Denver, Colorado · Web Design

Your business deserves a website that works as hard as you do.

Most small-business sites are slow, invisible on Google, or locked behind whoever built them. We build fast, custom sites that bring in customers — for one flat monthly price. And you own every bit of it.

The Reality

A slow, invisible website costs you customers every single day.

Your storefront is online now. When it's dated, hard to find, or half-broken on a phone, people don't call — they call the shop that showed up first.

Invisible on Google

If you don't show up when someone searches your trade "near me," you don't exist to them. Most small-business sites have no real local SEO at all.

Locked out of your own site

You paid someone once, and now you can't change your own hours without chasing them down. Your domain and content aren't even in your name.

Losing leads after hours

A customer finds you at 8pm, the site is slow or confusing, and the moment's gone. No tap-to-call, no form that works, no follow-up.

3 sec
is all it takes to lose them — over half of mobile visitors leave a site that takes longer than three seconds to load. Most small-business sites don't come close. Every one of ours does.
What We Do

Everything a local business needs. Nothing it doesn't.

Every build ships to the same standard — fast, secure, accessible, and set up to be found on Google. Here's the full toolkit.

01

Website design & build

A custom site written in your voice — fast, mobile-first, and built to turn visitors into phone calls. Never a cookie-cutter template.

02

Local SEO foundation

Schema, clean structure, and a fully set-up Google Business Profile so customers find you first. Free in every build.

03

Care & maintenance

Text us a change and it's live. Hosting, SSL, security, and monthly edits — all handled, so nothing rots.

04

SEO growth

Ongoing content, reviews, and keyword tracking to climb the rankings and stay ahead of the shop down the street.

05

E-commerce

A real cart — Stripe, Snipcart, or Shopify — with cards and Bitcoin. Sell online without the platform tax.

06

Automation

Missed-call text-back, online booking, and lead nurture so an 8pm inquiry never dies in a voicemail box.

Pricing

Simple plans. No surprise invoices.

Most clients choose a monthly plan — build, hosting, edits, and SEO all included, so the site keeps earning. Prefer to own it outright? That's below too.

About Functional Intelligence

We got tired of watching good businesses get overcharged and underserved.

Functional Intelligence is a two-person, Denver-based shop. We build websites the way we'd want ours built: fast, honest, and fully yours. No offshore hand-offs, no locked doors, and none of the "innovative synergy" language that means nothing to a plumber, a dentist, or a shop owner.

Between us we've spent years running operations, managing projects, and building the exact systems small businesses actually need. We started FI because we kept seeing owners pay thousands for a site they couldn't edit, couldn't find on Google, and didn't even own.

When you work with us, you get two operators who answer their own phone — people who understand your bandwidth, your budget, and what it takes to turn a website into paying customers.

Why we built FI this way

We've both built and run organizations of our own — a Bitcoin-accepting nonprofit, an education foundation, real client work under real deadlines. That means we know what it feels like to be the owner: stretched thin, wearing every hat, and burned before by someone who overpromised and disappeared.

So we built FI to be the opposite of that. Flat, honest pricing. A site that's genuinely fast and genuinely findable. Full ownership handed to you on day one. And a standard we hold every single build to — the same one this page was built to.

We're new, and we're upfront about it. That's exactly why our first clients get founding rates and a founder building their site personally. We're not trying to be the biggest agency in Denver. We're trying to be the one you'd recommend to your neighbor.
