8 phases, each with a deliverable you can hold.
A Custom Studio Build starts at $5,000. Page count, content migration, integrations, publishing requirements, and review needs determine the proposal. A custom CMS for agreed content is included when needed, with no separate CMS line item or monthly CMS fee. Focused scopes can fit the $3,750 Full Site Rebuild even for an established firm. Essential Website starts at $2,250 for a focused new site or modern refresh, including straightforward multi-page work when scoped. The phases below explain what a custom engagement involves.
| Phase | What you get | Who and when |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Discovery and positioning | A working session on who the firm serves, what a serious prospect needs to see before calling, what the current site fails to say, and which competitors the firm is measured against. Output is a 1-page positioning brief the copy and design are built from. | Trevor and Taylor, before kickoff |
| 2. Page architecture | A sitemap with the purpose of every page and the next step each one leads to. Typical scope is 6 to 12 pages: home, services or practice areas, who we serve, team and credentials, process, insights or resources, contact, and the legal and disclosure pages a regulated firm needs. | Taylor, week 1 |
| 3. Copy and disclosures | Full first-draft copy for every page, written from the brief and the firm's own language, prepared for the client's review. For RIAs, law firms, and healthcare practices, the disclosure and disclaimer paths are laid out at this stage so the compliance reviewer sees them early. TMN prepares the language for review and does not approve or file anything. | Taylor, week 1 to 2 |
| 4. Design and hand-coding | The site is designed and coded in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript by the founder who took the first call. No theme, no page builder, no licensed advisor platform. Typography, layout, and motion are chosen for the firm. A Custom Studio Build first review is typically ready 7 to 10 days after kickoff, and a Full Site Rebuild first draft typically targets 72 hours. | Trevor, days 7 to 10 |
| 5. Integrations | Scheduling, contact and lead capture, email notifications, and the firm's existing tools where scoped: booking links, CRM forms, client portal links, newsletter or advisor-platform embeds. Local-search and profile setup is included when scoped. | Trevor, alongside the build |
| 6. Review rounds | Revisions go directly to the person who built the page and are usually turned the same day or the next. For regulated firms, the compliance reviewer's returns are placed word for word, and the site does not launch until the firm's reviewer has cleared it. | Trevor, until approval |
| 7. Structured data, search, and launch | Schema for the organization, people, services, and FAQ so search engines and AI assistants can read the firm correctly, an industry-targeted keyword plan, sitemap and search console setup, hosting, redirects from the old site, and launch checks on desktop and mobile. | Trevor, launch day |
| 8. Handoff and ownership | After full payment, the website files and project assets created specifically for the firm transfer subject to the signed agreement. A client-owned domain stays in the client's account. Third-party software, fonts, stock assets, and other licensed materials remain under their providers' terms. General business care is optional from $50/month. New RIA engagements include managed hosting and care at $100/month from launch, billed separately from the build. The optional Managed Publishing Portal starts at $100/month. Care is month to month with a handoff of paid project files if you later leave. | After full payment |
Timelines are typical targets, not guarantees. Final launch timing depends on content, integrations, compliance review, and approvals, and is confirmed in the project agreement. See the pricing page and terms.
A Custom Studio Build with more working room.
Most solo advisors and focused rebuilds still fit the Essential Website or Full Site Rebuild. Larger content inventories, multiple stakeholders, deeper copy, and a longer review process add the working layers below to the 8 phases above. These are quoted per scope in the written proposal, not priced from a fixed tier.
| Added working layer | What the proposal includes |
|---|---|
| Stakeholder workshop | A website positioning and messaging workshop with the firm's named participants, followed by a written positioning brief approved before design starts. |
| Copy and content planning | A page-by-page message map and full first-draft copy for every page named in the proposal, with the internal and external review path defined before design starts. |
| Content inventory and migration | A documented inventory and migration plan for the pages, articles, documents, and redirects named in the proposal, plus migration of that agreed content. |
| Review workflow | Named internal and external reviewers, review windows, and consolidated feedback rounds written into the proposal. |
| Launch coordination | A launch plan coordinated with the people who control the firm's domain, email, CRM, scheduling, and other scoped accounts. |
| Working schedule | These engagements are planned around a 6 to 8 week working schedule, with milestones set in the proposal. Final timing depends on the firm's content, feedback, review, and approvals. |
| Defect coverage | TMN corrects defects in its own delivered website work reported within 90 days after launch at no added cost, subject to the signed project agreement. Content changes, new work, third-party service issues, and problems caused by client or third-party changes are outside this coverage. |
These added layers do not include naming, a brand identity program, photography or video production, paid media, or compliance approval. A standard WordPress project, including a routine content move and an ordinary CMS setup, fits the published tiers. Substantial inherited backend work, such as repairing a damaged WooCommerce installation or moving a large existing store, is assessed first and then included explicitly in the combined project quote. For a live example, see the DVRT Ultimate Sandbag Training storefront and WooCommerce integration. Monthly care is billed separately. New RIA engagements include managed hosting and care at $100/month from launch. General business care remains optional. Every scope is quoted in writing before anything is signed. Discuss a Custom Studio Build.
