What you have now
One subscription and one invoice for the agency. Viewers and client guests are free, and every site stages free.
Six ways to work with us: one-off builds, the two migration offers, an ongoing retainer, or a white-label partnership.
Custom marketing sites with hand-rolled animation systems and CMS architecture, built in Terminal. Ships in 2–6 weeks.
Production applications on Next.js or Astro. Auth, billing, admin tooling, infrastructure as code.
Permanent engineering capacity. A direct Slack channel and a no-expiration hour pool.
An older site built on code embeds, or a dated site on another builder, moved onto the Stacklumen Framework — native, editable and measurable.
Modernize without losing equity. Schema preserved, redirects mapped, Core Web Vitals tuned. You keep the rankings.
Your brand, your client relationship — our engineering behind the scenes. NDA-protected by default.
Every engagement is officially quoted before any commitment. Read the terms
The agency is the customer. One plan covers the Hub, Terminal, StackIDE and Baselumen for the whole team, in every workspace, on one invoice. Prices are in US dollars and exclude tax.
Build and stage without paying. One editor, one workspace.
For one person running client work.
For a team, with room to add people and workspaces.
Every site built in Terminal publishes to its free staging address, on every plan. A site that goes out on its own domain takes a site plan, billed one site at a time on the agency’s one invoice.
To bill your own client, a site’s settings send them a pay link for the site. On the Agency plan they can pay it by card, straight into your own Stripe account; or they pay you the way you already invoice, and you mark it paid.

Every site publishes to its free Stacklumen address the moment you press publish.
The site on its own domain, found by search.
For a site that runs on its content.
StackIDE, the Stacklumen desktop app for Mac and Windows, comes with every account, Free included. It works on the sites and plans you already have: what you save in it reaches the site, and its Publish puts the site live on the same terms as the web.
A short demo of StackIDE, the Stacklumen desktop app, plays: the heading is rewritten and saved, and the Designer tab shows it live; the status bar's Publish button puts Northgate live, step by step.
