Foundation
Build.
Before we build anything, we need to understand everything. This takes 8–12 minutes. Answer honestly — the quality of what we create together depends on it.
What best describes your situation?
This shapes everything. Be direct — no wrong answer.
What's your timeline?
No wrong answer. We just need to know what we're working with.
What level of investment are you prepared to make?
Foundation Build is a serious engagement. These ranges reflect real scope and real outcomes.
This might not be the right fit — yet.
Foundation Build starts at $15K. If that's not where you are right now, that's okay — there may be a better starting point. Reach out directly and we'll point you in the right direction.
Let's Talk Anyway →Who makes the final call?
We need the right person in the room from day one. Decision structure affects everything.
Now let's talk about your business.
No jargon. No elevator pitch. Just tell us what's real.
What does your business actually do?
Plain language. No elevator pitch needed. Pretend you're explaining it to a friend.
What services or offerings generate the most revenue?
Today, or projected — what actually moves the needle?
Who are your best customers?
Think about the ones you'd clone if you could. What makes them ideal?
What problems do you solve for them?
Get specific. Surface the pain, not the feature.
What makes you different from competitors?
Not "we care more." What's actually, structurally different about how you operate or deliver?
Who are your main competitors?
Names, links, or both. We'll do our own research too.
Where does your brand stand today?
Be honest. This determines what we build — and what we skip.
Let's define who you are.
These questions unlock your brand's real character. Don't overthink them — instinct is data.
If your business were an animal, what would it be — and why?
Trust your gut. There's a reason the answer comes fast.
If your business were a person, paint the picture.
Where do they go on a Friday night? What are they wearing? What car did they drive there? What's playing?
What brands feel closest to how you want to be perceived?
Inside or outside your industry. The emotion matters more than the category.
What brands do you never want to resemble?
Knowing what you're not is just as powerful as knowing what you are.
How do you want people to feel when they interact with your brand?
Not what you want them to think. What you want them to feel.
What tone fits your brand best?
Pick the one that feels most true. You can always refine in the discovery session.
What would be a "bad fit" customer for you?
The ones you'd politely turn away. This shapes positioning more than you'd think.
Let's validate what you have.
A confident brand still deserves honest scrutiny before we build on it.
What parts of your current brand are working well?
What do you want us to protect and build on?
What feels off or misaligned?
Even strong brands have gaps. What would you change if you could?
Are there any hard constraints we must work within?
Logo, colors, trademark — what's locked and non-negotiable?
Now, let's talk about your customer.
The clearer we understand them, the better the system we build.
Describe your ideal customer in detail.
Not demographics — who are they really? What drives them?
If your ideal customer were a real person right now...
What do they do for work? What keeps them up at night? What are they trying to accomplish this year?
What would convince your ideal customer to choose you?
The tipping point. The thing that gets them across the line.
What objections do customers typically raise?
The ones that slow down or kill deals. We'll build around them.
Let's get into the website.
What you have, what you need, and what it needs to do.
Do you currently have a website?
A link helps us audit before we ever speak.
What is NOT working about your current site?
If you don't have one yet — what do you need to avoid at all costs?
What does your website need to do?
Select all that apply, then hit Next.
What pages or content do you already know you need?
Don't overthink this — first instinct is useful data.
Will you be providing content, or do you need our support?
Content = copy, images, messaging. No judgment — this just determines scope.
Systems and complexity.
These four questions determine the real scope of the build. Be honest — they inform pricing and timeline.
Do you need any integrations?
Connections to CRMs, scheduling tools, or other platforms.
Will we need to migrate an existing website?
Content migration, redirects, preserving SEO equity — this adds real scope.
How organized are your current assets and content?
Logos, images, copy, brand files — how ready are they to hand over?
How important is custom design vs. efficiency?
An honest answer keeps scope aligned to expectations on both sides.
Finally — outcomes and intent.
This is where we understand what winning looks like for you.
What would make this project a success in 6–12 months?
Be specific. Vague success is impossible to build toward.
What would failure look like?
What outcomes would make this investment not worth it?
What happens if nothing changes?
The cost of inaction. Say it plainly.
Why are you doing this now?
What triggered this? What changed? Urgency tells us a lot.
What made you reach out to us specifically?
Referral, research, something you saw — we want to know what brought you here.
Anything else we should know?
Context we haven't asked for. Nuance. Gut feelings. All of it is useful.
Where do we send your brief summary?
We'll review everything you've shared and be in touch within 48 hours.
Your brief is in.
We'll review everything you've shared and reach out within 48 hours. Serious founders deserve a serious process — and this is how it starts.
