Maurice, Louisiana · Vermilion Parish
We built our own agency site from the ground up — the same way we build for our clients. Custom design, hand-written code, conversion-optimized layout, and full SEO. No templates. No page builders. No shortcuts.
Practice what we preach.
We needed a site that does what we tell our clients every site should do — show up on Google, build trust fast, and convert visitors into leads. But we also needed it to be proof of concept. If we can't build a site for ourselves that performs, why would anyone trust us to build theirs?
The challenge wasn't just design — it was building a complete conversion funnel that guides a small business owner from "I need a website" to "I'm reaching out to these people" in a single scroll.
Data-driven. Conversion-first.
We studied high-traffic agency sites — Clay Global, Stripe, Webflow, DEPT Agency — and mapped the patterns that drive conversions. Then we built a funnel designed for our specific audience: small business owners in South Louisiana who've never hired a web developer.
Section Order Matters
We tested and reordered sections based on conversion research. Proof first (portfolio), then process transparency, then data-driven urgency, then social proof, then the ask. Every section builds on the last.
The Golden Aura
The stats section uses a dual-layer radial golden glow with breathing animations — designed to be the visual centerpiece that stops the scroll and makes visitors read the data.
Sourced Statistics
We backed every claim with real data from 7 cited sources. The "With vs. Without" comparison follows the Basecamp pattern that boosted their conversions by 102.5%.
Performance Obsession
WebP compression took the hero image from 2.4 MB to 47 KB — a 98% reduction. The entire site core (HTML + CSS + JS) is 72 KB. No frameworks. No bloat.
Clean code. No dependencies.
Want the same treatment for your business?
We build for ourselves the same way we build for you — custom code, sharp design, and a site that actually works.
