Most websites are lost in the handoff.

Design goes to one team and the build goes to another, and the thing that made the design worth paying for does not survive the translation. At Nelanor the studio that designs your site is the studio that engineers it, ships it and keeps it running.

A typical agency project

five handoffs

  1. Sales
  2. Strategist
  3. Designer
  4. Developer
  5. QA
  6. Account manager

Each handoff is the brief rewritten by someone who was not in the last meeting. Most of the calendar is waiting for the next one.

How Nelanor works

no handoffs

  1. You
  2. Design and engineering, the same peopledesigns it, builds it, ships it, keeps it running
  3. Built in about 3 days

A decision made on Tuesday morning is in the build on Tuesday afternoon. That is the only reason three days is a real number.

A typical agency project passes through six roles with five handoffs between them. At Nelanor you talk directly to the people who design and build the site, with no handoffs.

What we commit to

We write the code, so there is no builder tax
No page-builder plugins to renew and no theme that breaks on update. It loads fast because there is very little of it.
We measure before handover, not after
Core Web Vitals, throttled, on a phone, on the finished build. A page that fails does not get handed over.
You own it, and you can leave
Design, content, code, domain. Ownership transfers when the 14-day guarantee closes, and you can take it to any host.

What we will not do

Take work outside what we do
A store with thousands of products or a platform that needs a standing engineering team belongs with a studio that does that every day. We will say so in the first reply.
Sell you a rebuild you do not need
Sometimes a site is three changes away from working. If so, that is what we will tell you.
Put a number on your results
Nobody can honestly promise rankings or revenue. We promise the build: the speed, the structure, the tracking, the date it goes live.

Three days, and when money moves

The rail is what you owe at each point. It stays green until the whole site is built and you love it.

  1. Two minutes

    You tell us about the business

    Two short steps on the start page. No call needed, and we are glad to talk if you would rather.

    Nothing owed

  2. Within two business days

    We design your homepage

    From what you told us and what is already public about the business. We draft the words. There is no questionnaire to fill in first.

    Nothing owed

  3. Your call

    You approve it, or you do not

    Approving costs nothing. Walk away here and nothing is owed.

    Nothing owed

  4. About three days

    We build the whole site

    It appears on your private page. Send a logo and photos if you have them, and ask for changes as often as you like.

    Nothing owed

  5. When you love it

    You pay, and it goes live

    One payment by card on Stripe's secure page. The 14-day money-back window opens.

    Build fee paid, refundable until 14 days after launch

  6. Day 14 on

    It is yours

    Design, content and code transfer to you. Hosting runs until you cancel it.

    Hosting only, cancel anytime

The terms behind this are one click away: refund policy and terms. Larger builds take longer than three days, and we give you the date up front.

You do not have to believe any of that

Eight complete websites, built in-house so there is something to check the claims against. They are concept builds and they are running software. Open one and try to break it.

Use the builds

Each one is written up with the brief it had to answer.

Our work

Weigh them

We publish what a phone downloads for all eight, with the method.

The measurements

Read the terms first

The guarantee and ownership are written down, not implied.
