Built by Developers Who Hate Slow Websites
We've sat through enough 5-second load times. So we started building faster.
How We Started
In 2023, we rebuilt a client's WordPress site. PageSpeed score: 28. After removing 14 plugins, switching hosts, and optimizing everything we could—it hit 54. Still not great.
So we scraped it and built from scratch. Static HTML. Tailwind CSS. Cloudflare edge. Final score: 97.
That's when we realized: the problem isn't websites. It's how they're built. Templates and plugins solve the wrong problem. Speed requires starting clean.
Now we only build one way: fast from the ground up.
What We Believe
The web has gotten slow. Bloated frameworks, unnecessary plugins, and lazy development have made the average website painfully slow.
We think that's unacceptable.
Every business deserves a fast website—not just the ones with enterprise budgets. We're here to make high-performance web development accessible to everyone.
How We Work
Our values aren't abstract ideals—they're how we behave every day.
Speed is Non-Negotiable
- We measure everything (PageSpeed, Core Web Vitals, load times)
- If it's not fast, it doesn't ship
Simplicity Over Complexity
- Clean code beats clever code
- Every line earns its place
Radical Transparency
- You see the price before you commit
- You own your code (no lock-in)
