Half a second. That's all you get.

That's how long a stranger spends on your website before deciding whether your business is credible — without reading a single word.

See the work Start a project

It won’t slow down for you. Neither will your customers.

Services

A template site saves money on the invoice, and pays it back in visitors who never call. A large agency bills the meetings as well as the site, and takes a quarter to ship it. Halfsecond sits between the two: a studio’s craft, in 2 to 3 weeks.

Every quote is fixed before we start. No day rates. No surprise invoices.

Process

Close contact, on WhatsApp. You approve the design before we build it, and pay the balance when it’s finished.

  1. 01

    We talk.

    On WhatsApp, directly with the two people who will make your site. Your business, your customers, what the site has to do. If we aren’t the right fit, we say so.

  2. 02

    A fixed quote. A deposit.

    Scope, price and dates in a short written agreement. A deposit books your slot in the studio. After that, the price doesn’t move.

  3. 03

    We design.

    The look, the words and the motion of your site, on your real content. Not a mood board: the pages as they will be.

  4. 04

    You review.

    You see it on a private link and tell us what to change, on WhatsApp, as you go. Nothing is built until you’ve approved the design.

  5. 05

    We build.

    The whole site: mobile to desktop, fast, forms, analytics, search set-up. Tested on real devices before you see the finished version.

  6. 06

    You pay the balance. You own it.

    You check the finished site and pay the balance. It goes live on your domain, and the domain, accounts and files are handed over to you, documented. Stay for the partnership, or take it: any competent developer can pick up where we left off.

Claiming a site from the collection skips the design from zero: we adapt it to your brand at step 03, and it’s live in 2 to 3 weeks.

Studio

Two people. That’s the model.

When you write to Halfsecond, the people who answer are the people who design, write and build. No account layer. No hand-offs. Four hands. One standard.

Small is not a phase.It’s how the work stays this sharp.

Proof, so far.

We’re a new studio: no borrowed logos, no invented quotes. When our first clients have something to say, their words go here.

Until then, judge the workRead how we think

Your next customer is half a second away from an opinion. Let’s decide what it will be.
