Say the true thing
If a rebuild won't fix your problem, we say so — even when the rebuild is the bigger invoice. It costs us projects and wins us referrals.
About us
Small studio. Senior people. No middle layer.
IgniteSite Co is four people who got tired of watching good businesses get sold bad websites. No account managers, no offshore handoff, no 40-page proposal. The person who designs your site is the person who builds it and the person who answers your email.

Our story
We started this after one bad quote too many.
A friend of the studio was quoted $22,000 and four months for a six-page site. What she got was a template, a login she never used, and an invoice for every question she asked.
That's a common story, and it's mostly a structural problem: big agencies have to pay for the strategists, the account team and the office. Someone has to fund all of that, and it's the small business owner who just wanted a website that loads fast and makes the phone ring.
So we built the opposite. Four senior people, fixed prices published on the site, a free audit before you spend anything, and a hard rule that we tell you when you don't need what you're asking for. It turns out that's a business model.
Principles
Five things we won't bend on.
Ship in days, not quarters
Long projects drift. We keep scope tight enough to launch in a few days and improve from real data afterwards.
Fixed price, always
You get one number before we start and the same number at the end. Hourly billing punishes you for asking questions.
You own everything
Domain, code, hosting, analytics — in your name from day one. Nothing we build should be able to hold you hostage.
Pretty isn't the point
A beautiful site that doesn't convert is a failure with good taste. We design toward a number and then check whether we hit it.
Fast is a feature
Every second of load time costs you customers. Performance budgets are set before design starts, not patched at the end.
The team
Four people. That's the whole company.
You'll meet all of us on the kickoff call and you'll keep working with the same faces until launch.
Alina VosFounder & lead designer
Twelve years in product and brand design. Writes the first line of copy for every project, on purpose.
Theo MarchettiLead engineer
Ex-agency, ex-startup. Has a personal vendetta against unnecessary JavaScript and a performance budget to prove it.
Rae OkonkwoStrategy & content
Turns "we do a bit of everything" into a sentence a customer can repeat. Runs every discovery call.
Sam IbarraCare & support
The person who actually replies. Handles hosting, edits, monitoring and the occasional 11pm emergency.
How we work
Straight lines, short meetings.
One shared board, one weekly check-in, one staging link you can open any time. Most clients speak to us for less than two hours total across a whole project.
