Built here. Live now

Two products we designed, built and run ourselves – the same method we sell, on our own money. Both are live: click through and check any of it.

The getflapp.com home screen: the headline 'Your technique, measured', a phone showing a runner with joint angles overlaid, and a technique score of 91 out of 100 getflapp.com · live
Flapp · AI form analysis
“Your technique, measured.”

What the blueprint decided: show the report before asking for anything. A real analysis sits on the first screen, the free tier is the headline offer, and there is one path through the page – to that free analysis.

What the blueprint decided: let the product prove itself. The app's own screens carry the argument instead of adjectives, the free beta is the only ask, and the whole build ships in two languages.

Client sites will be added here under the same rule as the other two practices: anonymized where the owner asks, and never before launch.

What a rebuild actually changes

Not a facelift. The site stops describing your business and starts booking clients for it. The two products above are real; this pair is an illustrative composite of the local-business sites we rebuild:

  • ✕ The headline says nothing a competitor couldn't say word for word
  • ✕ One weak call to action – “Learn more” leads to more reading, not to a booking
  • ✕ The phone number lives in the footer; nothing can be booked online at all
  • ✕ Services listed by internal menu – not by the situation the client is actually in

  • ✓ A headline that sells the outcome and the differentiator in one line
  • ✓ The primary action – book online – at every point where a decision happens
  • ✓ Proof above the fold, in the customers' own words
  • ✓ Content by client scenario – each with its own path, CTA and conversion tracking

Every change targets one measurable behaviour – a call, a booking, a direction request – and the day-90 check reads whether it moved.

Fixed-scope pieces. No hourly meters

Your website is your hardest-working employee – or your most expensive one doing nothing

The difference is whether strategy decided what it says, and whether anything measures what it produces.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can't I just use Wix or a freelancer for less?

Yes – and for some businesses that's the right call; the Checkup will tell you if it is. What you're buying here isn't pages, it's the decision layer applied to your site: structure, message and offers taken from strategy, conversion actions wired and measured. A cheap site that says the wrong thing to the wrong people is the most expensive kind.

Do I need a Growth Audit before Studio?

No. Every build or rebuild includes a focused strategy intake. But if you have an audit, the site is built straight from its positioning and roadmap – that's the point of one firm. Want both? The Presence Bundle – Growth Audit + Site Build / Rebuild – is CA$5,880 instead of CA$6,880.

I already have a site – can you improve it instead of rebuilding?

Yes. That's a Feature Pack: one fixed-scope improvement – a booking form, a payment link, a map, a new offer page, a Google Business Profile set up properly – quoted flat from CA$390. The Checkup will tell you honestly whether your site needs a fix or a rebuild.

What platform do you build on?

Fast, lightweight sites on modern hosting – the same stack this site runs on – or your existing platform when staying put makes sense. Either way the domain, hosting and every account are registered in your name from day one. No lock-in: leave anytime and the site goes with you.

Who writes the copy and takes the photos?

Copy comes from your positioning – we draft it, you correct facts, not blank pages. Photos: we work with what you have, license stock only where it's honest, and brief a local photographer when the business genuinely needs one (billed at cost, agreed in advance).

What does Site Care cover – and what doesn't it?

Covered: hosting, updates, backups, up to two hours of content changes a month, SEO and Google-profile monitoring, and a monthly traffic-and-conversion report. Not covered: running ad campaigns and content marketing – that's the Growth Advisory retainer on the marketing side – and structural rebuilds, which are quoted flat before any work starts.

Order your site or Checkup

You get a written reply within one business day confirming scope, price and start date. Nothing is invoiced until you have agreed to all three.

Then a short questionnaire about the business, the address of the site you have, and access to the accounts that exist. The blueprint comes back before anything is designed.
