We build sites the way they are supposed to be built — original code, no page builders, no off-the-shelf themes that break in six months. Then we host them on the same engineering stack the federal side runs on. Every site is scanned for credential leaks, tuned for PageSpeed, optimized for traditional search, and structurally citable by the AI answer engines that are starting to replace it. Six pillars. One service line. Veteran owned.
Most web designers use a theme to build your website — something thousands of other companies are also running. It is not original. It is not custom. Yours looks like everyone else's because underneath, it is everyone else's.
We build every site from the ground up — your code, your design, your audience, your conversions. No template. No plugin selling your data. No starter kit with your logo on top.
That is the difference between a website you rent and a website you own. Every line of code we write belongs to you. Every design decision is made for your customer, not pulled from a marketplace. When the engagement ends, you walk away with a real asset — source code, documentation, no vendor lock — not a subscription to someone else's platform.
If two other companies have the same site as you, you didn't get a website. You got a costume.
Every engagement starts with a written statement of work. Deliverables are defined up front. Acceptance criteria are clear. Handoff includes documentation, credentials, source code, and a maintenance plan.
Clients know exactly what they are getting and when they are getting it. No scope creep. No surprise invoices. No mystery code that only the original developer can maintain.
Web design is delivered through the sparked.Solutions service line. Veteran owned. West Virginia headquartered. Pursuing SDVOSBService-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small BusinessFederal certification under FAR 19.14.Click for the official source → certification. Federal, state, local, nonprofit, and commercial customers welcome.
We do not list anonymous testimonials. The sites we build are real engagements across federal, faith, hospitality, mental health, ecommerce, construction, editorial, civic, and nonprofit verticals — and the engineering decisions made on each one are decisions you can verify yourself by visiting them.
Public sites link straight through. Private walkthroughs (gated demos shipped on our infrastructure) are available on request — credentials provided once we connect.
Every build is scoped to what you actually need — pages, complexity, AI integration, hosting tier. Tell us what you want built and we will come back with a real number.
We typically come in 30 to 50 percent under what a comparable agency would quote for the same scope, because we own our stack end-to-end and do not pay vendor fees. The comparison is honest — we will show you the apples-to-apples math on request.
No price list. No package menu. Start an inquiry, we will scope it, you will get a real number.
Speed and security are usually treated as separate concerns. They are not. A slow site bleeds users; a leaking codebase bleeds credentials. We engineer both into every build.
Speed is delivered through cache management, lazy-loaded media, optimized image pipelines, mobile-first CSS, and a deploy-time PageSpeed audit that has to clear thresholds before acceptance. The 850 Committee build scores a perfect 100 / 100 / 100 / 100 across performance / accessibility / best-practices / SEO on the current Lighthouse desktop audit. Federal officers can independently verify those scores at pagespeed.web.dev.
Security is delivered through SOVEREIGN III — the credential and code-protection scanner that scores F1 0.9915 on the Samsung CredData benchmark, world #1 against published academic and commercial competitors. Every codebase we host is continuously scanned. Every finding is traceable to its origin. Every remediation is signed by a named human authority.

Search visibility is two disciplines now. SEO ranks you on Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo. AEO — Answer Engine Optimization — gets you cited by ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. Most agencies still only know the first one.
SEO is delivered automatically through the Sparked SEO Maximizer module: schema.org structured data, dynamic sitemap, OG and Twitter Card metadata, canonical URLs, internal linking, alt-text discipline, robots.txt management, and broken-link detection. One-button maximize at deploy time.
AEO is structural, not bolt-on. AI answer engines look for content that is fast, semantically clean, citation-friendly, and verifiable. Sparked-built sites deliver all four by default:
llms.txt directives that tell AI crawlers what to citeTranslation: when a customer asks ChatGPT about your industry, your site is the one that gets quoted.
The plugin stack we use to run client sites is a real product line. The same controller runs across every Sparked-built site, every domain-specific extension is open to license, and the per-site modules are deployable on any WordPress install — ours or someone else's.
Sparked Site Manager v2 is the core controller. Seventeen modules covering content, theme files, cache, settings, menus, plugins, diagnostics, security, SEO, MCP server, monitor, backup, analytics, forms, CDN modules, and access requests. REST API + MCP protocol. Manageable from Claude.ai chat through a single token. Currently in production on this site, on tolerancecontinuum.com, and on 850committee.org.
Domain-specific plugins extend the controller for vertical clients: tc-site-manager for the Tolerance Continuum content platform, 850-site-manager for the 850 Committee veteran services portal. New verticals get new modules; the platform stays one codebase.
Per-site modules deploy as needed: sparked-chat, sparked-edit, sparked-monitor, sparked-flash, sparked-quickpost. Each one a focused capability you can drop into any WordPress install.
Available for licensing to other agencies, federal contractors, and small businesses. Reach out under NDA.
