Your in-house dev team, without the hire.
Director of Digital Experience, VP Comms, Integrated Marketing Manager: you own a website your IT team doesn’t have time for and your agency charges too much to touch. We are the senior developer who answers the same day, ships inside your MarTech stack, and gets through your vendor onboarding.

Why websites stall inside companies.
The agency retainer
- Every small change goes through an account manager and a junior
- The annual budget is consumed by overhead, not work
- Mandatory compliance training for contractors eats hours you paid for
The IT queue
- Marketing requests sit behind infrastructure tickets
- Nobody owns WordPress, so nobody updates it
- Security reviews happen after launch, when it’s expensive
The MarTech tangle
- Marketo forms, 6sense, GTM, OneTrust, Greenhouse: each has an owner, none has a developer
- Gated content needs landing pages nobody has time to build
- Tracking breaks on every redesign
The AI question
- Leadership asks whether ChatGPT recommends the company
- The site has no structured data and blocks half the AI crawlers
- The blog hasn’t published in months

Before we start.
How is this different from hiring an agency?
You get the senior developer directly, without the account layer. Estimates are written against your budget so you can see exactly what a dollar buys, and small changes are handled inside a care plan instead of a change order.
Can you work with our existing agency?
Yes, and often do. Many of our projects are the development half of an agency’s design and content work. We fit into their process or yours.
Our IT team will want to review the code and hosting.
Good. The theme lives in your GitHub, the security audit is shared before launch, and we document the hosting, backup and access setup for their review. We’ve been through cybersecurity reviews at companies with dedicated security architects.
Do you do the content and design too?
We bring in a designer and writers from a small trusted bench when a project needs them, and we can revise provided content to fit the design. For net-new content, the Granite or a partner writer.
What does a typical first project look like?
A site rebuild, a migration to WP Engine, or taking over maintenance of an existing site. Each starts with a short discovery and a fixed quote.
Ready to move beyond theme limitations?
We’ll review your current setup and map out a build, migration or AI-visibility plan in a free 30-minute call.
