Website Design & UX · Colorado Springs
A website that works like your best salesperson.
Overview
We design and build websites from scratch, rebuild the ones that underperform, and audit the ones you're not sure about. Every project starts by seeing your site the way a demanding customer would. What you get is clear, fast, secure, and yours.

The Website Dilemma
The pressure
Your website is the first place people look, but it no longer says who you really are.
The confusion
Every platform, template, and agency promises results. Nobody tells you what you actually need, what to fix first, or how to measure success.
The risk
A redesign that looks better and converts worse. A site that's slow on a phone, or invisible to search engines and AI assistants. A vendor who built everything and left with the logins. For nonprofits, a board asking why it cost that much.
The solution
You don't need a prettier website. You need a clearer one, built by someone who tells you what to fix first and hands you the keys.
Beautiful and effective are not opposites.
Most web work picks a side. Some agencies design without ever measuring. Some optimizers test everything and leave the result cold. We think both are mistakes. A site that's clear, fast, and well made earns trust, and trust is what turns a visitor into a call, a donation, or a customer.
We work across design, UX, copy, analytics, SEO, email, and security hygiene, so the pieces fit together instead of working at cross purposes. And we're platform-agnostic: we choose the stack by what you need (who edits it, your budget, performance, and who will maintain it), not by what we happen to sell.
PROCESS
How we work: Audit, Design, Launch
Audit and discovery
1-2 weeks
We look at how your site and your customers actually behave: goals, audience, content, analytics, speed, and the places visitors get stuck. For a new build we do the same with your current presence and competitors. You get a clear picture of what's working, what isn't, and what to do first.
Design and decide
2-4 weeks
We settle your message, page structure, and visual direction, then choose the platform that fits. We explain each trade-off in plain English, and we'll tell you honestly when a simpler option beats a custom build.
Build and launch
3-6 weeks
We build, test for speed, accessibility, and security, preserve your search rankings with proper redirects, and launch. Then we stay close for the first month to catch what real visitors find.
Every project ends with you owning the domain and content, and a short handoff document so anyone can maintain it.

CoreyWellspring UMCAnthony is a rare kind of strategist. He listens first. He takes the time to understand what you’re actually trying to accomplish. Then he takes the complicated thoughts you bring him and turns them into a clear, useful understanding of who your company is and what it’s about. What sets Mast Strategy apart is that the work is meant to be used. This isn’t a document that goes in a drawer and never gets seen again. It’s something you can put to work right away. If you need clarity on your company’s identity and direction, and you want something you’ll actually use, I’d recommend Anthony without hesitation.
ToddTrellis AdvisingStandard on every project
Built in, not bolted on
Fast
We set a performance budget, optimize images and fonts, and check Core Web Vitals before launch, because a slow site loses visitors before they read a word.
Findable
Clean structure, strong titles and descriptions, structured data, and pages that search engines and AI assistants can read. On rebuilds we preserve your rankings with proper redirects.
Accessible
We build toward WCAG 2.2 AA and test with a keyboard and a screen reader, so more people can use your site, including the ones who can't use a mouse.
Secure by default
HTTPS, security headers, least-privilege logins, backups, form and spam protection, regular updates, email authentication so your messages reach inboxes, and platform-specific security measures for tools like WordPress.
We're not a certified penetration-testing firm. If you need a formal security assessment or compliance work, we'll refer you to someone who is.
Strategy-driven
A good website serves your strategy and carries your content. Most get built backwards: the design comes first, and your message gets squeezed to fit it.
We work in the right order. Strategy first, then content, then design, so the site is shaped around what you need to say and who you need to reach.
Measurable
We set up analytics around the goals that matter to you (a call, a donation, a signup) and capture a baseline before launch.
You'll know what's working, and we won't claim a lift we can't show.
Our commitments
What you can count on.
- You own your site. Your domain, content, design files, and data belong to you, and your accounts are in your name. If we host or manage something for you, we'll say so in writing and hand it over whenever you ask.
- No lock-in. A short handoff document means you can leave with your site any time.
- Plain English. Reports end in recommendations, not jargon.
- Honest scope. If a smaller project or a cheaper tool solves it, we'll say so.
- Fair care-plan terms. Month-to-month with 30 days' notice.
What we won't do.
- Sell you a redesign you don't need.
- Hold your domain or accounts hostage.
- Launch without a speed, accessibility, and security check.
- Promise rankings or conversion lifts we can't control.
- Run A/B tests your traffic can't support.
Who we work with
For good people doing good work.
Nonprofits doing more with less
Your site has to tell your story, make giving easy, and be simple for a small team to maintain, all on a tight budget. We build sites that staff and volunteers can actually update, with clear donor paths, accessibility built in, and no surprise logins or lock-in, so your board can see where the money went.
Colorado Springs businesses that want a real partner
You want someone local who understands your business, not a faceless agency or another software login. We're based in Colorado Springs and work with owners in person, from the first audit to launch day.
Values-driven businesses, anywhere in the U.S.
You've built a business that takes care of its customers and its people, and you want a website that says so. We work remotely with owners across the country who see their website as a way to serve people better.
FAQ
Everything you need to know before starting
What does a website cost?
It depends on scope. Our core services have fixed starting prices so you can plan a budget: the Website & UX Audit starts at $2,900, Website Design & Build at $9,000, Landing Pages & Campaign Sites at $2,500, and Site Care & Optimization at $750 per month. Larger projects are quoted after a scoping call. Nonprofit pricing is available on every service.
Why do you cost more than a template site?
A template site can be the right choice, and we'll say so if it is. Our projects start with your message and how your visitors actually behave, so you're paying for judgment and clarity, not just pages. You also own everything we build.
Which platform do you build on?
Whichever fits you. We weigh who will edit the site, your budget, performance, integrations, and long-term upkeep, then explain the trade-offs in plain English. We aren't tied to one platform, and you own the result whichever we choose.
Who owns the site, domain, and accounts?
You do, from day one. Your domain, logins, and as many accounts as possible are in your name. And we leave a handoff document so anyone can maintain the site. We try to make it easy for you to take over all your systems so you never feel trapped. Anything we host or maintain for you can be transferred to your control at your request.
Will a redesign hurt my search rankings?
Not when it's done carefully. We keep your valuable content, map every old page to a new one with redirects, and check your rankings and traffic before and after launch.
Which tools do you work with?
Whatever you use. We're platform-agnostic, and we'll recommend changes only when they would help.
Do you do A/B testing?
Yes, where your traffic can support it. Most small sites don't get enough visitors for a statistically valid test, and a bad test is worse than none. In that case we focus on fixing the clear problems first and tell you plainly.
Do you fix what you find?
The report gives you a prioritized list your team can follow. If you want us to make the fixes, we'll quote that separately and credit the project fee.
Is my website secure?
We build secure by default: HTTPS, security headers, least-privilege access, backups, updates, and email authentication. We're not a certified penetration-testing firm, so for formal assessments or compliance work we'll refer you to specialists.
Do you build apps?
Usually you don't need one. Off-the-shelf tools cover most needs and cost far less to maintain. If a custom app really is the best fit, we'll scope it with you and give you an honest recommendation either way.
Do you offer nonprofit pricing?
Yes. Nonprofit pricing is available; ask when you book.
Do you work with organizations outside Colorado Springs?
Yes. We work with owners and organizations nationwide by video, and we're glad to travel for workshops.
