FAQ
Will this site integrate with our current project management tool?
Yes. We specialize in connecting websites to Monday.com, Asana, Teamwork, and Basecamp. Our goal is to ensure that a client interaction on the site automatically updates or creates a task in your existing workflow.
How do you handle international clients and GDPR?
We implement advanced geo-fencing for compliance. If a user visits from the EU, we trigger specific data processing agreements and cookie consents that meet GDPR standards, while maintaining FTC compliance for US-based traffic.
Can we update the content ourselves after launch?
Absolutely. We build on user-friendly CMS platforms like WordPress or Webflow and provide a custom Loom video library showing your team exactly how to update case studies, blog posts, and team members.
What kind of AI features are included?
Standard builds include a custom-trained LLM chatbot for lead qualification, dynamic content blocks that adjust based on UTM parameters (industry-specific messaging), and automated lead scoring based on site behavior.
Does the $3,000 - $8,000 setup include SEO?
It includes technical SEO (site speed, schema markup, and metadata architecture). We ensure your agency is indexed correctly and ready for high-intent searches, though ongoing content SEO is a separate service.
