Most local businesses have a website that holds them back.

The businesses we work with are excellent at what they do, but stuck with a site that doesn't show it. Usually it's one of these:

  • Looks dated

    Cluttered or stuck in 2012, nothing like the quality of your actual work.

  • Hard on a phone

    Tiny text, broken layout. That's where most people will find you first.

  • Never gets fixed

    Slow, or a pain to update, so the problems just sit there for years.

We focus on established local service businesses in Orange County, especially CPAs and accounting firms, who are great at what they do but haven't had time for the website.

How it works

Three steps. You see the work before you spend anything.

  1. 1

    See a free preview

    We build a real, modernized preview of your site at no cost and no commitment. You see exactly what we'd build before paying anything.

  2. 2

    We build it

    If you like it, we build the full site: clean, fast, mobile-first, and written in plain language. One upfront build.

  3. 3

    We keep it running

    A simple monthly care plan keeps it updated, secure, and fast. You run your business and we handle the site.

Why us

We're a small studio. Here's what that means for you.

Local and accountable

We're in Orange County. You talk directly to the people who build your site, not a ticket queue.

Fast, without cutting corners

We move quickly, and we check every detail before it goes live.

Plain language

We explain what we're doing in words that make sense, and we're clear about what things cost.

Built to current standards

Fast, accessible, mobile-friendly, and easy to update, the way a modern site should be.

AurumFront is a new studio. The first preview is free because the easiest way to judge our work is to see it.

Questions, answered

If yours isn't here, just ask. We reply to every message.

What's the free preview, exactly?

We build a real, working preview of your modernized site, not a mockup or a slide deck. You see it live before you decide anything or sign anything. It's free, and there's no obligation to hire us.

How much does it cost?

There are two parts: a one-time fee to build the site, and an optional monthly care plan to keep it running. You pay a deposit to reserve your spot, with the balance due before the site goes live, and we give you a clear quote for the agreed work up front — no hidden fees. You also pay for your own hosting and domain directly (typically around $25 a month and $20 a year), so those accounts always stay in your name.

How long does a build take?

Most sites launch within about seven weeks. That clock starts once we have your deposit and your materials — text, photos, logo, services, hours — not at signing. You'll see a first design concept within about two weeks, so you get real progress early. If feedback or content comes back slowly, the timeline shifts to match.

What if I already have a website?

That's common. We modernize what's working and rebuild what isn't, and we handle the switch carefully — we follow a checklist built to keep your email and your current Google presence intact through the move, and we won't touch anything that affects them without checking with you first.

What if I want changes after it's live?

Every build includes two rounds of revisions before launch, and for 14 days after launch we fix any genuine bugs in our work at no charge. After that, ongoing tweaks are handled through your care plan, and larger changes like new pages or features are quoted before we start.

What's included in the monthly care plan?

The care plan keeps your site healthy: hosting administration, security and malware monitoring, software updates, regular backups, SSL, and uptime monitoring, plus a set amount of small edits each month like hours, staff, or services. A higher level adds seasonal content updates, a monthly contact-activity report, and more content time. It's monitoring and upkeep, not a guarantee of perfect uptime, it's optional, and you can cancel anytime with 30 days' notice. We spell out exactly what's covered before you start.

Who owns the website and domain?

You do. Your domain and hosting are registered in your name and paid by you directly, so your site stays online even if we ever part ways. Once the build is paid in full, the custom design and content we make for you are yours. (Third-party pieces like the site platform, themes, and fonts stay under their own licenses, as they do for any website.) If we ever stop working together, we hand over a full export of your site within 14 days.

Do you only work with accountants?

Accounting firms are our focus right now, since one of us is a CPA and knows the field from the inside. But we work with other established local service businesses in Orange County too — just ask.
