Straight Answers.
Everything clients ask before they press start.
WEEKENDER is an AI-enabled web design agency: AI accelerates production — layouts, code, iteration — while humans direct the art and make the final call on every pixel. The signature offer is the Weekend Sprint: a production site of up to five pages, briefed and built in the time a weekend takes, with SEO and AI-engine visibility included.
The Sprint
Is it really just a weekend?
Yes. The work runs in the time a weekend takes: a focused brief, then design, build, and launch — a weekend, compressed. AI acceleration compresses the production hours; a focused scope — up to five pages — keeps the sprint honest.
What do you need from me before we start?
Your goals, your content — rough bullet points are fine — and whatever brand assets exist. One structured call covers the rest. If all you have is a name and a direction, say so in the project brief; we build brand systems too.
What if my site is bigger than five pages?
It runs as a multi-sprint engagement — the same single-weekend rhythm, repeated until the map is covered. Scope and the number of sprints are fixed up front, so the quote never moves after kickoff. Most sites launch at five pages and grow from there.
What happens after launch?
Every sprint includes two rounds of post-launch tweaks within 14 days. After that, most clients move to the monthly subscription for ongoing design and development — or simply take the keys, since every build ships with full handoff docs. Either way, we stay past the finish line.
The AI Part
What does AI actually do on my project?
Production: layout iterations, front-end code, content structuring — the repetitive passes that used to burn agency weeks. Strategy, taste, and the final call on every pixel stay human. That split is the whole model — machine acceleration under human art direction. The long version lives on the studio page.
Will my site look AI-generated?
No. Zero templates — every build starts from a blank grid, art-directed by a human against your brand and your audience. This site is the proof: designed and built exactly the way we build client work. Judge the output in our work.
Is my brief or data used to train AI models?
No. Your brief, content, and assets are used to build your project — nothing else. We don't feed client material into model training, and your brief stays private: no lists, no spam, no third parties.
Do humans review everything?
Yes — every line of code, every layout, every word. AI drafts; a human art director approves. Nothing ships that a person hasn't made the final call on.
Money & Ownership
What does it cost?
Three ways in: a flat $4,900 Weekend Sprint for a full site of up to five pages, a $990/month design-and-development subscription, and custom partner programs scoped quarterly. Flat rates — no discovery-phase black hole. The full breakdown is on the pricing page.
Do I own the site?
You own what's yours from day one — your domain, content, images, and every lead your forms capture, on your own accounts. The custom design and code are licensed to you while you rent; buy them out any time (the price drops every month you pay) or choose rent-to-own and the whole build transfers to you free at 36 months. Cancel and nothing goes dark — you keep a working copy you can host anywhere, and there's no exit fee.
What about hosting and domains?
Both run on your own accounts — we set them up at launch and hand over the keys. Most builds host free or nearly free on modern static platforms. Hosting fees never carry a markup because they're never bundled into our pricing.
Can I pause the subscription?
Any time, effective your next billing date — pause when the queue is empty, resume when it fills. No minimum term, no cancellation call, no exit fee. Your files and your place stay intact while paused.
