The "Anti-Agency" Guarantee

Congress Cited

I built my first website when dial-up was fast. I've outlasted Flash, frames, and a dozen "WordPress killers." Still here. Still shipping.

My tools have powered 129,000+ accounts and moved $2.5M+ through the internet. I've made mistakes you haven't heard of yet. That's why yours will work the first time.

The Unfair Advantage

Why We Build Faster (And Better) Than the Competition

The Blockbuster Model

Most agencies still operate like it's 2005. A project manager emails a designer, who passes files to a junior developer. Meetings. Revisions. More meetings.

How One Person Delivers What Agencies Need Teams For

The Skootle Protocol

I spent 30 years learning what actually works for service businesses - what converts visitors into customers, what builds trust, what ranks in Google.

Then I built something different: 22 specialized AI agents, each one trained on patterns I learned building systems that handled 129,000 simultaneous users. My rules. My quality gates. My creativity checks.

Competitor research. SEO copywriting. Code generation. Security audits. Performance tuning. All running in parallel - while agencies are still scheduling their kickoff meeting.

You're not getting a robot. You're getting me, backed by an AI army I built and direct.

Want to try the AI yourself? Autopilot is our self-serve builder. Same agents, same quality, human review before launch.

Anyone can download a tool. Very few people have architected automation systems that handled 129,000+ simultaneous accounts and generated millions in revenue.

I didn't learn speed from a bootcamp. I learned it in the trenches of the algorithmic wars. My competitors can't keep up because they're still playing by the old rules. I wrote my own.

Your Site Speaks to AI & Voice

Google is yesterday. Tomorrow, customers ask Siri, Alexa, and ChatGPT for recommendations. We build sites they can actually read.

llms.txt Optimized

A special file that tells AI models exactly what your business does, who you serve, and why you're the best choice.

# llms.txt
Business: Petrone Locksmith
Services: Emergency, Residential...
Areas: Richmond, Henrico...

Speakable Schema

Structured data that tells voice assistants which content to read aloud. Perfect for "Hey Siri, find a locksmith near me."

Siri
Alexa
Google

AI Search Ready

When someone asks ChatGPT or Claude for a recommendation, your business shows up with accurate, current information.

"Find a fast locksmith in Richmond"
→ Petrone Locksmith: 24/7 emergency...

27% of searches now happen through voice assistants.

By 2027, that number is projected to exceed 50%. We're building sites for where search is going, not where it was.

48 hours later, you get a working demo with your branding.

You Decide

Love it? We go live. Not convinced? No hard feelings.

The Math Doesn't Lie

Here's what a slow website actually costs you.

Your site loads in 4.2 seconds
53% of visitors bounce before seeing anything
At 800 monthly visitors, that's 424 people gone
At a 3% conversion rate, that's 12 lost leads
At $2,500 per job, that's $30,000/month walking away

We build demos that load in 0.15 seconds.

Same branding. Same phone number. 28x faster.

Common Questions

Everything you need to know before getting started.

Getting Started

How much does a professional website cost in 2026?
A professional website from Skootle costs between thirty-eight hundred and seventy-five hundred dollars. This includes custom design, PageSpeed optimization to 95+, SEO setup, CMS training, and 30 days of support. Most agencies charge fifteen thousand to fifty thousand dollars for comparable quality. We keep costs low by using AI-powered workflows instead of large teams. Call 804-476-0275 for a free consultation.
How long does it take to build a custom website?
We build custom websites in 2-3 weeks, not 2-3 months. Our Sprint Build delivers a complete, high-performance site in about 5 business days after you approve the demo. WordPress migrations take slightly longer due to content transfer. Most agencies need 8-12 weeks because they rely on back-and-forth meetings and multiple team handoffs.
What exactly do I get with the free audit?
You get a complete speed analysis showing exactly how slow your current site is and what it's costing you in lost customers. We run Google PageSpeed tests, calculate your bounce rate impact, and estimate monthly revenue loss. No credit card, no commitment. You'll see the numbers in 24 hours.

Technical Questions

Why is my website so slow?
Most websites are slow because of WordPress plugin bloat, cheap shared hosting, unoptimized images, and outdated code. The average WordPress site loads in 4-6 seconds. Every second over 3 seconds increases bounce rate by 32%. We fix this by building on Next.js with edge hosting, which loads in under 0.5 seconds.
What is PageSpeed and why does it matter?
PageSpeed is Google's official speed test that scores your site from 0-100. Sites scoring below 50 are penalized in search rankings. Our sites score 95+ because speed directly affects both Google ranking and customer conversion. A 1-second improvement can increase conversions by 7%.
What makes your sites faster than WordPress?
We build with Next.js, the same technology Netflix and Uber use. Unlike WordPress, there are no plugins slowing things down, no database queries on every page load, and no shared hosting bottlenecks. Your site is pre-built and served from edge servers worldwide, loading in under 0.5 seconds instead of 4+ seconds.

After Launch

Can I update my website myself after it's built?
Yes. Every site includes a visual CMS (content management system) where you can update text, images, prices, and add blog posts without touching code. We provide video training so you're comfortable making changes. For anything complex, we're one email away.
What ongoing support do you offer?
We offer three retainer tiers: Performance Core at two-forty-nine per month includes hosting, weekly reports, and 2 hours of updates. Growth at four-forty-nine adds monthly content recommendations. Premium at six-seventy-four includes quarterly strategy sessions and 8 hours of updates. No long-term contracts required.

Trust & Decision

I've had a website before that didn't bring in business. Why would this be different?
Most websites fail for three reasons: too slow (visitors leave), invisible on Google (no one finds you), or poor conversion (confusing layout, buried phone number). We address all three with PageSpeed 95+, SEO from day one, and proven conversion patterns. Plus, you see the demo before paying a cent.
I get most of my business from referrals. Do I really need a website?
Here's what most referral-based businesses don't realize: 53% of people who get your name from a friend still Google you before calling. If your site is slow, outdated, or missing, they call your competitor with the better website. Your referrals are checking you out online whether you know it or not.
What's the difference between a template and a custom website?
Templates are pre-designed layouts that thousands of businesses share. They're cheap but slow, hard to customize, and blend in with competitors. Custom sites are built specifically for your business with unique design, faster performance, and SEO tailored to your services and location. Our custom sites cost less than most agencies because we use AI to accelerate the build.
What if I don't like the demo you build?
No hard feelings. The demo is free with zero obligation. If it's not what you envisioned, we part ways as friends. You've lost nothing but gained clarity on what you want. Most businesses love the demo because we study your competitors and industry best practices before building.
