Why we build first.

I started Mainstay Studio because I kept seeing the same thing: great local businesses, the kind everyone in town recommends, with websites that don't come close to the quality of their work.

I run another business myself, and I build a lot of its marketing and systems hands-on. So I know what a website actually has to do. It's not there to look pretty. It's there to make the phone ring and to make a stranger trust you before they've met you.

That's why I flipped the usual deal. Instead of asking you for a deposit and a questionnaire, I do the work first. I study your business, build the whole site, and send you the link. If you love it, it's yours. If not, no hard feelings.
