No migration here, no audit, no redirect map — this is the greenfield variant: you point us at a domain and a week later you have a production stack you can edit through Claude, Codex, or Cursor. The price buys the boring three-day chunk most solo builders eat the hard way the first time: Cloudflare account wiring, DNS, secrets, GA4 plus GTM with the UTM injector pre-configured, Emailit plus Turnstile contact form on a sibling Worker, Lighthouse plus axe CI gates so a careless commit cannot regress the build, and a README with the exact commands and prompts to drive the site over MCP. The end-of-week walkthrough covers extending content types and components — your code, our setup, and a working stack you have not had to debug. The first AI-driven edit lands in thirty minutes, not three days. One-week fixed-price engagement, starting at $1,500.

The full thinking behind this engagement — why a vibecoded marketing site is a different shape from a migrated one — lives in the vibecoding marketing-site post. The analytics layer we pre-wire follows our open-source GA4 + GTM + UTM recipe so you can see exactly what is being installed. If you eventually need an integration the EmDash ecosystem has not built yet, the custom plugin engagement picks it up; for steady ongoing work after the first preview, see the retainer.

FAQ

Frequently asked.

Why pay for a setup if I can clone a starter?

You can. The setup buys you the Cloudflare account wiring, DNS, secrets, CI, and a walkthrough so the first MCP edit lands in 30 minutes instead of three days. If you would rather DIY, our blog has the same recipe for free.

Can I use a different CMS later?

Yes. The Astro + structured-content layer ports cleanly to Sanity, Payload, or Decap. EmDash is portable, not a lock-in.

Do you do this for non-marketing sites?

For most marketing-style microsites and small SaaS landings, yes. For e-commerce or auth-heavy apps, talk to us first — EmDash may not be the right fit yet.
