How fast can you actually ship?+
Advisory: first session inside the week, website in five working days. Partnership: build in two to three weeks alongside the strategic work. Retainer: scoped together — discovery sets a real timeline.
Do you take on existing sites?+
Yes — care plans cover sites we didn't build, after a one-off audit. We'll tell you honestly if a rebuild is cheaper than ongoing rescue.
What about hosting?+
Care plans include managed hosting on infrastructure we own. You get the domain, the code, and the content — leaving is straightforward.
Why .fi if you work in English?+
We're based in Finland and most clients are here. The work is in English first; FI and SV are first-class, not afterthoughts.
Can I see real prices?+
Yes — see Pricing. The 'from' figures aren't bait. Most projects in a tier ship at or near that figure.
