01

Performance Marketing

Meta-first: ABO structures, CAPI setup, pixel hygiene, custom conversions, and creative testing matrices built around contribution margin — not vanity clicks.

Shopify Development & CRO

Theme builds on Focal, Horizon, and Pitch. Figma-first workflow, staging, QA. CRO audits that find conversion leakage and fix it — checkout, UTMs, integrations included.

Business Systems & Retail Ops

SOPs, inventory systems, SKU architecture, retail buildouts, and operations that scale beyond the founder — built from years of running them ourselves.

One system. Three gears.

Acquisition fills the funnel. Conversion turns clicks into orders. Retention feeds profit back into acquisition. We run all three — together.

We build websites for
local businesses.
Live in 3 days.

No website? No problem. We find your business, build a working demo using your public info, and send it to you — free, before you pay a cent. If you like it, we collect your details, build the real thing, and ship it in 3 days, live on your domain. US, Australia, and beyond.

We find you and build a preview

We identify local businesses with no website — or a broken one — and build a working demo using your Google listing, reviews, and public info. You see it before we ask for anything.

→ You receive the demo link
02

30-minute discovery call

If the demo interests you, we get on a call. No payment yet. We collect your real info — services, photos, contact, pricing, anything you want on the site. You approve before we build.

Custom site shipped in 3 days

We build your fully custom site — live on your domain, mobile-optimised, Google-ready. $499 flat, no hidden fees. Optional $88/year maintenance covers hosting support, speed, and 2 content updates per month.

Any local service business
with no proper web presence.

Built by the team that runs
growth for real consumer brands.

01
Senior operators, not outsourced juniors

Every site is built by the same two people who run performance marketing and Shopify builds for consumer brands. No handoffs to interns.

02
Delivered digitally to your domain

We're India-based, but your site goes live on your domain — US, Australia, anywhere. Digital delivery means no delays and no timezone friction.

03
No payment until after the call

You see the demo for free. We get on a call for free. You only pay once you've approved the scope and are happy with what you're getting.

04
3 days. Flat price. No surprises.

$499 is the price. It doesn't change. No discovery fees, no "scope creep" charges. What we agree on the call is what you pay for.

Common questions.
Are you based in India? Will that be a problem? +
Yes, we're based in Bangalore, India. But the work is delivered entirely digitally — your site goes live on your domain, mobile-optimised, and ready to receive traffic wherever you are. We've built for businesses in the US and Australia. Timezone is not an issue — we handle async communication cleanly and are available for scheduled calls at times that suit you.
What if I don't like the demo you built? +
No payment, no obligation. The demo is built at our cost and sent to you. If you're not interested, that's completely fine — no hard sell, no follow-up spam. If you do like it, we get on a call and you tell us exactly what you want. You approve the plan before we build and before you pay anything.
What does the $499 include exactly? +
A fully custom website built around your business — your services, your story, your photos, your reviews. Mobile-responsive, fast-loading, Google-indexed, connected to your domain with a working map, directions, and contact details. You own the site completely.
What does $88/year actually cover? +
The annual maintenance contract covers: hosting support and uptime monitoring, page speed maintenance, 2 content updates per month (new hours, new services, price changes, seasonal offers), and basic SEO health checks. It's optional — you can take your site and host it anywhere. But most clients keep it because it removes the hassle of managing a website entirely. At $7.33/month, it's cheaper than a domain and hosting alone.
How do I see the demo you built for my business? +
We'll email you directly with the demo link when we've built a preview for your business. If you found us first and want to request a demo for your business — book a call below or email thrudaruf@gmail.com and we'll build one.
Interested? Let's talk for 30 minutes.
No commitment. We'll show you what we've built and answer any questions.
