Service · Hand-coded HTML / static sites
Hand-written HTML and CSS for marketing sites that rarely change: fast by default, with no admin screen or database, and a fixed price per project. Your client gets the files. Your agency gets the credit.
The timeline
Scope and page list agreed in writing, then every page designed as a mockup for your client to approve with you before any code is written.
Semantic HTML and CSS, laid out at phone width first, with JavaScript only where the design actually needs it.
Markup, speed, forms and links checked on a staging URL. Once you approve, the files move to the client's host and the handover notes go out under your agency's name.
About 21 days is typical for a website build. The exact dates go into your fixed-price proposal before anything starts.
Sound familiar
Plenty of client sites are a handful of pages that rarely change. Running them on a CMS creates work nobody is paid for.
Core, theme and plugin updates every month, on a brochure site whose content has not changed since launch.
An admin screen and a database are one more thing to patch and back up, and your problem if the site is ever compromised.
A theme, a page builder and a stack of plugins load on every visit, just to show a few pages of text and images.
The arrangement
No credit in the footer, our name nowhere in the code, and our team writes from your email aliases whenever a client could see it.
Nothing we build carries our name.
Meta author and code comments.
On every email a client could see.
Signed before the first login.
What is in the build
Take a full static build, or one piece such as turning an existing CMS site into plain files. Whichever you take, you get the scope in writing before you price it.
Each page mocked up at desktop and phone width, or taken from your designers' files, and approved before a line of HTML is written.
Readable markup with no framework or page builder underneath, so any developer on your team can open a file and follow it.
Layouts written for small screens first and scaled up, then checked on real phones and tablets before your client sees staging.
No database queries and no plugin scripts, so pages are light from the start. Images are compressed and scripts deferred before launch.
Titles, meta descriptions, schema and an XML sitemap written into the files, so search work can begin on launch day.
Files deployed to the client's host, contact forms tested on the live domain, and the source handed over under your agency's name.
The deliverable list
A static build is a set of files, so the deliverable list is short and easy to check. Copy it into your proposal unchanged.
Every build is quoted at a fixed price within 24 hours of the brief, and the final payment is due only after you approve the staging site.
How it runs
Six steps, and you are only needed for three of them. Everything between is ours to run.
The pages you sold, the client's current URL if there is one, and the deadline. We flag anything that really needs a CMS.
A fixed-price proposal within 24 hours, with an honest note if the client would be better served by WordPress.
Present the proposal under your agency's name, at your own price. We stay behind you and never meet the client.
NDA and non-solicit signed by both sides, brand files and host access received, dates fixed in writing.
Mockups first, then HTML and CSS written by hand on a staging URL, with a team that answers 8 AM to 4 PM EST.
When the staging URL is approved and the final invoice paid, the files go live on the client's host.
The portfolio
Our agency builds ship under partners' brands, NDA-protected. What you can see: sites we own, and direct clients who agreed to be shown.
Dallas, TX, USA
Lawn care site with a full-width video hero, service showcase, careers, and location pages. Built mobile-first for homeowners searching on their phones.
Los Angeles, CA, USA
Video intro, service pages, and social integration. Card-on-image hero and click-to-call, so visitors can phone the business in one tap.
Bellevue, WA, USA
Lawn care site with service pages, video intro, location page, and inquiry flow. Fresh green palette on a conversion-first layout.
The alternatives
All three work. They just cost different things, and only one of them fixes the price before work starts.
What we need from you
Hand these over once. From then on, you only review the staging URL with your client.
Which pages you sold and when they are due. Unsure whether static fits? Send the brief anyway and we will tell you.
The client's logo, typefaces and brand colors, or the design files your own designers made. Either is enough to start.
Static pages are built around final text, so send it before the build. No copy yet? We can draft it, quoted separately.
Login details for the client's host, or tell us where the site should go. Any host that serves plain files will do.
Partner feedback
★★★★★
"We added SEO to the rate card in a month without hiring anyone. Three years in, not one client has asked who does the work, because there is nothing to find."
★★★★★
"The strategist joins our client calls under our domain and knows the account better than we do. That is the part other providers cannot fake."
★★★★★
"We tested four providers. ServeVision was the only one that sent the outreach list before pitching, so we could veto our clients' competitors."
Honest qualifier
We would rather say no early than take a project that was never going to work.
When the site is mostly fixed marketing pages that change a few times a year: a brochure site, a campaign microsite, a portfolio. If the client needs to edit content often, sell online or manage members, a CMS is the better choice, and we will say so in the proposal.
Your team edits the HTML file directly, or sends the change to us as a small scoped job. If the client expects to edit pages themselves every week, WordPress is the better fit and we will recommend it before anything is built.
Forms post to a small handler on the client's host, or to a form service the client chooses, and submissions go to the inbox they name. Every form is tested end to end on staging and again after go-live.
On any host that serves plain files, including the client's existing hosting. The files belong to the client, so moving host later is a copy, not a migration.
The structure is in place on day one: clean URLs, one H1 per page, meta tags, schema and an XML sitemap. Light pages also help with Core Web Vitals. Rankings still depend on content and ongoing SEO work, which we can run under your brand.
Where we build
Agencies can send us builds for clients in any state. Our in-house team of five works 8 AM to 4 PM EST, overlapping US business hours, and every site launches under your name. Pick a state to see its metros.
White-label web design & SEO

Everything between the kickoff call and the login handover, built under your agency's name. You own the client; we never appear.
Ongoing search work on a site your client already has, or one we built. Reported in your branding, on your schedule.
