small studio. We make websites the way editors make paragraphs. One decision at a time, with the reader in mind. The judgment is ours. The code is yours.

FAQ

Common questions.

Send us a message. We'll look at your business and current online presence, then reach out with what we'd recommend. Direct conversation, nothing more.

Three tiers, priced by scope. Standard runs $1,500 to $3,000 for a clean, custom site. Expanded is $3,000 to $5,000 for more pages and custom features. Buyout is $5,000 to $10,000 for a full custom build owned outright. A full SEO package is $1,500 to $2,500 on any tier. Every build is half up front, half on launch. Ongoing retainer starts at $3,500, then $750 per month.

We build a full working version of your site and share the link. That gives both of us something real to react to, not a mockup or a wireframe. Almost everyone refines something at this stage, and that's the point.

$20 per month if you want us to manage it. Free if you take the code and run it yourself. Either way, the code is yours.

Five to seven days from yes to live. From first conversation to a finished site in under two weeks.

One round of revisions is included in every build. Additional rounds are $150 each. For ongoing monthly changes, the retainer plan covers unlimited small edits for $750 per month, with a two-month minimum.
