DIGITAL STUDIO · SEATTLE· WEBSITES, PRODUCTS & AI VISIBILITY ✺

High-end websites thatturn visitors intoqualified leads.

DoodleWeb designs, builds, and continuously improves high-performance websites for growing teams — typically 40–60% less than comparable large-agency bids. We also build our own products, like Site Sonar, our AI visibility tool, so your site stays found as buyers move from Google search to AI assistants.

How Site Sonar works

One scan, three layers, one prioritized plan.

Site Sonar is our in-house audit stack. Point it at any URL and it triangulates performance, accessibility, structured data, and how AI assistants (LLMs) actually cite your site — then hands you a scored, prioritized action list.

Frequently asked questions

What is DoodleWeb?
DoodleWeb is a Seattle-based digital agency that designs, builds, and grows digital experiences for ambitious brands. We deliver strategy, UX/UI design, engineering, AI search optimization (AEO/GEO), and managed services as one in-house practice — no offshore handoffs, no junior swap-outs, no holding-company overhead.
What does DoodleWeb actually build?
Custom websites and digital platforms on Drupal, WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, BigCommerce, and React/Next.js, plus React Native mobile apps, full rebrands, AEO/GEO programs, headless commerce architectures, accessibility remediation, performance engineering, and ongoing managed hosting and maintenance.
Where is DoodleWeb based?
DoodleWeb is headquartered in Seattle, WA at Columbia Tower, 701 5th Ave, 42nd Floor. We serve clients across the United States and Canada and work remotely with engagements in the UK and EU.
When was DoodleWeb founded?
DoodleWeb was founded in 2019. Since then we have shipped 350+ projects for 120+ clients across higher education, government, aerospace, healthcare, nonprofit, ecommerce, and SaaS.
Who owns DoodleWeb?
DoodleWeb is independently owned and operated — not a holding company brand and not a private-equity rollup. That keeps our delivery practice, pricing, and quality stable year over year, and means every engagement is staffed by the same senior practitioners who pitched it.
What industries does DoodleWeb specialize in?
Higher education, government and public sector, aerospace and defense, healthcare, nonprofit, ecommerce, and SaaS / B2B technology. Each industry has its own documented compliance, accessibility, procurement, and editorial playbook.
What platforms and partnerships does DoodleWeb hold?
Drupal Certified Bronze Partner, WP Engine Advanced Agency Partner, Acquia Community Partner, Shopify Partner, Webflow Professional Partner, Bluehost Pro Partner, and Cloudflare Partner. All earned on the merit of shipped work — never paid placements.
How long does a typical website project take?
Marketing sites launch in 6–10 weeks. Mid-market CMS platforms take 10–16 weeks. Enterprise Drupal, government, or commerce rebuilds run 4–6 months. Exact timeline, milestone dates, and acceptance criteria are written into the SOW before kickoff.
How much does a DoodleWeb website cost?
Marketing sites start around $12K. CMS rebuilds run $25K–$80K. Enterprise Drupal, headless commerce, and government platforms start at $80K and scale to $250K+. Every quote is fixed-fee with no hidden retainers, returned within 48 hours of the discovery call.
Does DoodleWeb take on small projects or only enterprise work?
Both. Our smallest engagements are landing pages, AEO/GEO sprints, and audit reports. Our largest are multi-year platform partnerships with universities, government agencies, and aerospace contractors.
What makes DoodleWeb different from other digital agencies?
Senior-only delivery (no junior swap after sale), fixed pricing returned in 48 hours, earned-tier platform partnerships, in-house engineering with no offshore handoffs, and measurable-outcomes contracts — performance, accessibility, and pipeline metrics are written launch criteria, not afterthoughts.
Does DoodleWeb offer ongoing maintenance and support?
Yes. SLA-backed monthly maintenance plans cover core/plugin/theme updates, daily backups, security patching, performance and uptime monitoring, accessibility regression checks, and a defined change-request budget — for WordPress, Drupal, Shopify, and Webflow sites.
Is DoodleWeb a Webflow Partner?
