Plate II — Argo Navis

Every client, its own vessel.

Client work charted from discovery, never launched from a stock hull. Each vessel in the fleet reflects how the business actually sails — not a feature manifest.

Argo Navis — The Fleet · Plate II

Currently Under Sail

Three vessels, charted.

Vessel — Jacobs Construction MN

Custom WordPress build for a Minneapolis general contractor. The commission began with a structured discovery session to chart how Jacobs Construction actually wins business — not a feature wishlist, but their real sales course and client expectations.

The result is a conversion-focused vessel with a clean service structure, clear calls to action, and zero borrowed rigging.

Vessel — Shortstop Lawn and Snow

A Coon Rapids lawn-care and snow-removal outfit whose existing chart wasn't bringing in trade. The rebuild started with how customers actually search — seasonal services, service territory, clear ports of contact.

The result is a fast, mobile-first vessel with local SEO schema and zero template ballast. Built to be found and built to convert.

Vessel — PeoplePractice Co.

Full-stack white-label SaaS vessel for fractional HR consultants, charted from first principles — strategy, design, and engineering. Each licensee sails their own practice under their own flag and subdomain. First tenant: Cultivate People Co., a Twin Cities HR consultancy.

Ships with 62 AI-powered HR instruments, an 11-tab client logbook, a white-labeled client portal, e-signature, and Stripe subscription billing.

How a Vessel Is Launched

Three bearings to launch.

01

Discovery

Every commission begins with a structured discovery session — the client's real goals, sales course, and audience, before a single line is drawn. No quote sheets. No assumptions.

Deliverable: Project Brief
02

Design

Purpose-built from the brief. No hulls off the shelf, no rigging kits. Every layout and typographic decision serves the client's specific waters. Iterations run with the client aboard.

Deliverable: Approved Mockup
03

Build

The approved design is built in full — clean HTML/CSS/JS or custom WordPress theme. No builders, no drag-and-drop assembly. Fitted to production quality before handoff.

Deliverable: Live Website

No templates used at any stage. If the commission isn't right for TCBB's course, that gets said before any keel is laid.

Calibration — By Appointment

Bring us a bearing. Leave with a fleet.
