Why This Price

What Makes This Different

This isn't a template. It's not a WordPress theme with your logo dropped in. It's a ground-up custom build designed specifically for executive search firms, and specifically for HGI.

The demo site you've been exploring? I built every page, wrote all the content, and designed every component with HGI's brand and market positioning in mind.

A similar project from a large agency would cost $75,000-$150,000+. I'm able to offer it at this price because I'm a focused solo practitioner, not an agency with overhead.

What You're Not Getting

  • Layers of account managers
  • Endless meetings about meetings
  • Templates with your logo
  • Hidden fees and scope creep
  • Six-month timelines

What You Are Getting

  • Direct access to the person doing the work
  • Fast, focused execution
  • Custom design tailored to your brand
  • Clear, all-inclusive pricing
  • Results in 60-90 days

Let's Have a Conversation

No pressure. No hard sell. Just a conversation about whether this makes sense for HGI.
