Why Social Animal

Most agencies ship websites.
We engineer revenue.

Big agencies bill hourly, ship WordPress themes, and bolt on SEO as an upsell. We build performance-first sites that score 95+ on Lighthouse, speak 8 languages, and rank the day they go live. Fixed-fee. No surprises. And every project helps animals.

The problem

Your agency is holding you back.

53%

of mobile visitors bounce

if your site loads in over 3 seconds. The average agency-built site? 4-6 seconds. Ours load in under 1.

73%

of agency sites fail Core Web Vitals

Google penalises slow, janky sites. Most agencies still ship WordPress themes with 40+ plugins. We build from scratch and guarantee every metric passes.

$0

is what most agencies spend on your SEO

They build the site, hand it over, and disappear. We wire SEO into the architecture: schema, sitemaps, hreflang, internal linking -- all built in, not charged as an add-on.

What sets us apart

What big agencies won't tell you.

SEO Wired In, Not Bolted On

Most agencies launch first and "add SEO later." We architect every page with schema markup, semantic HTML, hreflang for 8 languages, and Core Web Vitals targets from the first commit. The result: pages that rank the day they go live.

Performance You Can Measure

We guarantee 95+ Lighthouse scores and sub-1s load times on every build -- not aspirational, contractual. Astro and Next.js on Vercel edge. While big agencies deliver 40-60 Lighthouse sites, ours pass Core Web Vitals on day one.

Fixed-Fee. Always.

Every agency claims transparency. We actually deliver it: fixed-fee pricing on every project. No hourly billing, no scope creep invoices, no "change request" surcharges. The price quoted is the price paid -- with 30-day post-launch support included.

8-Language Reach From Day One

Every page and blog post is automatically translated into Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Portuguese, and Arabic -- reaching 4.4B+ potential readers. Most agencies charge per-locale. We include it.

Modern Stack, Not Legacy Bloat

No WordPress themes. No page builders. No jQuery. We build with Astro, Next.js, Supabase, and TypeScript -- the same stack used by Vercel, Stripe, and Linear. Your site is an engineered product, not a template with plugins.

Every Project Helps Animals

A portion of every project goes directly to animal rescue organisations, wildlife conservation, and sanctuary programmes. Your website doesn't just grow your business -- it makes the world better. No other agency does this.
