About Saintek

A small studio with one job:
make your site rank.

We build fast, AI-ready websites for service professionals. No bloated WordPress themes. No $15k generic agencies. No hourly billing surprises. Just sites that load fast, rank on Google, and get cited in ChatGPT.

Why we exist

The web stopped serving small business owners somewhere around 2019.

Generic agencies charge $5,000-$15,000 for a WordPress site that loads in 4 seconds, ships 47 plugins, and ranks for nothing. Then they sell you a $3,000/month retainer to "manage" what they should have built right the first time.

Meanwhile, search itself is changing. 60% of Google queries end without a click. ChatGPT handles over a billion queries a day. Your customer isn't scrolling page two — they're asking an AI for a recommendation, and your site isn't even in the answer.

Saintek exists to fix both problems at once. We build sites the way Linear and Stripe build product: fast, opinionated, no bullshit. Astro for zero JavaScript, Cloudflare for global edge delivery, schema everywhere so AI engines can actually parse you. Fixed prices. Real timelines. No retainer required.

We're small on purpose. We work with a handful of clients at a time, ship each site like it's our own, and stay out of your inbox unless it matters.

Principles

Four rules. No exceptions.

  • Ship fast. Charge fairly.

    Starter sites in 3-5 days. Authority builds in 3-4 weeks. Fixed prices from $650. We don't bill hourly, we don't scope-creep, we don't quote $15k for a 5-page site.

  • Performance is not negotiable.

    Every page we ship targets 100/100/100/100 in Lighthouse. LCP under 1.5s on mobile. Zero JavaScript on landing pages unless interactivity demands it. If your current site isn't this fast, Google notices.

  • If AI can't cite you, you don't exist.

    ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini are answering more questions than Google now. Structured data, llms.txt, and entity optimization aren't optional — they're the new SEO.

  • Own your site. Forever.

    On final payment, you own everything — design, content, code, domain, analytics. No platform lock-in. Hosting is free on Cloudflare. Maintenance is optional and cancellable.

Process

How we work.

Four phases. Real timelines. Optional retainer. No long-term contracts.

  1. Audit

    Free · 30 min

    We review your current site (or a competitor's), pull rank data, and identify the top 3 wins. No sales pitch.

  2. Build

    3 days – 4 weeks

    Astro + Cloudflare. You see live staging in 3–5 days for Starter, 1–2 weeks for Authority builds.

  3. Launch

    Same day

    DNS cutover. We handle GBP, schema, sitemap, llms.txt, GA4, and Clarity. Zero downtime.

  4. Grow

    Optional · monthly

    SEO / AEO / GEO retainer. Track citations, rankings, and leads. Cancel anytime — no contracts.

Tech stack

Boring tech. Boring on purpose.

Every piece of our stack is chosen for two things: maximum performance and zero recurring costs to you. We use what works, not what's trending.

  • Astro

    Framework

    Zero JavaScript by default. Ships pure HTML/CSS. Component-based authoring with full TypeScript.

    Why we use it Beats WordPress on speed, Next.js on simplicity, and React on bundle size for marketing sites.

  • Cloudflare Pages

    Hosting

    Global edge CDN with sub-100ms TTFB worldwide. Free SSL, free DDoS protection, free unlimited bandwidth.

    Why we use it Free at the scale of every client we have. No hidden bandwidth costs. Edge cache resets in 5 seconds.

  • Vanilla CSS

    Styling

    Custom properties for theming. CSS Grid + Flexbox for layout. No utility framework, no preprocessor, no runtime cost.

    Why we use it Tailwind ships 40 KB of CSS for a simple page. Our average stylesheet is 12 KB and reads like English.

  • Schema.org

    Structured data

    JSON-LD for every entity: business, services, FAQs, reviews, breadcrumbs.

    Why we use it It's how Google AI Overviews and LLMs decide who to cite. No structured data = no AI visibility.

  • Resend + Cloudflare Workers

    Forms & email

    Serverless form processing with proper validation, rate-limiting, and deliverability.

    Why we use it 100 emails/day free. No SMTP setup. Lands in inbox, not spam folder.

  • GA4 + Microsoft Clarity

    Analytics

    Traffic, conversion, and session recording — all anonymized and GDPR-aware.

    Why we use it GA4 for the numbers, Clarity for the heatmaps and session videos. Both free.
