// Two ways to ship a site

The old way is expensive theater. The new way is real.

We've shipped both. The first taught us why so many B2B sites end up slow, plugin-heavy, and full of monthly fees that compound forever. The second is what this entire site you're reading right now was built with.

// The old way

$20k+ and 4 months of waiting.

  • $20K+ to a developer Or $30k to an agency.
  • 4 months of "almost done" Emails on Sunday. Replies on Wednesday.
  • $30-99/mo hosting Forever. WP-Engine, Kinsta, take your pick.
  • $30-60/yr × 5-10 plugins Forms, SEO, caching, backups, security…
  • Monthly WordPress anxiety Plugin conflicts, PHP upgrades, security patches.
  • Pay-to-change-anything Want a new section? Open a ticket. Wait.
// The new way

Sites live in weeks. No hosting fees.

  • Design concepts in days The fastest way to build websites — AI-enabled and built to convert.
  • Design system in days Fonts, colors, spacing, components — locked early.
  • New pages in minutes Once the system's set, the agent ships pages fast.
  • $0/mo Cloudflare hosting 70-100K visits before you pay a cent.
  • Forms, SEO, blog, CDN baked in No plugin sprawl, no surprise bills.
  • You own the repo Move off us anytime. Git history is yours.
// How we build it

Five steps. Most pages ship in minutes.

01

Brief and goals

You tell us what the site needs to do, who it needs to convert, and what your existing brand assets look like. We don't need wireframes; we need outcomes.

02

AI-native concepts

We prompt Claude Code for distinct homepage concepts grounded in your brief — typography, layout, hierarchy, voice. You pick the one that lands.

03

Design system locks in

From the chosen concept, we codify the system: tokens, components, spacing, fonts. After this point, every page builds on the same foundation.

04

Build at velocity

Most pages now ship in minutes, not days, because Claude already knows the system. Schema, AEO, blog, forms, GA4, and Search Console get wired in pre-launch.

05

Launch and handoff

Deploy to Cloudflare with a custom domain. Training session covering content updates, the Markdown blog workflow, and the credit-hour packs for everything else.

// What every site includes

The whole modern web stack. Bundled in.

01

Astro + Cloudflare build

Static-first architecture. No WordPress, no plugin sprawl, no PHP. Your site is HTML, CSS, and the JS it actually needs.

02

Schema + AEO ready

Organization, WebSite, BreadcrumbList, FAQPage, Article schemas wired pre-launch. /robots.txt and /llms.txt configured for AI search.

03

Markdown blog, ready to ship

Content collections, MDX support, auto-generated RSS, sitemap, and structured data. You write Markdown; the blog builds itself.

04

GA4 + Search Console

Both wired in pre-launch. Conversion events configured for the actions that actually matter to your pipeline.

05

Forms that work

HubSpot embed, n8n webhook, or Cloudflare-native — your call. No third-party form-builder subscription, no monthly fee.

06

Enterprise CDN

Cloudflare's global edge network. Sub-200ms TTFB worldwide. Free SSL. DDoS protection baseline.

07

5,000 free image optimizations

Cloudflare Images included. Responsive srcsets, format conversion, lazy loading — handled.

08

$0/mo up to 70-100K visits

You pay nothing until you outgrow Cloudflare's free tier. And when you do, the upgrade is pennies, not hundreds.

// Are we a fit

We're not right for everyone. Find out.

Most agencies pretend they fit every project. We won't. This is the shortest path to knowing whether to fill out the discovery form or close this tab and save us both an email.

You're a good fit if
  • B2B founder or marketing-led small business You're the buyer, the user, and the one who owns the result. No procurement gauntlet.
  • Service business, professional firm, or non-profit You need a lead-gen marketing site. Clean, fast, search-visible. Not a SaaS app.
  • Multi-location operator Dental groups, med spas, healthcare clinics, franchise operators. Local SEO depth at scale.
  • Comfortable with content drops We write or edit, you approve. You don't need to edit pages daily in a CMS GUI.
  • 3-6 week timeline is fine Not "yesterday." We work fast, but we don't skip the design and strategy work that makes a site convert.
  • Trust process over micromanagement We give you AI-native concepts, share our reasoning, and adjust on feedback. We don't take dictation.
Not a fit if
  • Need an ecommerce store or payment processing We don't do Shopify, BigCommerce, or custom checkout. Astro + Cloudflare can technically support it; we don't scope it.
  • Building a web app or SaaS product Different problem space — needs full-time engineering, not productized design.
  • Want to self-manage daily edits in a CMS GUI We ship via Git/GitHub. You can submit content updates; we deploy. If you need WordPress autonomy, we're the wrong fit.
  • Need launch yesterday We work fast, but quality has a floor. Three-week minimum on even the smallest tier.
  • Budget under $6,000 No discount tier. If you're under that, our free /ai-visibility-report is the right starting point.
  • Looking for an order-taker We share what we recommend and why. If you want a vendor who just executes a 200-line brief without pushback, we're not it.
// Pricing

Four tiers. From $6,000.

