We build the web work other agencies outsource.
Horizontal Impact designs, engineers, and ships websites, platforms, and accessibility programs for teams who need it done right the first time. One studio, start to launch — you talk to the people writing the code.
Four things we do, done completely.
Not a menu of deliverables — four engagements that end with something live, measured, and handed over. Fixed-scope work carries a fixed price; open-ended work carries a floor. Either way you can qualify us before you book a call.
Accessibility audits & remediation
WCAG 2.2 AA audits run on AccessKnight — our own scanner, not a reseller licence — then the engineering to fix what we find. Most vendors stop at the report.

Website & platform builds
Next.js and headless WordPress builds that load fast, rank, and convert. A fixed-scope launch site, a custom build, or a full platform — same hands either way.
See the engagement
Local search & lead capture
Google Business Profile, citations, and the speed-to-lead plumbing that turns a nearby search into a booked call. Built for businesses that win within ten miles.

SEO & AI-search visibility
Technical SEO, schema architecture, and the GEO work that gets you cited by ChatGPT and Perplexity — not just ranked on page one of a shrinking channel.
See the engagementWe ship our own products. That's how we know how to ship yours.
The things that actually change your outcome.
Every studio says they care about quality. These are the four operating decisions that make the difference measurable — and the reasons clients renew instead of re-pitching.
One engineer, start to finish
The person who scopes your project writes the code and pushes the deploy. Nothing is relayed, nothing waits three days for someone else to reply.
Prices you can read before calling
Every number is on the pricing page. You should be able to rule us out in ten seconds rather than after a discovery call.
Accessibility is a gate, not an upsell
Every build ships WCAG 2.2 AA, audited on our own scanner before launch. It is in the price because it is part of the work.
You own it all at handover
Repository, hosting, domain, analytics, documentation — in your accounts from day one. No proprietary CMS and no licence to keep paying.
Six products. Same hands that build your project.
Most agencies have never shipped a product of their own. We run six — sold to other studios, agencies, and product teams. They're the reason we can promise what we promise.
Build it. Then let us run it.
Pick a build tier, then decide whether you want us to operate it afterward. Priced in USD. You own everything we make, on every tier, from day one.

Shipped, measured, still running.
Four projects that show the range — a product, two tools, and the studio's own platform. Each links to a full case study with the real numbers behind it.
Accessibility isn't a checkbox. It's the product.
AccessKnight is our own platform — 33 automated WCAG 2.2 checks plus 13 AI-readability checks — sold to other studios and used on every build we ship. Most vendors resell someone else's tool and read you the output.
- WCAG 2.2 AA audited before launch, on every build
- Findings come with the code-level fix, not a severity list
- Remediation quoted separately, because the size depends on what we find
Ten years of front-end, run as a studio.
Ten years of platform work — hundreds of dealership sites under manufacturer brand rules, then enterprise WordPress VIP replatforming publications with tens of thousands of posts without losing their rankings.
Both taught the same lesson: the constraint is never the interesting part of the work, but ignoring it is what kills projects. This studio exists to do that engineering for businesses that can't hire a team.
How a project actually runsReady to build something that lasts?
A sentence or two is enough to start. If we're not the right studio for it, we'll say so and point you somewhere better — usually the same day.
