“We'd been through two agencies who delivered something pretty and then vanished. Katalyst spent the first three weeks in our analytics before they drew a single screen. The rebuild paid for itself in the second quarter.”

2 project slots left this quarter. 30-minute call, no deck.
Book a callMost agency websites are brochures with a contact form bolted on. We build the other kind: fast, searchable, instrumented, and designed around the specific decision your visitor is trying to make.
If more than one of these describes your situation, the call is likely to be worth thirty minutes of your time.
Design was signed off in a slide deck, never against a conversion goal. Traffic arrives, reads two lines, and leaves — and nobody can say which section lost them.
Every second past the first costs you roughly a fifth of your mobile conversions, and Google has been folding load speed into rankings since 2021. Slow is not a technical problem. It's a revenue problem.
A copy change requires a developer, a ticket and a fortnight. So the site ages in place, and the team routes around it with PDFs and one-off landing pages.
The site ranks for your company name and nothing else. The searches that indicate real buying intent go to competitors who structured their content for them.
Static rendering, modern image formats, and a strict JavaScript budget. Our median Largest Contentful Paint across launches in the last 18 months is 0.9s on 4G.
Each page has a single job and a single primary action. Every other element either supports that action or gets cut before we open a code editor.
Your repository, your domain, your analytics, your CMS. No proprietary builder, no hostage situation, no renewal you can't refuse.
Your team edits copy, swaps imagery and publishes pages in a CMS built around how they actually work — not a generic admin panel handed over with a shrug.
Engagements usually combine several of these. We'll tell you which ones you don't need.
Multi-page sites with clear service architecture and a lead path on every route.
Purpose-built pages for individual campaigns, with variants ready for testing on day one.
Shopify and headless commerce builds tuned for checkout completion, not just catalogue browsing.
Sanity, Payload or WordPress, modelled around your content — not a theme you have to fight.
Moving off a legacy stack without losing rankings, redirects or historical data.
Core Web Vitals remediation on an existing site when a rebuild isn't the right call yet.
WCAG 2.2 AA conformance work, with an audit you can show a procurement team.
Monitoring, dependency updates, and a named engineer who already knows your codebase.
Before anything is designed we go through your analytics, your search data, your sales calls and your competitors. Most engagements change shape in this week — usually because the problem you described isn't the one costing you the most money.
We agree what success means numerically, then write the scope against it. You get a fixed price, a dated plan and an explicit list of what we are not doing — which is the part most proposals leave out.
Copy and layout together, never sequentially. Real words in real components, reviewed on real devices — not a desktop mockup that quietly breaks the moment someone opens it on a phone.
Shipped in slices on a staging URL you can open any day of the week. Performance and accessibility budgets are enforced in CI, so neither becomes a fire drill in the final fortnight.
Redirect mapping, analytics verification, schema validation and a rollback plan agreed before we go anywhere near DNS. We watch Search Console daily for the first month.
Launch is the start of the measurement, not the end of the project. We keep testing the pages that carry your most valuable traffic and report on what changed, what it did, and what's next.
Chosen so your next engineer already knows them.
“We'd been through two agencies who delivered something pretty and then vanished. Katalyst spent the first three weeks in our analytics before they drew a single screen. The rebuild paid for itself in the second quarter.”
“What I appreciated most was being told no. They cut about a third of our original scope on the first call and were right about every piece of it.”
Including price, which most agency sites make you book a call to find out.
Most marketing sites land between $18,000 and $60,000 depending on page count, CMS complexity and how much content work is involved. Landing pages start around $6,000. We give a fixed scope and a fixed price after the discovery call — never an hourly rate that drifts.
Six to ten weeks from kickoff to launch for a typical marketing site: two weeks of strategy and content architecture, three to four weeks of design, three to four weeks of build and QA. Landing pages ship in two to three.
Not if the migration is done properly. We map every existing URL, preserve or 301 each one, keep the content that earns your rankings, and monitor Search Console daily for the first month. Ranking loss during a redesign is an execution failure, not an inevitability.
Yes. Every build ships with a CMS modelled around your actual content types, plus a recorded walkthrough and written documentation. Most clients are publishing independently within a week of launch.
Often. If you have a brand system we'll work inside it and tell you honestly where it's fighting you online. If you don't, we can build the digital half of one as part of the project.
A 30-day warranty covers anything that behaves differently from spec. After that you can take a maintenance retainer, bring it in-house, or hand it to another team — the codebase is standard, documented and yours.
Send this and you'll hear from a person within one business day — usually with two or three questions and a rough range, before any call is booked.
