A GOTB Consulting company
The proof is live
We did not make a mock-up. We rebuilt our own site, and you can click through it. Fast, mobile friendly and accessible is what we build every time.
Lean pages, optimized images and video that waits until someone presses play.
Designed small first, with big buttons and tap-to-call.
Real text, labeled forms, readable colors and keyboard-friendly menus.
Clear titles, descriptions and share cards on every page.
Built by GOTB on gotbconsulting.com, October 2026. We do not promise search rankings.
What you get
Built for phones first
Most visitors meet you on a phone. Every page is designed small first, with tap-to-call and big, clear buttons.
Bid-ready pages
Capability statement, certifications, NAICS codes, past work and contact details where buyers and primes look first.
Explainers people read
Topic hubs and plain-language pages, with friendly illustrated guides, so complex work makes sense in a minute.
Latest posts, on autopilot
Your social posts sync to a Latest Posts page by themselves, so the site never goes stale.
Events and Notices
A simple, automatic place for upcoming events, deadlines and announcements.
Client Hub and portal
A friendly hub for clients, plus an optional password-protected portal for private updates.
Search and sharing basics
Distinct titles, descriptions, share cards and structured data, so you are easier to find and look good when shared.
Accessibility checks
Labeled forms, readable colors, real text and keyboard checks. We target WCAG 2.1 AA and do not promise legal compliance.

Your domain, hosting, analytics and content sit in your name. Nothing is locked in.

Questions, answered
Do I own the website?
Yes. The domain, hosting account, analytics and all content are in your name. The site is standard WordPress, so you can take it anywhere.
How long does it take?
Typical ranges are 2 to 3 weeks (Starter), 4 to 6 weeks (Chicago Star) and 6 to 10 weeks (Flagship), counted from when your content arrives. Late content is the number one cause of delays.
Will you guarantee my Google ranking?
No. Nobody honestly can. We build the basics that help: clear titles and descriptions, fast pages, mobile design, structured data and a redirect map so old links keep working.
Is this built by AI?
A team of AI agents does much of the building, and Michael O’Brien reviews and approves every page before you see it. We say so openly; it is also how we keep prices fair and timelines predictable.
Is the site accessible?
We target WCAG 2.1 AA: labeled forms, readable colors, real text and keyboard checks. We do not promise legal compliance and we do not sell overlay widgets.
How do payments work?
A deposit starts the work: 50% on Starter, and 40% / 30% / 30% on the larger tiers (start, design approval, before launch). Michael issues every invoice personally. This website never takes a payment.
What does the founding-client offer mean?
The first five clients receive a discount in exchange for written permission to share a case study and a short testimonial. Nothing is published about you without your written yes.
Can you move my old site’s pages and links?
Yes. Every tier includes a redirect map so your old addresses point to the right new pages, and we keep an eye on search basics after launch.
Ready for a front door that works?
Tell us about your business and your current site. You will hear back from Michael O’Brien, President of GOTB Consulting, usually within two business days.
