About

Two engineers. No one in between.

Periapse Labs is a two-person studio. We rebuild small, slow websites on a modern stack for a flat fee, then hand them over so you can run them yourself. No account managers, no junior hand-offs, no monthly retainer waiting at the end.

Why we work this way

Most small businesses get the same deal: an agency says the old site has to go, rebuilds it on a page builder only they know, and puts you on a monthly fee to keep it running. The result is barely faster, barely better, and you can't leave.

We built Periapse Labs to be the opposite of that. A short, fixed engagement. A stack your next developer will recognize. A final invoice instead of a recurring one. The whole point is that you don't need us after launch.

What we hold to

Four rules we don't bend.

01

One flat fee

We quote a single number before we start and lock the scope. If we underestimate, that's our problem to eat, not a change order for you.

02

Tools you own

Astro or plain Gutenberg WordPress. Standards-based, no proprietary builder you have to license forever. Any developer can pick it up.

03

We hand off and leave

You get the code, the deploy config, and a walkthrough. No retainer is required to keep the lights on. Support is there only if you ask.

04

Honest about fit

If a rebuild won't help you, or we're not the right shop, we say so. We would rather pass than sell you work you don't need.

Who you work with

Senior developers. 25+ years combined.

Two senior engineers, not an agency bench. We knock out your site on evenings and weekends, then turn it back over to you. You get the experience without the overhead, and a finished site without a standing invoice.

25+ years

Combined experience across design, front-end, and infrastructure. No junior learning on your dime.

Evenings & weekends

How we build. You get senior work at a flat fee instead of agency day rates.

Then it's yours

We finish, hand over the code and a walkthrough, and step back out of your inbox.

Send us a link to the site you want replaced.

Paste the URL, mention what platform it's on, and what's bugging you. If it's a fit, you get a flat quote. If it's not, you get a straight "not for us." Never a sales sequence.
