EQUALLY IMPORTANT
We are probably not the right fit if...
You need results in 30 days. Web Design doesn't work that way, and anyone who says it does is lying to you.
You want to own the strategy internally and outsource only execution. We work as strategic partners, not vendors.
Your budget is under $2,000/month. We can't do our best work at that level.
The brands we work best with are past the “let’s try Web Design” phase. They know it works. They want it done properly.
San Diego retail & consumer goods is a different game.
We’ve run Web Design here. We know what it takes.
San Diego retail sites miss outdoor lifestyle and biotech worker spending daily
San Diego's 82,000-SMB retail market is shaped by three high-value consumer segments: biotech and life sciences professionals (averaging $120K+ household income), active military and veteran families across 14 installations, and the outdoor lifestyle community that drives the surf, fitness, and outdoor gear market. These segments are mobile-savvy and brand-loyal when trust is established online. San Diego specialty retailers who invest in performance web design access a disproportionately high-value customer base.

You shouldn’t have to wonder what your agency is doing with your money.
Every Friday, you get a Loom from your strategist. Not a report — a walkthrough. What changed, what we’re doing about it, what to expect next week. Several clients have told us it’s the first time Web Design has ever made sense to them.

The honest difference
We’re not going to call other agencies bad. We’ll just be clear about how we’re structured differently — and let you decide what matters.

|---|---|---|
| Contracts | ✓ Month-to-month. Walk away any time. | 12-month minimum (standard) |

| Reporting cadence | ✓ Weekly Loom video + live dashboard | Monthly PDF report |
| Attribution model | ✓ Revenue-connected from Day 1 | Rankings + traffic only |
| Cost transparency | ✓ You see where every dollar goes | Black-box retainer |

“Every decision was tied to a metric. Every A/B test was documented. We now have a site that gets better every quarter because the data is actually being used.”

Director of Operations · Legal Services, $5M revenue
“Our old site was converting at 1.2%. The new one converts at 3.8% on the same traffic. The ROI paid for itself in the first month. I wish I'd done this two years ago.”

“They pushed back on every one of my bad ideas and were right every time. The version they built looks nothing like my original brief — and it's infinitely better.”

The questions founders actually ask us
Not the FAQ we wrote. The questions from real first calls.
How do you design product pages for the outdoor and active lifestyle market in San Diego?
Activity context is everything in San Diego outdoor retail. We design product pages that show the item in use—surfing, hiking, trail running—and organise specifications by the activity context (water resistance for surfers, weight for hikers). This matches how San Diego's outdoor community actually evaluates gear.
Can you build corporate account systems for retailers serving San Diego's biotech sector?
Yes. We build professional account portals with net payment terms, invoicing, bulk ordering, and corporate card support. These are especially effective for San Diego wellness and supplement retailers whose biotech community customers purchase for personal and workplace use.
How important is Google Shopping for San Diego outdoor gear retailers?
Very important—and significantly underdeveloped for most local retailers. San Diego outdoor shoppers frequently search for specific product models before buying. A well-configured Google Shopping feed with activity-specific titles puts your products in front of these buyers before they find REI or Amazon.
Do you handle California sales tax and Prop 65 compliance?
Yes. California sales tax is configured via TaxJar automation on all San Diego builds. For retailers selling products subject to Proposition 65 (common in outdoor gear and supplements), we add the required warning disclosures at the product page level.
What is the best ecommerce platform for San Diego outdoor retailers?
Shopify is our default for San Diego outdoor retail—particularly its inventory management for size/colour variants, Apple Pay integration for mobile, and Shopify Markets for international shipping (common among San Diego surf brands selling to Australia, Japan, and Brazil).
