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 the best architecture and luxury real-estate studios, not templates. 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
  • Ten-day delivery — typical Custom Site 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
  • Local schema — LocalBusiness, CafeOrCoffeeShop, GeneralContractor, etc.
  • 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 platform builds, 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

A method, not a template.

03
Mid-project review

Mandatory mid-build walkthrough. Every revision locked before launch — no launch-day surprises.

Private school · concept
Grove Academy

An independent K–12 school: an admissions journey families can follow, a working tuition-and-aid estimator, a live athletics hub, a giving engine with a live thermometer, and a newsroom — no multi-year platform contract.

Luxury home builder · concept
Heron & Coast

A coastal custom-home builder: editorial project gallery, a Preliminary Read estimator that qualifies lot and budget before the first call, a founder-voice project journal answer engines can quote, and a contact flow that carries the read with it.

Hand-coded · HomeAndConstructionBusiness schema · Preliminary Read estimator · Editorial gallery · Lead capture · Plausible

Boutique café · concept
Blackthorn Coffee

A neighborhood roastery: a Ritual Builder that assembles a signature order, a cart drawer with Stripe-ready subscriptions, an events calendar, and a menu structured so an AI can quote it when someone asks for the best coffee nearby.

Hand-coded · CafeOrCoffeeShop + Menu schema · Ritual Builder · Cart drawer · Google Business Profile · Plausible

Property management · concept
Alderline Residential

A three-market residential manager: an owner statement that assembles itself with every supporting invoice attached, a maintenance queue that replaces the one phone number, a leasing pipeline off the spreadsheet, and a consolidated portfolio rollup — all sitting alongside AppFolio or Buildium, not replacing them.

Hand-coded · RealEstateAgent schema · Owner statement packet · Maintenance queue · Leasing pipeline · Multi-market rollup · Guarantee tracker

All four are fictional demonstration brands. Client work is published only with written permission.
