Startup Website Design

A pre-seed startup pitched a VC fund and got a follow-up email asking for more information. The partner Googled the company name, landed on a Carrd one-pager with a logo, a paragraph of text, and a Calendly link. The follow-up email went cold. No second meeting. The founder asked us to build their site three months later, after missing two more potential investor conversations for the same reason. We delivered in 18 days: homepage with clear value proposition and product positioning, About page with team bios and relevant experience, product page with interactive demo embed via Arcade, and a contact flow that routed to the founder's calendar. The site cost $8,500. The next investor meeting turned into a $750K check. That is not because the website convinced the investor to write the check. It is because the website did not give them a reason to say no. This is the fundamental role of a startup website: de-risk the decision. Investors, early customers, potential hires, and partners all Google you. They are looking for signals that you are a real company with a real team building something real. A Notion page, a Carrd one-pager, or a half-finished Webflow site sends the wrong signal -- not because those tools are bad, but because they communicate that you have not prioritized your digital presence, which raises questions about what else you have not prioritized. We build startup websites that solve this problem on startup timelines and budgets. Not a $50K enterprise build. Not a three-month timeline. A focused, premium website built in 2-4 weeks on Next.js that covers the pages you need right now (home, about, product, contact) with architecture that lets you add blog posts, case studies, integration pages, and pricing as you grow. Every site ships on Vercel with sub-second load times, proper SEO architecture for when organic traffic starts to matter, and a CMS (typically Sanity) so your team can update content without a developer. We have launched sites for pre-seed companies refining their pitch, Series A companies preparing for scale, and bootstrapped founders who need to look like they have a team of 50 when they are actually a team of 3. The common need is the same: credibility that matches the ambition.
