Vantage Digital Studio

Custom sites. Custom apps. Custom platforms. Hand-coded from a boutique Texas studio.

Hand-coded websites, SEO / AEO / GEO optimization, analytics with lead intelligence, and AI automation — built for the same operator we’d hire ourselves. Not templated. Not agency-priced. Not lock-in software.

01  /  What we build

Custom websites — coded by hand.

Design-forward, semantically correct HTML/CSS/JS. Referenced against Hariri Pontarini, Paolo Ferrari, Luxury Presence. Sub-2-second load times. 90+ Lighthouse across the board. No Squarespace, no Webflow lock-in. You own the code outright.

  • Hand-coded — every page, every animation, every interaction
  • Design-forward — typography, motion, whitespace as first-class citizens
  • Mobile-first + retina — iPhone, iPad, desktop, all pixel-perfect
  • Sub-2-second loads — page speed as ranking signal
  • Code ownership — hosted where you want, ported when you want
  • 21-day delivery — typical launch from signature to live
02  /  Search visibility

SEO, AEO, GEO. All three, not just the first.

Being found by Google is table stakes. Being cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google’s AI Overviews is the new game. We build for both from day one.

  • SEO — Schema.org structured data, XML sitemaps, robots, Open Graph, semantic markup
  • AEO — Answer Engine Optimization: FAQ schema, direct-answer copy, entity resolution
  • GEO — Generative Engine Optimization: content structured for LLM citation and quoting
  • Google Business Profile — claimed, verified, optimized, refreshed monthly
  • Local schema — LocalBusiness, CafeOrCoffeeShop, GeneralContractor, etc.
  • Monthly ranking reports — not vanity metrics; actual search share movement
03  /  Growth intelligence

Analytics + lead intelligence. Watch every visitor.

Every client site ships with a dashboard that shows exactly who’s visiting, what they clicked, and every inquiry captured with full context. Session recordings included.

  • Plausible — privacy-first traffic analytics, no cookies, GDPR/CCPA/PIPEDA compliant
  • Microsoft Clarity — anonymized session recordings + heatmaps
  • Lead dashboard — every form submission with source page, session length, referrer, device
  • Weekly digest — automated summary of notable sessions + qualified inquiries
  • No reverse-enrichment — no Clearbit Reveal, no RB2B, no IP unmasking. Consent-based only, always.
  • Custom lead scoring — on higher tiers, scoring rules built to your qualification framework
04  /  The ops layer

Integrations & AI automation. Marketing-team leverage.

Stripe checkout, PandaDoc contracts, Buffer social scheduling, Zapier/Make orchestration, custom AI agents. The infrastructure that runs itself so you don’t hire a marketing team.

  • Stripe — payment links, subscriptions, invoicing wired to your account
  • PandaDoc — e-signature contracts with Stripe payment collection
  • Zapier + Make — the connective tissue between every tool you use
  • AI agent workflows — content, replies, inventory alerts, review responses
  • Google Business + social APIs — auto-sync menus, hours, photos, posts
  • Email + CRM — Brevo, HubSpot, custom pipelines built to your workflow