Page templates, revisions, and static page count are what move you up the ladder. Custom functionality scopes at $175/hr — same rate on any tier. Drop a business email on the pricing page to see the full breakdown.

// From the field

What our clients say
about working with us.

I hit the jackpot when I hired Digital Elevator for their SEO services. They are truly Search Engine Optimization experts. My revenue doubled in two months, which easily covers the cost of the monthly service.

Eddie Lester
Eddie Lester CEO/Founder, Fitness Mentors

What was initially some service page sales copy led to evaluations into our overall sales cycle and how content and email opt-ins through white papers and our revenue calculator tool could be leveraged to generate more leads.

Chris Morrison
Chris Morrison Director of Marketing, McKesson BPS

Digital Elevator worked with my budget, put a plan in place, and their team of SEOs, web developers, and writers is second to none. My website traffic is growing consistently and the sales and leads generated are providing us the opportunity to expand.

// Frequently asked

Common questions about Web Design.

Why Astro? Why Cloudflare? Why no WordPress?

+

Astro is a static-first framework that ships almost no JavaScript by default — which is why Astro sites score in the high 90s on Core Web Vitals out of the box without a caching plugin. Cloudflare's global CDN serves those static files from the edge for free up to ~100K visits a month, with built-in DDoS protection and free SSL. WordPress, by contrast, runs PHP on every request, requires a hosting bill, and depends on plugins that conflict, break, or get abandoned. We can build on WordPress; we choose not to.

How is this faster, cheaper, or better than what I have?

+

Faster: Astro static pages load in under 1s globally on the Cloudflare CDN. Cheaper: $0/mo hosting beats $30-99/mo WordPress hosting, and there's no plugin tax. Better is the part to interrogate — we're glad to walk through your current site's Lighthouse scores and your current monthly stack cost during the discovery call.

What about hosting later — am I locked in to you?

+

No. You own the GitHub repo. Cloudflare is a free account in your name. You can move the deploy off Cloudflare to Vercel, Netlify, or any static host in minutes — Astro builds the same way everywhere. The only thing you can't easily port is a WordPress database, which is why we don't use one.

Can I edit pages myself after launch?

+

You can submit content updates and we deploy them — either via a credit-hour pack or, soon, our AI maintenance agent. You can also learn the Markdown blog workflow in the training session and self-publish blog posts. If you want a CMS GUI for daily edits to every page, we're the wrong fit; that's WordPress territory.

How long does a build take?

+

Starter sites typically ship in 3-4 weeks. Growth and Authority in 4-6 weeks. Scale in 6-8 weeks. Most of that calendar time is content decisions and feedback rounds — the build velocity is the part Claude Code accelerates dramatically.

What if I need a feature that's not in my tier?

+

Unique functionality (integrations, gated content, calculators, etc.) is scoped at $175/hr on any tier. You don't need to upgrade tiers to get a custom feature; we estimate the hours and add it to the project. After launch, credit-hour packs cover the same kind of work at the same rate.

How does the credit-hour pack work?

+

You buy a 5-, 10-, or 20-hour pack at $175/hr. We log hours against the pack as work happens. Unused balance expires six months from purchase. Easier than ad-hoc invoicing, and you lock in turnaround priority.

What's the AI maintenance agent?

+

A subscription product we're building that handles routine updates — content edits, broken-link checks, schema upkeep, image swaps — autonomously. It's not shipped yet. Credit-hour packs are what you buy today; the agent will be an upgrade path when it launches.

Do you migrate my existing blog?

+

Yes, if your current blog can export to a format we can ingest. WordPress export (.xml) and Webflow CMS export are both supported as-is. Other sources (Squarespace, Wix, custom) can be migrated case by case — we'll quote it during discovery.

What if my site goes over 100 pages?

+

Then you're into custom-scoped territory, not a productized tier. Most 100+ page sites are actually programmatic SEO setups (location pages, comparison pages, glossaries) where pages are generated from a data source. We can scope that as a custom build at $175/hr or as a Scale tier engagement with the programmatic templates layered on top.
