05 · Questions

Good to know.

What does pixel47 do?+

What do you build websites with?+

We build on Astro, a modern framework that ships fast, lightweight sites by default. Custom code means no template bloat, strong Core Web Vitals, and the freedom to add real functionality and integrations that template shops cannot touch.

How long does a website project take?+

A typical marketing site runs about four to eight weeks from discovery to launch. Web apps take longer depending on scope. An AI-accelerated workflow lets a small senior team deliver faster than traditional agencies without cutting quality.

Do you work with international clients?+

Yes. We work with startups and companies worldwide, in English, and run the entire engagement remotely, from discovery through launch and ongoing care.