Plan for the whole assignment.
The website proposal names the work TMN will deliver, the work your team will provide, and any outside specialists needed before launch.
A brand identity program
Naming, logo design, and a full visual identity system are not part of the tier. TMN builds the site from the brand the firm has, or from the work of a brand designer the firm hires. If the existing mark is weak, TMN will say so and can suggest what a designer should deliver before the site starts.
Photography and video production
The build uses the firm's photography or licensed imagery chosen with the firm. A shoot with a photographer or a video crew is arranged and paid separately. TMN will brief the photographer on what the site needs.
Dozens of pages on a compressed timeline
A 2-person studio builds a small number of sites at a time. A 40-page site needed in 3 weeks is a job for a larger team, and TMN will decline it rather than promise it. A 6 to 12 page site done properly is the tier's home ground.
Paid media and ongoing marketing
Google Ads, social advertising, and email campaigns are not included. New RIA engagements include $100/month managed hosting and care from launch. General business care is optional from $50/month. Optional Managed Publishing Portal starts at $100/month, and AI Search Optimization from $350/month requires active care. These monthly services have separate written scopes.
Compliance approval
TMN prepares disclosure and disclaimer language for review and places the reviewer's returns exactly as written. TMN does not approve, certify, or file anything, and nothing on this site is legal advice. The firm's compliance consultant or counsel keeps that role.

| Situation | Fit | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| An RIA, wealth manager, or family office with an established brand and a dated or generic site | Strong | Full Site Rebuild or Custom Studio Build depending on page count and integrations. Positioning, architecture, copy with disclosure paths, hand-coded design, integrations, launch. The Hilpan Moxie build shows the RIA compliance path in practice. Parks Wealth Partners shows the separate path for a broker-dealer-affiliated advisor launching a new marketing name under Osaic Wealth. |
| A law firm, CPA firm, or architecture practice whose credentials outrun its website | Strong | Same engagement with practice-area and credential architecture. The Ramsay Law Firm and Ramon Design Group case studies show the shape. |
| A firm with several hundred million in AUM or 20+ staff that assumes its size rules out a 2-person studio | Scope usually decides | The assignment matters more than AUM or headcount alone. We review the page and content inventory, systems, stakeholders, and launch requirements. Naming and a full identity system need a brand specialist. A platform or multiple connected sites require a separate technical scope. |
| A firm planning a full rebrand with a new name and identity | Partial | TMN builds the site once the identity exists. The firm hires a brand designer for the identity, or asks TMN for a referral. Sequencing the two is discussed on the first call. |
| A firm that wants a website, full brand program, original photography, and ongoing campaign strategy from 1 vendor | Partial | TMN scopes the website separately and identifies which outside specialists are needed. If the firm wants every discipline managed under 1 engagement, TMN may recommend a larger team. |
| A very large content estate, multiple languages, multiple connected sites, or a custom web application | Separate assessment | A Custom Studio Build can include a larger documented migration when the content inventory is defined in the proposal. Very large content estates and the other requirements in this row need a separate assessment of migration volume, translation ownership, data, integrations, security, maintenance, and delivery capacity before TMN offers a proposal. Website and operations-platform work is scoped separately. If capacity or specialist requirements call for a larger team, we say so before accepting the project. |
| A solo advisor or small practice that mainly needs a credible homepage | Different tier | The Essential Website from $2,250 is the honest recommendation, with a free homepage preview in 48 hours before committing. A Full Site Rebuild from $3,750 covers a small practice that needs every page redone. |
Every engagement starts with a 15-minute call and a written proposal that names scope, timeline, and price. Nothing is billed before the proposal is signed.

