# Zircon Studio — Full Content > Multi-disciplinary digital studio building engineered web systems. HQ Missouri, USA. Servers in Texas. Partnered with Thrive Social. Clients see 2–5x more visits, conversions, and sales. Last updated: 2026-04-27 --- ## Identity **Name:** Zircon Studio **URL:** https://zircon.studio **Location:** Missouri, USA (HQ) · Texas (servers/infrastructure) **Time zone:** America/Chicago (CT) **Founded:** 2026 **Hours:** Monday – Friday, business hours **Response time:** Under 24 business hours **Contact:** hello@zircon.studio **One-line description:** Engineered websites, templates, SEO, ads, and brand systems for U.S. businesses. Built to be measured, not admired. Clients see 2–5x more visits, conversions, and sales. **Brand voice:** Direct, technical, honest. We avoid sales theater, marketing platitudes, and vapor metrics. We tell prospects when we're not the right fit. Our website itself is the proof of work — the live status bar shows real build hash, TTFB, and Lighthouse score in real time. --- ## Core philosophy 1. **Craft over churn.** We build fewer projects, better. Every site is hand-tuned. No page-builder shortcuts. No bloated plugins that break in six months. 2. **Full-stack in one shop.** Design, code, content, SEO, ads, hosting — one team, one accountable partner. No finger-pointing between vendors when something breaks. 3. **Move fast. Don't cut corners.** Template projects launch in days. Custom builds ship in weeks, not months. Timelines we hit because we scope honestly up front. 4. **We own the outcome.** Results are measurable or they're opinions. Every engagement ties to a metric you care about — traffic, leads, revenue — reported monthly. Clients typically see 2–5x more visits, conversions, and sales within 90 days. --- ## Pricing — three separate lines A full quote always breaks into three pieces, priced separately: ### 1. Build (one-time fee) - **Starter Site** — $497 — Single polished landing or one-pager. Custom design, mobile-perfect, analytics + SEO baked in. Turnaround: 3–7 days. - **Standard Site** — $1,497 — 3–5 pages, custom design. Component-driven React / TypeScript builds. Strategy-first, analytics instrumented from day one. Turnaround: 2–4 weeks. - **Premium Site** — $3,497+ — Full custom builds when the build needs more than pages — Stripe checkout, client portals, custom logic, integrations. We've shipped this for hauling, aviation, NFL talent, and tech services. Turnaround: 4–8 weeks. - **Custom** — quoted to scope. $300 or $30,000 — every budget welcome. - **Prebuilt Templates** — from $297 — Hand-built template library. Swap content, ship. - **Site Optimization** — from $497 — Existing site? We make it faster, leaner, and ranked. Works with WordPress, Shopify, Squarespace, custom. ### 2. Hosting (required monthly — just hosting) Every site we build runs on our Texas-based dedicated infrastructure. Hosting is **required** with every project — we don't host on shared budget infrastructure, and we don't subcontract it. Includes: - Hosting on Texas servers - Free SSL (auto-renewed) - Daily off-site backups + restore on request - Edge caching, uptime monitoring - Security patches and OS-level updates **Hosting tiers**: - **$15/mo** — Starter sites - **$29/mo** — Standard sites - **$79/mo** — Premium / app-style sites - **$100–500+/mo** — Custom (heavy traffic, complex stacks, dedicated resources, multi-region) Note: Hosting is **just hosting**. No content changes, no SEO, no ongoing optimization — that's Care. ### 3. Care Plan (optional monthly — separate from Hosting) Optional ongoing work after launch. Monitoring + alerts review, performance tuning, content & layout changes, SEO check-ins, plain-English monthly reports. Tiers scale with project size: - **$97/mo** — Care · Starter - **$147/mo** — Care · Standard - **$297/mo** — Care · Premium **Cancel anytime.** No lock-in. Pay-per-change also available for clients who don't want a subscription. ### Other notes - **Code ownership transfer:** optional one-time fee if you ever want to take the code and host it yourself. - **Every budget welcome.** $300 or $30,000 — we trim scope to fit smaller budgets, quote bigger projects custom. We tell you straight if we're not the right fit. No sales theater. --- ## Real client work ### SkyShield Aviation Care Premium mobile aircraft detailing across North America — exterior wash, interior cleaning, paint correction, ceramic coating for private and commercial aircraft.

