115 Capital Region business sites measured. Our own sites passed the same gate on the dates shown on the work page.

We measured 115 Capital Region business websites. Here is what we found.
What we find, over and over
Every one is a real local business: contractors, electricians, plumbers, roofers, masons, landscapers. The check below takes a minute on your own phone.
The first screen comes late on Google's phone lab test.
98 of the 102 we could measure. On Google's slow-phone lab test the biggest thing on the first screen arrived after its 2.5 second line (median 7.75 seconds, median page weight 3.3 MB). Without the slowing, most load fast (median 1.3 seconds over 104 unthrottled loads on our own connection).
Check it: put your address into pagespeed.web.dev, Google's own test, and read Largest Contentful Paint under the mobile results.

How we measured
Every site was run through the same 50-plus-check gate we run on our own work before launch, first on 17 to 19 September 2026 and again on 25 September 2026, using Google Lighthouse on a simulated slow phone connection plus one unthrottled browser load of each site on our own connection (a computer, not a phone on a cell network). The speed figures are from the 25 September re-measurement. Lab figures are a stress test, not real visitor data, and one run can differ from the next. The sample is Capital Region home services businesses listed in chamber directories and city license rolls, not a random sample, so treat it as what we found in this trade in this area. The speed figures are counted by our script speed-stats.mjs from the measurement stored for each site (102 sites returned a lab figure, 104 an unthrottled load), and it re-runs on demand.

How it works
- Audit. Free. Your address goes in, the report comes back by email within a business day.
- Scope and price. One written page: what we will do, what it costs, when it is done. You approve it before anything starts.
- Deposit. Fixed-price work is paid up front; builds are half now, half before go-live. Paid through Stripe.
- Build and test. Every page is run through the gate until it passes with zero failures. You see the report.
- Handover. Your domain and Google accounts were yours from day one. The hosting project and the code are transferred to you the moment the balance clears, or held under the Care Plan and transferred free whenever you ask.
Our own websites went through the same gate.
Proof
Two websites and an iOS app we designed, built and run ourselves. The websites went through our own gate on the dates printed on the work page; the app went through App Store review, since the website gate does not apply to an app.
Six answers before you call.
Is the audit really free?
Yes. You get the full report either way, and it tells you exactly what to fix whether you hire us, your nephew, or nobody. It is how we would want to be sold to.
Will you get me to the top of Google?
No. We promise the foundations that make ranking possible, measure each one, and show you the before and after: speed on Google's phone lab test, a site that works on a phone, and pages Google and AI assistants can read.
Who owns the site when it is done?
You do. Your domain and your Google accounts are in your name from day one. The site itself is built under the studio's hosting and code accounts so you do not open three accounts before we start, and it is transferred to you on final payment, or kept under the studio on a Care Plan and transferred free within five business days whenever you ask. We never hold your passwords.
What if my current site is on Wix, Squarespace, WordPress or GoDaddy?
The audit tells us. Some fixes work on any platform, some do not. If your platform will not let us deliver something in the scope, we say so before you pay for it.
How fast?
Website Fix in three business days. Search and AI Foundations in five. Small sites in about a week once we have your content. Larger builds get a date on the scope page.
Do you work outside Albany?
Yes. The work is the same anywhere. We work remotely, by phone and email, and meet in person only by arrangement.
