For businesses in Seattle–Tacoma
Compare a visual refresh, a targeted repair and a platform replacement. Keep the decision tied to what customers and your team need the site to do.
Detroit-based design and engineering. Remote collaboration around your team.
A useful first decision
We work with businesses in Seattle, Tacoma and the wider Seattle–Tacoma–Bellevue market from our Detroit base. Start with the task, the people who need the result and the systems already involved. The project can focus on one capability or combine them where the work calls for it.
Your first review should make the next investment easier to judge. A focused scope can include:
Three connected capabilities
Choose the work that solves the problem. Each service has its own scope, evidence and way to review the result.
Websites and search
Compare a visual refresh, content or navigation repair, technical work and a full rebuild against the platform's current editing, inquiry and search behavior. Make the reason for a platform move explicit, with a content and URL plan and checks for the connections it replaces.
Owned websiteExplore Butler Agency’s service-to-inquiry journey and technical search setup. The walkthrough shows the site you are using and the decisions behind it.
Custom software
If one custom feature limits the website, isolate its user task, data and connections. Compare adapting the existing system with a focused application or integration. Agree what users need to inspect in the first change and what each option requires to maintain.
Working software demonstrationInspect a rules-based source lookup with an exact excerpt, a missing-source stop and an out-of-scope refusal. These fixed examples make the application’s decisions visible.
AI and workflow automation
List the background connections that must continue when the visible pages change, including routing, scheduled transfers and approvals. Retain useful tools, clear human decisions and an exception route. Review any AI information task and the connected workflow as part of the same handover.
Design reference · owned demonstrationThe same deterministic lookup illustrates source handling and human review. A language-model implementation needs its own task-specific evaluation; the demonstration supplies a concrete pattern to discuss.
Collaboration and handover
We agree a practical review schedule, the working version you will inspect and who on your team approves each decision. Your team supplies authorized access, business rules and content; we bring the design and engineering needed for the agreed result.
The proposal brings deliverables, investment, dependencies, ownership and support together. For a website, review the pages, mobile journey and inquiry connections. For software or automation, check permissions, expected results and failure handling with representative examples before choosing the next step.
We review the current platform, content, integrations and required changes first. A refresh or targeted repair can be scoped when it meets the goal; a replacement should have a clear practical reason.
Yes. We start by inspecting what you have, the problem you want to solve and the parts worth keeping. The recommendation can be a repair, a focused integration or a rebuild, with the work and review steps agreed before implementation.
Butler Agency is based in Detroit. We agree meeting times, review points and the people who can approve the work around your team. Shared working versions and written decisions give your reviewers a concrete way to check progress. Any on-site work would need its own agreement.
The proposal sets out ownership, licensed components, access, documentation and the handover. We can discuss ongoing maintenance or a handover to your team. Hosting, third-party services and support responsibilities are agreed as part of that arrangement.
