Eight directions. Not a menu you are stuck with.

Most clients cannot describe the look they want, but they know it instantly when they see it. Point at one of these and we start from there, or mix two and I build the hybrid.

Every direction below is real HTML and CSS, not a picture of a site. Each one works at any tier and costs the same to build.

Advice that compounds

Counsel for founders navigating their first institutional round, and every difficult conversation that follows it.

Most advisory work is sold on access. We sell judgement, which is slower to build and harder to fake, and it is the only thing that still matters at the table.

We take a small number of clients each year and stay with them through the awkward middle, not only the announcement.

That means fewer logos on this page than our competitors, and a partner who answers the phone on a Sunday when a term sheet lands badly.

If that is the shape of help you want, the first conversation costs nothing and usually takes an hour.

“The number on the term sheet is rarely the thing that decides it.”

We work from the constraint sheet backwards. Most studios start from a sketch and negotiate with the factory afterwards, which is how a beautiful product becomes an expensive one.

Engagements run in eight-week blocks with a working prototype at the end of each.

Domain & hosting

Three ways to handle the plumbing

However you go, the domain is registered in your name and the hosting account is in your name. No lock-in, nothing to buy back.

You have a domain and hosting. Send the logins and I build and deploy into what you already pay for.

No extra cost

You purchase the domain and hosting on your own card and I send you exactly what to click. I configure DNS, SSL, email records and backups.

How it runs

Five steps, in this order

Timings are for a Growth build. Launch runs shorter, Signature longer. The sequence does not change.

Website wireframe sketches and a site map drawn on paper
Day 0

Scope and deposit

Pages, features and price agreed in writing. 50% deposit books your slot.

Week 1

Content and structure

You send copy, logos and images against a checklist. I map the sitemap.

Week 2

Design

Homepage first for sign-off, then inner pages follow the approved direction.

Week 3

Build and review

Built on a staging URL you can click through. Revision rounds happen here.

Week 4

Launch and handover

Final invoice, go live, then training, logins, and free maintenance starts.

Marc Turtal
Who builds it

One person, start to finish.

Marc Philip P. Turtal, Director of AI & Automations, based in Makati and working remote across any timezone. You deal with the person building the site, not an account manager relaying messages to a team you never meet.

12+ years across fintech, e-commerce and SaaS, delivering solo and AI-native. The data and AI infrastructure work lives at marcturtal.com; this page is the web design and build side of it.

The fine print, up front

Questions worth asking

How does payment work?

50% deposit to start, 50% on launch. Signature splits 40 / 30 / 30 across scope, design and launch. Deposits are non-refundable once design work begins. Growth and Signature can be split into 3 or 6 equal monthly payments at no extra cost, with the site going live on the second payment.

What does "free maintenance" actually cover?

Updates, backups, security, uptime, and fixing anything that breaks. It does not cover new pages, redesigns or new features, which are quoted separately. Nothing auto-renews into a paid plan without you asking.

What counts as a revision round?

One consolidated set of feedback. Extra rounds are quoted hourly. Changing direction after design sign-off is re-scoped rather than absorbed.

What happens if my content is late?

If content is more than 14 days late the project pauses and returns to the next open slot. This is what keeps everyone else's timeline honest, including yours.

Who owns the site at the end?

You do. On final payment you own the design, the code, the content and the domain outright, and logins are handed over in full. Nothing is held hostage and there is no platform you are locked into.

Are there costs beyond the quote?

Premium plugins, stock photography, licensed fonts and paid apps are billed at cost and listed in your quote before anything is purchased. There are no other fees.

Do I have to pick one of the eight styles?

No. They are starting points that save us three weeks of guessing at the look. Mix two, bring a brand guide, point at a competitor you like, or describe something not shown. None of them are templates and none get reused.

What if none of the tiers fit?

Book a free 20-minute call. If the job does not fit a tier I quote it as a custom build against the same underlying rates. Email me the scope.

Next step

Tell me what the site needs to do.

Send a style number and what you sell. I come back with a fixed price and a start date, usually within one business day.