What buyers ask about the top tier.
What does a Custom Studio Build cost?
A Custom Studio Build starts at $5,000. Every scope, including a site with dozens of pages or several integrations, is quoted in writing before anything is signed. The separate Full Site Rebuild starts at $3,750, and the Essential Website starts at $2,250 for a focused new site or modern refresh.
How does TMN keep the engagement focused at this price?
The engagement is deliberately scoped around the website and handled by the 2 founders. The price covers the agreed strategy, architecture, copy, design, development, integrations, review rounds, and launch. It does not include a brand identity program, naming, photography or video production, paid media, or an ongoing strategy retainer. The exact deliverables and exclusions are written into the proposal before signing.
Is the engagement deep enough for a registered investment adviser or a multi-partner law firm?
For the website, yes. A Custom Studio Build includes discovery on positioning and client segments, page architecture, full copy prepared for the firm's review, disclosure and disclaimer paths for regulated firms, hand-coded design, integrations for scheduling and lead capture, structured data, and launch. For an RIA, the compliance reviewer's returns go into the build word for word, as documented on the Hilpan Moxie Wealth Management case study. Parks Wealth Partners is the separate broker-dealer-affiliated example: every page was exported to PDF, the site was resubmitted after changes, and publication waited for the broker-dealer's advertising review. Where TMN stops is a full rebrand: if the firm needs a new name and identity system, TMN builds the site and works from the brand a designer or the firm supplies.
How long does a Custom Studio Build take?
A Custom Studio Build first review typically targets 7 to 10 days after kickoff, and a Full Site Rebuild first draft typically targets 72 hours. Launch timing depends on content, integrations, compliance review, and approvals, and is confirmed in the project agreement. Revisions go straight to the founder who built the page and are usually turned the same day or the next. For regulated firms, the compliance review cycle is the usual long pole, so the disclosure paths are prepared early rather than at the end.
Who owns the website when it is finished?
After full payment, the client receives the website files and project assets TMN created specifically for the project, subject to the signed agreement. Third-party software, services, fonts, stock assets, and other licensed materials remain under their providers' terms. There is no proprietary CMS the firm has to keep paying to keep the site live. General business care is optional from $50/month. New RIA engagements include managed hosting and care at $100/month from launch, billed separately from the build. The optional Managed Publishing Portal starts at $100/month. Care is month to month with a handoff of paid project files if you later leave.
Does a firm's AUM or headcount change whether the Custom Studio Build fits?
Not by itself. We assess page count, copy, content migration, integrations, stakeholder review, and the launch schedule. An established RIA with a usable name and identity can be a good fit for a Custom Studio Build. Naming, identity design, and original photography need their own specialists. Platforms and multiple connected sites require separate technical scoping. Those responsibilities are agreed before a proposal is signed.
Can we see a comparable build before we commit?
Yes. The Hilpan Moxie Wealth Management case study documents an SEC-registered RIA build from first inquiry to launch, with the compliance review path and the client's dated comments. The Parks Wealth Partners case study documents a breakaway advisor's broker-dealer advertising review before launch. The Ramsay Law Firm case study includes a step-by-step verification chain a buyer can run on the live site. Each of the 7 live builds above credits TMN in the client's own footer, and the verification center lists every credited site. If the firm wants to see the direction before signing, TMN produces a free homepage preview in 48 hours.
What if the project needs more working room than a standard Custom Studio Build?
Projects that need a larger content inventory, multiple stakeholders, deeper copy, and a longer review process add working layers to the Custom Studio Build. These are quoted per scope in the written proposal rather than priced from a fixed tier, and they can add a website positioning and messaging workshop, a written positioning brief, a page-by-page message map, full first-draft copy for every page named in the proposal, migration of the agreed pages, articles, documents, and redirects, a defined internal and external review workflow, and launch coordination. It is planned around a 6 to 8 week working schedule, with milestones set in the proposal. Final timing depends on the firm's content, feedback, review, and approvals. TMN corrects defects in its own delivered website work reported within 90 days after launch at no added cost, subject to the signed project agreement. Content changes, new work, third-party service issues, and problems caused by client or third-party changes are outside this coverage. Monthly care is billed separately. New RIA engagements include managed hosting and care at $100/month from launch. General business care remains optional. Most solo advisors and focused rebuilds still fit the Essential Website or Full Site Rebuild.
