The template trap
Your website is your hardest-working salesperson.
Template and WordPress sites hit a ceiling fast — slow loads, generic layouts, and plugin bloat that quietly cost you customers. Custom-built sites convert 2–5× higher in the same industry.
Template / WordPress
- Slow loads from plugin & script bloat
- Generic layout every competitor also uses
- Conversion rates stuck around 1–2%
- Constant plugin updates & security patches
- You rent the platform — limited control
SearchPod custom build
- Sub-2s loads on a global edge network
- Bespoke design built around your buyer
- Layout & CTAs tuned for conversion from day one
- No plugin soup — fewer breakages, less risk
- You own 100% of the code and your data
What we build
From marketing sites to full apps.
One team for your website, web app, and mobile app — built on a single modern stack, so everything works together.
Marketing Websites
Conversion-first sites that load in under two seconds and turn visitors into booked calls — not just brochures.
E-Commerce Stores
Headless Shopify and custom storefronts engineered for speed, with checkout flows built to lift average order value.
Web Applications
SaaS products, booking systems, and member platforms — full applications built on the same stack the biggest sites run on.
Portals & Dashboards
Customer portals and internal dashboards that replace spreadsheets and manual work with software that fits your process.
Mobile Apps
Cross-platform iOS and Android apps from one React Native codebase — native feel, half the build cost of two apps.
Custom CRMs & Tools
Bespoke CRMs, automations, and integrations that connect the tools you already use and own your data end to end.

How we build
Four phases. One deploy.
01
Discover
We audit your current site, map your buyer journey, and define the architecture before any code is written.
02
Design
High-fidelity Figma designs at every breakpoint. Interactive prototypes you click through and approve.
03
Build
Custom Next.js or React Native with automated testing. Every screen engineered for speed and conversion.
04
Launch
Zero-downtime deploy to a global edge network, plus post-launch monitoring and optimization.
In-house engineers
Senior developers. No offshore handoffs.
Your build is handled by senior engineers and designers who ship production software every week — not a junior team learning on your project. One point of contact, clear milestones, and code you can take with you.

Straight answers before you build.
The questions business owners ask us most before starting a custom web or app project. Don’t see yours? Just ask on the call.
Website pricing is public: $3,000 for a 5-page site, $5,000 for 10 pages, $8,000 for 15, and $10,000 for 20, with custom quotes above that. Custom apps start at $8,000. And if you don't like your new site, you don't pay. Tell us what you want to build and we'll send the exact price in a free proposal within 48 hours, with no hourly surprises.
Most websites launch in 8–12 weeks. A web or mobile app MVP typically takes 12–16 weeks, with a full-featured product 16–24 weeks. We deliver in milestones so you see working software early.
Yes. We build cross-platform iOS and Android apps with React Native from a single codebase — a native feel at roughly half the cost of building two separate apps. We also build web apps, customer portals, and custom CRMs.
100%. You own all source code, design files, and intellectual property from day one, in your own GitHub organization. No proprietary frameworks, no vendor lock-in.
Yes. Every site ships with a headless CMS and a custom editing interface tailored to your content, plus training and documentation. You update text, images, and pages without touching code.
We migrate WordPress sites to modern stacks regularly — handling content migration, URL preservation, 301 redirects, and SEO equity transfer. Most clients see a 40–60% speed improvement after migration.
Every build includes technical SEO from day one: semantic HTML, schema markup, optimized Core Web Vitals, sitemaps, and fast server-side rendering — the foundation search engines and AI assistants reward.
