Modern minimal workspace with a desk lamp against a white wall.
A website isn't a brochure. It's a salesperson that works the night shift. The job is simple. Catch attention on Google. Hold it on the page. Turn it into a customer. No dark patterns. No third-party bloat. No redesign every eighteen months because someone got bored.We're a small crew of developers, technical SEOs, and editors holed up in Sheridan, Wyoming. We take a few clients a quarter, build the thing right, and stick around as the quiet partner while it compounds. No agency theater. No retainer nobody reads.

What we build.

Two practices. One bill. No upsells halfway through.

Web
Development

SVC / 01
Close-up of colorful programming code displayed on a monitor.

Custom, fast, accessible websites built in modern frameworks. We design in the browser, ship to the edge, and own the whole stack. Information architecture. Deploy pipeline. The boring stuff nobody talks about because it actually works.

SEO
Optimization

SVC / 02
Detailed close-up of a financial graph showing data trends.

Search engine optimization that treats your site like a system, not a 47-point checklist. We pair technical SEO with editorial production, then prove the work in monthly cohort reports. Not vanity dashboards. Not screenshots of green check marks.

How we ship.

Twelve weeks. Then a retainer that pays for itself.
01Week 0

Diagnostic

We crawl, benchmark, interview, and write a one-page memo of what's actually busted. Yours to keep, even if we never work together. We'd rather you have the diagnosis.

02Week 1–4

Foundations

Core Web Vitals. IA. Schema. Redirects. The editorial system. The plumbing nobody Instagrams about, because it's the thing that makes everything else compound.

03Week 5–12

Production

We design, build, and publish. Pages. Posts. Modules. Weekly previews on a staging URL. No grand reveal at the end. No surprise invoices the month after.

04Quarterly

Compound

You're live. We shift to a quiet retainer. Ship. Measure. Repeat. One page of numbers in your inbox the first Monday of every month.

Search wins from real operators.

Velvet Storm rebuilt the store and fixed the search mess we had stopped noticing. Organic revenue is finally predictable, and the site feels lighter every month.

We needed a serious site without a slow agency process. Velvet Storm gave us a CMS, fast pages, and search structure our internal team can actually maintain.

Reasonable questions.

Tap to expand. Honest answers below.
Because the work gets done by the people you actually hired. Velvet Storm is a tight crew of senior developers, technical SEOs, and editors. No account managers. No junior strategists. No hand-offs to someone you've never met. The person you brief is the person who ships.
Both. About half our engagements start as rebuilds. We keep your brand and rewrite the engine. Performance, IA, SEO, CMS. We migrate your redirects properly. Your rankings stay where they belong.
Technical wins like indexation, schema, and Core Web Vitals usually land in four to eight weeks. Editorial and link-driven gains compound from month three. By month nine on the Storm Suite, we expect a 3x to 5x lift on your organic baseline. We write the forecast down on day one. You get to hold us to it.
No. And anyone who does is lying to you. What we do guarantee is the work itself. Deliverables. Deadlines. We keep working a problem until the numbers move. Our retention rate is the proof. We average 31 months per client.
We're in Sheridan, Wyoming. Our clients are everywhere from Boston to Vancouver. The workflow is async by default. Weekly Looms. A shared Linear. A Friday call if anyone wants one. Nobody wants more meetings.
Great. We embed on the SEO side only, or we hand off a built system for your team to maintain. Most of our codebases ship with a 50-page README and a Loom walkthrough on hand-off. Your developer will thank us.
