Section 01 // Problems
Sound familiar?
Common patterns I hear from business owners before we work together.
- 01
You're paying every month for software nobody at the shop opens.
- 02
Your ad and lead-gen spend is a black box. You can't tell which channels pay for themselves.
- 03
Your website looks like it's from 2010, and your "web guy" disappears for weeks.
- 04
You're not sure the numbers are right: tax settings, job costs, what a customer is worth.
- 05
The subscriptions add up ($400 here, $150 there) and you don't have time to sit down and untangle them.
Section 02 // What I fix
Operations to analytics.
Cheap, fast data connectors hooked to your existing tools, analyzed locally, distilled to the small set of facts that carry the signal. Run the whole loop or just the slice you need.
01
Websites
Design, build, fix, or rescue. One-time builds you own outright — code, domain, and content. Optional $50/mo care plan if you'd rather not run it yourself.
02
Software & subscriptions
Audit what you're paying for, cancel what you don't use, and fix what's misconfigured — tax settings, broken integrations, two systems doing one job.
03
Marketing & lead channels
Connect the data and measure what a lead costs on each channel, so you can double down on what pays for itself and cut what doesn't.
04
Customer & cash-flow analytics
Simple charts from your own data: who your best customers are, which jobs are worth taking, where the cash goes each month.
Pricing:Scoped per project. You get a number before any work starts. See pricing ↓
Section 03 // How I work
Four principles.
Commitments that show up in every engagement, in the contract, and in how I bill.
Principle 01
You own it
Your domain, your code, your content. If you ever want to leave, I send you the full backup and walk you through deployment elsewhere.
→ Are you locked in?Principle 02
One-time, not monthly
Pay once for the build. Optional $50/mo management only if you don't want to handle hosting yourself. No mystery monthly fees.
→ Do you need management?Principle 03
Built to perform
Fast load times, mobile-first, accessibility-compliant. Passing Core Web Vitals. The technical foundation Google's algorithm rewards.
→ Why this mattersPrinciple 04
Designed for your customers
Every feature answers a question your customer is asking. The visitor is shopping for your services; the site exists to help them decide on you, not to look impressive.

Section 05 // Website pricing
What a website costs.
Websites range from straightforward to involved, and the price follows the work. Builds start at $1,000. A clear site with the standard set of features lands near that. One that needs a deeper dive, bespoke features, integrations, or a start from nothing takes more time and costs more. Either way you get a number before any work starts.
Straightforward
Most contractor sites
From $1,000
You know your services, you have a logo and photos, and you want the standard feature set done right. Most contractor sites live here. Everything in the list below is included.
Involved
More pages, more depth
Quoted on the call
Custom sections, a real project portfolio, copy written from interviews with you, and connections to the tools you already run: CRM, scheduling, review platforms, payments.
From scratch
Priced by time
Quoted on the call
No brand, no photos, no copy, maybe no domain. We build the whole thing, including the parts that aren't strictly a website. Priced by time, agreed up front.
After launch:Every build is fully yours. Self-host for free, or add $50/mo management and I keep refining content, adding project pages, and watching what converts. You can switch either way at any time.

— From the contract
Already with another agency?
Stuck in a contract or unsure what you actually own?
Most contracts have an exit clause people don't read carefully, and the cost of leaving is often smaller than what you're losing in opportunity cost. The intro call is free.

Matt Runchey
Founder, Runchey Engineering
I've spent 10 years building software at venture-backed startups in Seattle and San Francisco. Most of that work was building the backend systems companies run on (data pipelines, payments, finance, analytics).
I started Runchey Websites because web agencies still seem to be charging premium prices for bargain-bin tools, and because it isn't fun as a customer to browse painfully outdated sites. The technology to build fast, mobile-first, accessible websites that are tailored to a specific business is now here.
The digital challenges small businesses face don't end with the website. They extend through software bills, lead channels that don't pay for themselves, tax settings applied differently across different tools, books that don't add up, and more. Using the same technology, I'm able to quickly pull together the relevant data necessary to help you make better business decisions.
Seattle-based. I work with shops across Western Washington, and remote clients elsewhere.
