Built for the platform you already use

A crew that already knows every quirk of your platform.

We use this exact pipeline to build our own pages — including this one. You get the benefit of a system we run on ourselves daily.

Brilliant Directories specialists

Every quirk of the platform is native to us — not designers learning your stack on your budget.

AI-accelerated build pipeline

The MCP server and pipeline compress 1-2 weeks of traditional agency work into 6-7 productive hours.

Live preview throughout

You watch the build happen — preview links land every hour or so, not a reveal at the end.

Recorded handoff every time

A 60-minute walkthrough you keep — so you can repeat or extend the work yourself next month.

The Method

Diagnosis Design Delivery.

The 3 D's framework from our DirectoryIntensive curriculum. Every Day follows this exact arc.

Diagnosis

30-min scoping call before the Day. We lock which Day type fits your work (Launch, Polish, Conversion, Audit, Reskin, Activation, SEO, or Email), confirm brand assets (colors, fonts, logo), and surface any platform-specific gotchas in advance.

Design

On the Day itself, we execute the chosen Day type — building, polishing, fixing, optimizing, or launching as the work calls for. Our AI-accelerated pipeline compresses what would take a traditional agency 1-2 weeks into 6-7 productive hours. You watch the build via live preview throughout.

Delivery

Everything pushed live to your site (clean landing pages with no header/footer wrapping when relevant). 60-min recorded handoff session — we show you before/after, walk you through your folder of assets, and demo how to refresh content next month yourself. You keep the recording.

Same arc whether it's a sales page, lead magnet, course overview, or sitewide polish.

The Three Paths

Most directory owners are stuck between DIY and a $10K agency.

DIY drags for months. Agencies cost five figures plus retainer. The Day is the third path.

DIY or full agency

  • Months of weekend work that never quite ships
  • $5K–$15K agency retainers with 6-week timelines
  • Custom-coded work you can't update yourself later
  • Designers who don't know your platform's quirks — break things they don't understand
  • Vague scopes that creep, vague invoices that grow

The Day

  • $1,200 fixed price, one calendar day
  • MCP server + AI pipeline compresses 1-2 weeks of agency work into 8 hours
  • Massive output shipped — pick from 8 Day types, the right scope for your work
  • Brilliant Directories specialists — every quirk of the platform is native to us
  • Recorded handoff so you can repeat or extend yourself next month
Eight Day types

Pick the Day that fits the work.

Six to seven productive hours, disciplined to the Day type you pick. Live preview the whole way through.

Ongoing monthly maintenance → not offered; come back per-Day as needed

The Full Ladder

Every way the crew can work with you.

FAQ

Questions we get most.

What's the difference between a Day and the Developer tier?
A Day uses our existing component library — fast assembly, no custom code written. Developer is the same day length but unlocks custom integrations, complex logic, theme overrides, and custom-built widgets. If your work fits one of the 8 Day types, a Day is enough. If it requires writing fresh code, go to Developer.
What's the difference between a Day and White Glove?
White Glove is the full multi-page launch package. If you need a sales page, lead magnet, course overview, about, and pricing all built and connected, White Glove fits. If you need a few pages or a sitewide polish, a Day is enough.
Do I have to be available the whole day?
We recommend you're reachable for the first 30 min (Diagnosis confirmation) and the last 60 min (handoff session). The 5 hours in between, you can be heads-down on your own work — we'll send you preview links every hour or so.
What if my scope creeps mid-Day?
We hold the menu firm. If something comes up that doesn't fit, we add it to a follow-up or book a second Day. The Day rate stays $1,200 for the original scope.
What do you need from me before the Day?
Admin access (an API key with the right scopes), brand assets (logo, primary color, font preferences), and content for the pages we're building (headlines, body copy, testimonials if any, pricing). We send a short intake form after booking that walks you through it.
What's the recorded handoff?
End-of-Day Zoom or Loom (60 min). We walk you through every change, show before/after, demo your folder, and explain how you can refresh content next month yourself or send us a refresh request. You keep the recording.
Refunds / rescheduling?
Intake form due 1 week before the Day so we have time to prep. Cancel or reschedule with 2 weeks notice for a full deposit refund — that gives us enough lead time to offer your slot to someone else. Within 2 weeks, the $600 deposit applies to a rescheduled Day within 60 days but isn't refundable. Once the Day starts, the full $1,200 is committed.
Do you support directories on platforms other than Brilliant Directories?
Today a Day supports Brilliant Directories sites only — that's where our build system runs deepest. Adjacent platform brands are coming, each with their own Day Intensive offer. If you're on another platform, book a free audit call and we'll tell you whether we can serve you today or when our build for your platform is ready.
