Core Web Vitals in 2026: what actually moves LCP on a real site
We rebuilt six sites for Largest Contentful Paint this year. Four changes accounted for almost all of the improvement — and none of them was the one clients expected.

Clients who return
Long-term partnerships
Sites, films and systems we built for clients, running in production today. Open any of them — they are not mockups.

Education
Study in the UK
A UK study platform covering course and university search, a career quiz that narrows the options, and an application journey that runs from first visit through to enrolment.

Legal
The Entrepreneur's Lawyers
A brand-led site for a Kathmandu firm advising founders on company formation, contracts, fundraising and IP — practice areas, flat-fee pricing and a booking flow that turns a reader into an intro call.

Education
Building Futures
A study-abroad consultancy site built around discovery: destination and university directories, success stories, and a consultation booking flow for students and parents.

Training
तयारी · तालिम · सेवा
A Nepali-language academy site for exam preparation and training programmes, with course listings, intake information and enrolment enquiries in the language its students actually search in.
Five stages, run in order, whatever you hired us for. Each one hands the next something to work with.
We first identify what is holding your business back and what needs to improve. If your requested solution won't solve the problem, we'll tell you and recommend a better approach.
OutcomeClarity on the real problem, the opportunities around it, and where to focus first.
Before we build anything, we record where things stand — analytics, website performance, ads, server data, and customer feedback. Without a baseline, we can't prove what changed.
OutcomeA written before — the numbers every later claim gets measured against.
We measure the value and cost of each fix. That makes it clear what to do first and why.
OutcomeA ranked list of work, each item carrying what it is worth and what it costs.
Design, code, content and campaigns come out of one plan and land in two-week cycles, on a staging URL you can watch from the first day. Whatever we build, you own outright.
OutcomeA working system your team owns, shipped in cycles you can watch.
Launch is where measurement starts. Experiments run against a single metric on a fortnightly cycle, reported on the dashboard your leadership already reads — including the experiments that failed.
OutcomeA repeatable growth loop that keeps returning more than it costs.
Every discipline below is run through those same five stages — which is why they report against one number rather than five.
Every service is a system with an outcome attached. Take one, or combine them into a growth stack built around your business.
Answer three questions and we will put a stack together around your goal — without picking a service first.
Eight minutes inside a real engagement: the audit that opens it, the decisions we argue about, the build, and the dashboard the client reads on the Monday after launch.
Every project below lists what changed and by how much. Where a number is missing, it is because the client asked us not to publish it — not because it did not move.

Himalayan Café
A single-location café with no online ordering became a five-branch group with a direct channel that outsells the delivery aggregators.

Qualified leads
GreenPath
A solar installer's annual PDF became an interactive savings calculator that now generates a third of all qualified leads.
Plotted, fittingly, on an n·log n curve. The early weeks cost the most effort and return the least — which is exactly why most agencies skip them.
We audit what you have, interview the people who talk to your customers, and pull the numbers. You get a written diagnosis before anyone opens a design file.
We agree on one metric that matters and the shortest route to moving it. Scope, sequence, and success criteria are signed off together — no surprises in week six.
Wireframes first, then a design system built from real content. Every screen is reviewed against the metric it is meant to move, not against taste.
Next.js on the front, Node.js behind it. You watch it come together on a staging URL from day one, with weekly demos and a live changelog.
Redirects mapped, schema validated, analytics firing, Core Web Vitals green. We stay on the call through the DNS switch and the first traffic.
Launch is the start of the measurement. We run experiments in two-week cycles and report on the same dashboard your leadership already reads.
This page loads in under a second, scores green on Core Web Vitals, and every claim on it is one we would show you the dashboard for. That is the standard we hand to clients.
Every engagement opens with a baseline and closes with a comparison. If the work did not move the metric, we say so first.
Code, accounts, domains, design files. All of it is yours from day one, in your repositories and your billing.
A site that loads in under a second outranks and outsells one that does not. We treat performance as scope, not polish.
If a request will not work, you hear it in week one — with an alternative — rather than in the retrospective.
The team you get
“We stopped renting our customers from delivery apps. That single change funded two new branches, and nlogn built the thing that made it possible.”
“The same traffic, three times the students. Nothing else about our marketing changed — only what happened after someone landed on the page.”
“They told us in week one that half our brief was a bad idea, showed the data, and proposed something better. That is why we are still working with them.”
“Our search went from eleven seconds to just over one. Agents noticed before we announced it.”
“Forty makers, one storefront, and none of us needed a developer to add a product. That was the whole point.”
Field notes from real engagements: what worked, what did not, and the numbers underneath both.

We rebuilt six sites for Largest Contentful Paint this year. Four changes accounted for almost all of the improvement — and none of them was the one clients expected.

A rebuild is the cheapest moment to fix crawl waste, and the most expensive moment to create it. Here is the eleven-point audit we run in week one, with the exact commands.
Nabin Gurung

Static, dynamic, streamed or client-rendered — the decision is per route, not per project. Here is the table we use, and what each choice costs in practice.
Kabin Bhattarai
Pricing, timelines, ownership and what happens if it does not work. If yours is not here, ask it directly.
Marketing sites start at $4,500 and most land between $6,000 and $15,000 depending on page count and integrations. Custom software starts at $6,000. Retainers begin at $1,200 a month. Every proposal is fixed-scope and fixed-price, so the number you approve is the number you pay.
Five to eight weeks for a marketing site, nine to twelve for a platform or storefront. The single biggest variable is content — projects where copy and photography are ready ship two weeks faster on average.
Around half our clients are overseas, mostly in Australia, the UK, and the Gulf. We keep a four-hour overlap with your working day and run every project asynchronously in writing, so timezone is a scheduling detail rather than a risk.
You do, without exception. Repositories sit in your organisation, hosting and ad accounts are billed to you, and design files are licensed to you outright. There is no lock-in and nothing to buy back if you leave.
Not if the migration is done properly. We crawl the current site, map every URL to its replacement, ship 301 redirects, and monitor Search Console daily for the first month. Most of our migrations gain organic traffic within six weeks.
Thirty days of support are included with every build — bugs, tweaks, and questions. After that you can take a growth retainer, buy support hours as needed, or run it yourself with the documentation we hand over. All three are genuinely fine.
It is the complexity of an efficient sort — O(n log n). Add more input and the cost grows, but far slower than the output. That is the shape of growth we build for: compounding, not linear.
Tell us the number you need to move. We will come back within one working day with an honest read on whether we can move it — and what it would take.