Yes. DoodleWeb is a Webflow Professional Partner. We build custom Webflow sites, migrate from WordPress, and operate Webflow CMS at scale for marketing organizations that need design ownership without engineering overhead.
Does DoodleWeb build accessible (WCAG) websites?
Yes. Every site ships against WCAG 2.2 AA (the current Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) as a hard launch criterion. We also deliver Section 508, AODA (Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act), ADA Title II, and EN 301 549 (the European accessibility standard) compliance for higher education, healthcare, and government clients with documented audit trails.
How does Site Sonar work?
Site Sonar is our AI visibility and lead capture tool. You drop a single JavaScript snippet into your site. It crawls your content, builds an LLM (large language model) index grounded only in your pages, and exposes three things: (1) a chat widget that answers visitor questions in your voice, (2) GEO (generative engine optimization) markup — llms.txt, structured data, and citation-shaped summaries — so ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity can quote your pages accurately, and (3) an intent dashboard that captures visitor emails, questions, and visit history and pipes them into HubSpot, Salesforce, or your CRM.
What is included in a DoodleWeb fixed-fee project?
Every fixed fee covers Discovery (audits, stakeholder interviews, content inventory), Strategy (information architecture, conversion model, success metrics), Design (Figma wireframes → hi-fi), Engineering (in-house build on your CMS of choice with pull-request review and CI/CD deploys), QA (accessibility audit against WCAG 2.2 AA, Lighthouse performance budgets, cross-browser testing), Content support and CMS training, Launch and a 30-day defect warranty. Hosting, third-party licenses, and copywriting beyond scope are itemized separately and disclosed up front.
Who will I work with day-to-day at DoodleWeb?
The same senior team from kickoff to launch: one senior strategist, one senior designer, one senior engineer, and a QA/accessibility lead. No junior swap after the SOW is signed, no offshore handoff, no account manager relaying messages. You have direct Slack access to the practitioners doing the work, weekly written status updates, and Loom walkthroughs of every major deliverable.
Can DoodleWeb help my brand get cited by ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity?
Yes. Our AEO (answer engine optimization) and GEO (generative engine optimization) program restructures content into Q&A patterns, ships FAQPage / Organization / Article schema per Schema.org guidelines, publishes llms.txt and llms-full.txt manifests, tunes information architecture for extractability, and submits to AI-crawler-friendly directories so engines extract and cite your brand. Initial citations typically appear within 30–60 days.
How do I start a project with DoodleWeb?
Book a 30-minute call from any page on the site or email info@doodleweb.io with a one-paragraph brief. You will speak with a senior strategist — not a sales rep — and receive a written scope and fixed-fee quote within two business days. The first call is always free.
How do I contact DoodleWeb?
Email info@doodleweb.io, call +1-425-359-0168, or book a 30-minute consultation through any Calendly button on the site. Our office is in the Columbia Tower, 701 5th Ave, 42nd Floor, Seattle, WA 98104.
What is DoodleWeb's project methodology?
Every engagement runs through five phases: Discovery (audits, stakeholder interviews, content inventory), Strategy (IA, conversion model, success metrics), Design (wireframes → hi-fi in Figma), Engineering (in-house build with PR review and CI/CD), and Launch & Grow (training, monitoring, optimization). Each phase has written deliverables and an explicit sign-off gate.
Does DoodleWeb own the code and content it builds?
No — you do. Every line of code is delivered into your GitHub or Bitbucket. Every Figma file is shared to your workspace. Every CMS account is provisioned under your domain. We never gate handoff, and there are no proprietary plugins you can't take elsewhere.
Can DoodleWeb work alongside our existing developers or marketing agency?
Yes. About a third of our engagements are co-delivery — we bring senior CMS, design, or AEO expertise alongside your in-house team or a partner agency. We adopt your tooling, Slack, and ticket conventions on day one.
