Built around outcomes,
not feature lists.
Most agencies sell "responsive design" and "SEO optimization" like those are deliverables. Here's what they actually mean for your business.
Loads in under 2 seconds
Built on Next.js, hosted on Vercel's edge. Half your competitors load in 5+ seconds. You won't.
Mobile-first by default
Designed for the phone screen first. ~70% of your traffic is mobile. Big tap targets, click-to-call, no pinching.
Forms that actually convert
Engineered to capture leads. Sticky on mobile. Three fields if you want speed, fifteen if you want qualification.
SEO baked in from day one
Schema markup, semantic HTML, sitemaps, meta everything. Ranks from launch, not month six.
A CMS your team can use
Update copy, swap photos, add testimonials yourself. No developer needed for a price change.
Engineered to convert
Every CTA, headline, and form flow turns a visitor into a customer. Not pretty. Profitable.
From kickoff to launch
in 3 to 5 weeks.
Same process whether you need a quick redesign or a full custom build. No surprises, no scope creep, fixed price upfront.
Brief call
30 min, free. We learn your business, your goals, your competition.
Fixed quote
One number, not a retainer. Approve it and we start in 5 days.
Build & review
Weekly check-ins on a private staging URL until it's right.
Launch
Zero downtime cutover. You own the code, content, hosting, everything.
What you get with Plain Talk
vs the others.
Why work with a small studio instead of a big agency or a template builder. The honest breakdown.
What clients
ask first.
It depends on the number of pages, integrations, and complexity. Most projects land between $3,000 and $15,000. You get a fixed quote upfront, no retainers, no surprise fees. Request a quote and we'll respond within 24 hours.
Typical turnaround is 3 to 5 weeks from kickoff to launch. Simpler builds ship in 2 weeks. Larger or more complex projects take 6 to 8. We give you a real timeline before you commit anything.
That's most of what we do. We map every existing URL to its new equivalent with 301 redirects, preserve your content, and re-submit your sitemap. Most clients see rankings improve within 30 days because the new site is faster and better optimized.
Yes. We build custom stores on modern stacks (Shopify, Sanity Commerce, or fully custom with Stripe). Better performance and SEO than out-of-the-box themes, and you own everything.
We can work with what you have. If you have copy and photos, we use them. If you don't, we write copy from a 30-minute interview with you and source professional stock photography. No extra charge.
Totally fine. Submit the form anyway and tell us what you're thinking. We'll give you an honest read on whether we're a fit, what a project would look like, and what it'd cost. No sales pitch. No follow-up sequences. Real answer, then it's your call.
