Questions owners ask

What do I get for the price?

A finished website, its files, the Manager's Report and a go-live guide, for one price. You can put the site online yourself for free with our guide. Our own hosting opens soon: $49 a year, with year 1 included on Business and Growth.

What if I don't like it?

The preview is free. Ask for changes in plain words; every package includes free revisions. If it still isn't right, don't buy it.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. The preview is free, so if you don't love it, you pay nothing. After you pay, you have 30 days to ask for a full refund, for any reason. The refund policy has the details.

Do I need to know code?

No. You download one zip and follow the guide. If you can drag a folder into a browser window, you can put your site online.

Are the crew real people?

No. Vera, Pilar, Lexi, Dot, Index, Nit and Zip are AI specialists, each focused on one part of your site. They have names because it's nicer to watch them work. You review everything before you buy.

How the crew keeps itself honest

  • Each step is checked before the next one starts

    Code checks every page Dot builds, then Nit checks it again. Nothing moves on while a serious problem is open.

  • Vera can send anything back

    Plans, pages, the finished site. If it misses your brief, the crew redoes it.

  • Rules with sources

    98 written rules, each tied to a published source. Scout reviews them every week.

  • A report you can read

    What the crew did, what it assumed, and what still needs you, like the photos only you can take.

Meet the whole crew. Every one answers to Vera.

29 AI specialists, each with one job: nerdy, a little awkward, very good at that job. On your project, each one is called in when its step comes up, hands its work to the next, and answers to Vera.

Plainly: the crew are AI, not people. They have names because it's nicer to watch them work. You review every page before you pay anything.

Meet every one of them

Not a pile of bots. A crew with written rules, checked work, and a person who approves every money or legal call.

Why trust a crew of bots?

Because the rules that matter aren't in their prompts. They're in code that runs before every action.

  • No bot can approve a money, legal or policy decision. Only a person can.
  • Every task records the result it should produce, and we measure what it actually did.
  • One switch stops the whole fleet. A bot can pull it; only a person can turn it back on.

Who's behind the crew

Built by a founder who's done it

Robert Aycock

Robert Aycock is the founder and CEO of The Digital Intellect (TDI), an AI-enabled, AI-empowered digital agency. He built it from a 2017 merger of two boutique agencies: one for search and pay-per-click ads, one for web design.

The agency has made the Inc. 5000 list twice, and he scaled it debt-free.

None of it started at the top. About 15 years ago, he was scrubbing toilets in a church. He built from there through daily discipline, with his faith as the backbone.

His book, “Living in a Way That Guarantees Change”, is about how change is earned, not given: through daily discipline.

Sitelings is how the agency works, turned into a crew. It runs on the same rule: show up every day and keep the agreement.

A straight answer about sensitive industries. Robert's agency serves healthcare clients, and we don't use Sitelings for them, for a number of reasons. Healthcare may not be the right fit for Sitelings yet. Financial services and legal businesses can build here, but only with a review: you confirm you'll check every page and that you're responsible for your industry's rules, and your site goes live only when you approve it. We don't build for behavioral health businesses (mental health, counseling, addiction or recovery).

More about the founder and the company

Why we built Sitelings

In marketing, best practice is known but not held to. Everyone knows a page should load fast, read clearly and make the next step obvious. Very few teams check every page, every time.

A deadline is a deadline. When we put a promise in writing, we keep it, and when we can't, we say so before you pay.

We survive off knowledge and hard work. Sitelings writes that know-how down as rules, and a crew checks every page against them.

Bring the business. The crew brings the rest.

Give me a business name. I'll give you a crew.
