What we do

Everything your site
needs to earn its keep.

We're not a template shop. Every build starts from a blank page and one question: what makes your phone ring? Then we design backwards from that.

Custom Web Development

Hand-coded, obsessively fast sites — no page builders, no bloat. Sub-second loads, flawless on every phone, and structured to convert visitors into customers.

SEO & Local Search

Schema markup, local-pack optimization, and content structured the way Google reads it — so "near me" searches end at your front door, not a competitor's.

3D & Motion Design

Real-time WebGL scenes, cinematic shaders, and considered motion that make people stop mid-scroll — used with restraint, in service of the sale.

CASE — 01

Summit Handyman

Local services · Lead generation

A living-blueprint identity for a Boulder handyman crew — self-drawing house schematics, an interactive before/after deck restoration, and LocalBusiness schema that puts them on the map. Built to turn "fix my deck" searches into booked estimates.

Maison Lumière

E-commerce experience · Luxury retail

A high-conversion animated storefront for a perfume house. A real-time silk shader pours liquid gold behind the fold, product cards tilt in 3D, and a working cart keeps the path to checkout one gesture long.

Flour & Flame

Bakery · Brand & local SEO

A wood-fired Pasadena bakery with a hand-illustrated identity — SVG pastries, drifting steam, a 4 a.m. bake-schedule timeline, and Bakery schema so weekend croissant hunters find the door before the case sells out.

Fade District

Mobile booking · Service business

A responsive, app-grade booking system for a Long Beach barbershop. Four taps from "I need a fade" to a confirmed chair — service, barber, slot, done — with zero page reloads. Built mobile-first, because that's where haircuts get booked.

How we work

A process with
no surprises in it.

You'll know the price before we start, see progress every few days, and launch on a date we put in writing. Here's exactly how it goes.

Discovery call

Thirty minutes on what you do, who your customers are, and what you want more of — calls, bookings, orders, or foot traffic.

Day 1 · Free

Fixed written quote

A line-item proposal with one number and a launch date. The price we quote is the price you pay — no hourly meters.

Within 48 hours

Design & build

We share a live preview link from day one, so you watch the site take shape and steer early — not at the end.

1–3 weeks

Launch & handover

We launch, submit your site to Google, and hand you the keys — domain, code, and accounts all in your name.

Launch day

Every project includes:

  • Fixed pricing — agreed before work begins, honored to the dollar
  • Full ownership — your domain, your code, your accounts. No hostage-taking
  • Local SEO setup — schema, Google Business Profile, and search submission
  • Two revision rounds — built into every quote, no change-order games
  • 30 days of post-launch fixes — anything broken, we repair free
  • A real human — you talk to the person building your site, always
Questions, answered

The things you're
actually wondering.

How much does a website cost?+
Nool Works projects start at $500 and go up to $2,000, depending on scope — a lean one-page lead-generation site sits at the lower end; multi-page builds with booking systems or e-commerce sit higher. You get one fixed number in writing before we start, and that's the number you pay. No hourly billing, ever.
How long until my site is live?+
Most sites launch 2–3 weeks after kickoff. Simple sites can ship in under two weeks; larger builds with ordering or booking systems can take four. Your quote includes a launch date, and we hit it.
Do I own the website?+
Yes — completely. The domain is registered in your name, the code is handed over at launch, and every account (hosting, analytics, search console) belongs to you. If we part ways tomorrow, you keep everything and any developer can pick it up.
Will people actually find my site on Google?+
That's the entire point of how we build. Every site ships with structured data (schema.org), local-search optimization, sub-second load times, and Google Search Console submission. SEO is never a guarantee of a #1 ranking — anyone promising that is lying — but we build to the exact standards Google rewards, and we target the top of local results for your service and area.
What about updates and maintenance after launch?+
The first 30 days of fixes are free. After that, you can update content yourself, call us for one-off changes at a flat rate, or take a light monthly care plan. There's no lock-in — the site runs happily untouched if your info doesn't change.
I'm not technical. How much of my time will this take?+
About two hours total: a 30-minute discovery call, quick feedback on the preview link a couple of times, and a short handover walkthrough. You run your business; we handle everything technical, including the hosting and domain setup.

"Most small-business websites are digital dust. We build the other kind — the kind that shows up first, loads instantly, and makes the next step obvious. Design is the hook; search is the engine; the sale is the point."

— Dennis · Founder, Nool Works
