The Clay Media · Free Homepage + Reveal

The web team you never had. Your new homepage, built free, before you pay us a dollar.

Six minutes. What we do, who it’s for, who it’s not for, and the math. Then you decide. Press the speaker icon on the video for sound.

No call to get started. Give us your website, then we send you a time to see the result.

What happens when you click

Here’s exactly what you get.

Three steps. No proposal deck, no discovery call, no pitch. You see the work first, the way it should be.

01

Your new homepage, built free

We build it before you ever talk to us.

  • Built from your real business. We read your site, your reviews, and what your buyers actually search for, then design around that. Not a template with your logo dropped in.
  • Mobile first. Most of your buyers look you up from a phone in a parking lot. The page is built for that screen first.
  • Yours to keep. Like it and don’t hire us? Keep it anyway. No hard feelings.

A few days

From the moment you give us your URL to the reveal.

02

The 15 minute reveal

We walk you through it live.

  • Side by side. Your live site next to the new one. You’ll see the difference before anyone says a word.
  • Plain English. What we changed and why. No jargon, no scorecards.
  • Then you decide. If you want us to handle the whole thing, we talk about that. If not, you have a free homepage and we part friends.
15 min

That’s the whole call.


No pitch

You’ve already seen the work. Nothing to sell.

03

The web department you don’t have

If it makes sense, this is what we become for you.

  • One person. A real project manager who knows your business. You email them, it gets done. Same day most of the time.
  • The stuff you never see. SSL, ADA, privacy, cookie consent, security. Handled every month so you never hear about it.
  • Every Google and AI search update. We read them and apply them to your site before you’d know they happened.
  • Month to month. If you don’t want to be in the deal, we don’t want to be in it either.

Before you click

This is not for everyone.

Not for you if

  • You have one site and it’s fine.
  • You want somebody to grow your whole business for you. That’s a different conversation.
  • The price is going to be a debate. We’re not a fit, and that’s okay.

For you if

  • You run a real company that does real money.
  • You have more than one site, or one site that actually matters.
  • Nobody on your team owns it. IT doesn’t touch marketing, marketing can’t code, the agency stopped replying.
  • You’d pay to never think about your website again.

Who you’re dealing with

Hey, I’m Chris.

Sixteen years. One owner. I founded The Clay Media in Orange County in 2009 and I still run it. We handle the websites and digital infrastructure for about 150 companies, from a Nasdaq-listed investment firm to steel fabricators, law firms, and a battery company with 35 shops across three countries.

Before this I was a batboy for the Oakland A’s, interned for the A’s general manager, and ran video for the Cleveland Indians. My first business built a video system that helped big league players fix their mechanics. I’ve managed IT for a bond trading firm and produced tracks for Warren G.

The thread through all of it: real companies, real people, work you can point at. I’d rather show you a homepage than send you a proposal. Read my full story.
