Three engines, each built for a different stage of business. Every build is scoped after a consultation and quoted to match your goals, complexity, and timeline.
Every build includes a proprietary admin dashboard: emails, automation, analytics, SEO, inbox, and user management.
We score speed, SEO, conversion flow, and backlink readiness, then project what changes when your stack is rebuilt as a custom growth engine.
What You Get
This is the baseline across Engine8 packages: a proprietary dashboard system that helps run your brand, not just display it.
Lower-tier note: for most basic builds, email is outbound/send-only by default. Inbound receiving and advanced mailbox workflows are optional upgrades.
Higher-tier engines include technical modules that vary project to project based on requirements, integrations, and custom logic depth.
Every scoped project follows the same milestone structure — no hourly billing, no surprise invoices.
Locks the project into the schedule and starts planning, design, and build work.
Paid once the approved scope is built and ready for final refinement before launch.
Final payment tied to deployment, handoff, and launch support — not vague “completion” language.
Quotes stay valid 14–30 days. If scope grows after approval, the project moves into a change order instead of silently absorbing extra work.
Pick the engine that matches where your business is right now.
Brand Engine
Commerce Engine
Platform Engine
A web engine is not just pages. It is your front-end experience plus a custom-built backend operations system. Every Engine8 build includes a proprietary admin dashboard foundation with tabs for emails, automation, analytics, SEO, inbox, and user management so your brand can operate and scale from one place.
If you're a service business that needs leads, calls, or bookings — Brand Engine. If you sell products and need a storefront with checkout — Commerce Engine. If you need dashboards, portals, or multi-user tools — Platform Engine. Not sure? Start a project and we'll scope it together.
Every build includes a custom admin dashboard foundation with emails, automation, analytics, SEO tools, inbox workflows, user management, and project/client operations. For simpler builds, email is usually outbound/send-only by default. Inbound/reply handling can be added when needed.
Every project is unique. After a consultation, I scope the full build based on your goals, complexity, and timeline — then deliver a clear, fixed quote with milestone-based payments. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices.
Template builders focus on visual editing. Engine8 builds business growth engines with full system control, cleaner performance, proprietary operations tooling, and no vendor lock-in. You own the code, infrastructure, and workflows.
It happens, and it's handled cleanly. Scope changes go through an updated quote or change order so the plan, timeline, and cost stay clear for both sides.
Yes — every line of code, every deployment credential, every piece of documentation. Full handoff, no vendor lock-in, no monthly platform fees. It's your infrastructure.
