What you need to get started
We make the process as simple as possible. Here’s everything we need from you. We send a clean onboarding checklist the moment you sign on.
Your page content
Written text for each page — what you do, who you serve, your services, about info. We’ll help structure it during onboarding if needed.
Photos & images
Business photos, team shots, product or location images. No professional photos? We can use stock imagery as a starting point.
Logo & brand colors
Your logo file (PNG or SVG) and brand colors. No brand identity yet? We can point you in the right direction.
2–3 inspiration sites
Sites you like the look or feel of. Not to copy — just to understand the visual direction you’re aiming for.
Domain login (only if you already own one)
If you have an existing domain, we’ll need access to your registrar (GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.) to connect it. Don’t have a domain yet? Register one through us → — domain registration is also included in all new site packages.

What clients say
Real results from real businesses.
“I was nervous about getting a website built — I had no idea what to expect. The Web Silo made it completely painless. They told me exactly what they needed, built it fast, and the result looked better than sites I’d seen from much bigger companies. Live in under two weeks.”
“Our old site was embarrassing — we were almost afraid to give out the URL. The Web Silo rebuilt it and now it’s the first thing I send to every new prospect. We started getting inbound leads within the first month. Night and day difference.”
“What impressed me most was the strategy behind it — they weren’t just making it look good, they were thinking about how it would rank and convert. No bloated proposal, no 3-month wait. They got it done, got it right, and got out of the way. Exactly what I needed.”
