Visual assets by The Shot Labs

Most agencies design around stock photos and hand you a shot list. Our production partner, The Shot Labs, sits inside the same team, producing the photography, video and brand content your site and social channels need.

Real visuals shot for your space, your team and your services, added to any project whenever the work calls for them, so the imagery fits the design instead of filling it.

Photography

Brand, team and space imagery shot to fit the design.

Video

Hero reels, service and social video, ready for the web.

Drone

Aerial establishing shots for locations and properties.

Brand content

A library your site, ads and socials all draw from.

More questions
What does Build Theory do?+

We design, build and grow websites for service businesses. That covers branding and logos, custom website design and development, SEO, AEO, booking and CRM setup, and ongoing listing management, all from one team.

How much does a website cost?+

Most projects land between a focused marketing site and a larger custom build. After a short intro call we send a fixed quote with a clear scope, so you know the full cost before any work starts.

How long does a project take?+

A focused marketing site typically runs 4 to 6 weeks from kickoff to launch. Larger builds with custom functionality or migrations usually take 8 to 12 weeks.

Do you work with businesses that already have a website?+

Yes. Many engagements start as a technical SEO and performance rescue on an existing site, then grow into a redesign once we know what is actually driving results.