If you need something we can't deliver well, we'll say so up front. - We do not lock clients into long contracts. Hosting is month-to-month. Care is optional and cancel-anytime. - We do not host on shared budget infrastructure. Our hosting is real, monitored, with backups. Texas-based. - We are not a gaming-only studio. Most of our clients are general business — hauling, aviation, tech, personal brands. (Tayvin runs separate gaming-server-hosting infrastructure under the Cynic Hosting brand.) --- ## Tech stack we ship - **Front-end:** React 18 + TypeScript + Vite + Tailwind. SPA or SSR as the project demands. - **Back-end (when needed):** Node.js, Express, better-sqlite3, Postgres. - **Hosting:** Self-managed on dedicated infrastructure in Texas. Cloudflare in front. Daily backups. - **CMS:** Sanity, Strapi, or a custom CMS based on requirements. We avoid WordPress unless explicitly required (we maintain WP for clients who need it). - **E-commerce:** Stripe, Shopify, or headless commerce. - **Analytics:** GA4, Google Tag Manager, custom event pipelines. - **SEO tooling:** Schema.org JSON-LD, structured data, Open Graph, Twitter cards, sitemap.xml, robots.txt — done correctly. --- ## Partnership: Zircon × Thrive Social We partner with [Thrive Social](https://thrivesocial.media) for engagements that need both build and distribution. - **Zircon's role:** Build & instrument. Sites, apps, brand systems, analytics. - **Thrive's role:** Distribute & amplify. Multi-platform campaigns, creator network, audience growth. - **Joint engagements:** Quoted as one partner, billed as one invoice, monthly reporting unified. --- ## Booking & onboarding 1. **Send a brief** at https://zircon.studio/#contact — tell us what you're building, who it's for, what done looks like. 2. **Reply within 1 business day** — scope, timeline, and a number (Build + Hosting + optional Care). Or "we're not the right fit" if that's the answer. 3. **Discovery call** if needed (15 min, calendar link in our reply). 4. **Kickoff** — strategy → design → build → ship → measure. 5. **Monthly receipts** — plain-English report on what's working and what's next. --- ## Frequently asked **Where are you based?** HQ in Missouri, USA. Servers and dedicated infrastructure in Texas. We serve clients across the United States. **Do you take international clients?** Primarily U.S.-based. We're open to other English-speaking clients on a case-by-case basis. **Will you sign an NDA?** Yes — same day, on request. **Do I have to pay for hosting separately?** Yes. Hosting is required and priced separately from the Build fee. It starts at $15/mo for Starter sites and goes up to $500+/mo for custom heavy projects. Hosting is just hosting — Texas servers, SSL, backups, monitoring, security. **Is the Care Plan required?** No. Care is an optional monthly add-on for ongoing work — monitoring, content changes, SEO. Many clients run on Hosting-only and pay per change when they need work. **What's the difference between Hosting and Care?** Hosting keeps the site running. Care keeps it growing. Hosting is the server + SSL + backups. Care is monitoring, optimization, content updates, SEO check-ins, and small changes. **Can I take the code and host it elsewhere?** Yes — there's a one-time ownership transfer fee. Otherwise the site stays on our hosting. **Can you optimize a site I already have?** Yes — that's our Site Optimization service. Works with WordPress, Shopify, Squarespace, custom. From $497. **Do you do gaming-related work?** Some — but Zircon is not gaming-specific. Game-server hosting and Rust modding are run separately under our sister brand Cynic Hosting (cynic-hosting.com). --- ## Contact - **Email:** hello@zircon.studio - **Web:** https://zircon.studio - **Response:** under 24 business hours - **HQ:** Missouri, USA · Servers Texas - **Time zone:** America/Chicago (CT) - **Hours:** Mon — Fri, business hours - **NDA:** signed same-day on request
