Why we work this wayEvery agency promises good work. We'd rather show you ours than describe it — so the first thing you get is the thing itself.
Why SHINES

Built for businesses that run on reputation.

You get judged on your website before anyone picks up the phone. It should be doing more than existing.

01

Live in days, not months

Most sites launch inside two weeks of your yes. No drawn-out timelines, no scope creep, no waiting on a design committee to approve a shade of blue.

One price, quoted upfront

$750 or $999, decided before we start. You will never get an invoice with a line item you didn't agree to, and you'll never be billed for a revision round we said was included.

You own everything

Case study

A 1913 venue that invoiced $20,666 in 90 days — and collected every dollar.

The South Pasadena Clubhouse is an event venue and the rental arm of the Woman's Club — 5,000 square feet of 1913 Craftsman with a working stage and a commercial kitchen, hosting weddings, galas, recitals and fundraisers. Inquiries came in by email and phone, got answered from whoever's inbox they landed in, and lived in a spreadsheet that was never quite current. Invoicing was its own separate scramble.

We rebuilt the site so every inquiry is captured properly, then connected it to SHINES OS. Now an inquiry becomes a tracked deal, a booked date becomes an invoice, and the invoice gets paid — without anything being retyped or forgotten in between. In their first ninety days on it they invoiced $20,666 and collected all of it.

After launch

A website that works gives you a new problem.

Inquiries start arriving. Then they're in your personal email, the quote is in your head, and you're not sure who you forgot to call back. So every site we launch comes wired into SHINES OS — the platform we build and run ourselves, and the one a South Pasadena venue invoiced $20,666 through in its first ninety days — with the CRM included free for your first three months.

Included — CRMEvery inquiry from your new site lands in one place, with contacts, deals and follow-ups tracked. Free for three months, then $19/mo.
Add when you need itMoney for estimates, invoices and Stripe payment links — the module that collected the Clubhouse's $20,666. Work for jobs and projects. Marketing for email to the list your site is building.
Later — PhoneCalls and texts join the same thread, with the recording and summary attached. Added once your number clears carrier registration.
Pricing

One price, agreed before we start.

Every package includes your free draft. You see the work before any money changes hands.

Questions

Before you ask.

What does the draft cost?

Nothing. We design a real homepage for your business and send it to you. If it's right, you pay for the package and we finish the site. If it isn't, you owe nothing and we part on good terms. We work this way because our work sells better than our pitch does — and because you shouldn't have to take our word for it.

What do you need from me to start?

Your name, email, company, and your current site if you have one. That's it. If you have a logo or brand guide it helps — but we've built plenty of sites for businesses that had neither.

How long does the full build take?

Growth packages typically launch in about 10 days from your approval; Launch packages in about two weeks. Custom builds depend on what's being integrated, and we'll give you a date before you commit.

Do I have to buy a care plan?

No. The build price is complete on its own and the site is yours. Most clients add care because they'd rather not think about hosting, backups, or updating their own content — but you can host it anywhere you like.

Who owns the site when it's done?

You do. The domain, the content, the code, the analytics. If you leave us, you take all of it. We don't hold anything hostage.

What is SHINES OS, and do I have to use it?

Same company, two halves. Web Studio builds the site that brings people in; SHINES OS is the software that handles them once they arrive. Every site we launch has its forms wired into the CRM so nothing lands in a personal inbox, and that's included free for three months — $19/month after, or turn it off. You're never required to keep it, and the site works either way.

Can you also handle calls and texts?

Eventually, yes — calls and texts land in the same thread as everything else, with the recording and a summary attached. It takes a few weeks longer than the site does, because your business number has to clear carrier registration first. We start that process once you're up and running and turn it on when it clears.
