Websites we CREATE

What sets Talentive apart? Our specialized recruiters truly understand their field. By focusing on specific disciplines, our team gains a deep understanding of your unique needs.

01. Property Services

Our recruitment process begins with a thorough understanding of your needs. We conduct an in-depth job intake meeting to define the position and the specific profile you’re seeking. During this session, we work closely with you to clarify the role’s objectives, technical requirements, and the total compensation package offered. We need to have a crystal-clear picture of your ideal candidate.

02. We start the Search

When a new position lands on our desk, we kick off with a strategy meeting to determine the most efficient approach to get top-tier professional profiles in your inbox as quickly as possible. Once a strategy is established, we source candidates from various channels, and for roles requiring more precision, we engage in targeted headhunting, focusing on specific companies. Typically, we assess over 500 profiles to narrow it down to around 10 candidates, whom we interview and match with the position.

03. We Meet the Potential Candidates

After shortlisting candidates who meet the technical and professional requirements for the role, we conduct in-depth, face-to-face interviews, be it in person or over a video conference. This step is essential, and we never present a candidate without meeting them first.

04. You Interview 3 to 5 Candidates

We present you with a shortlist of 3 to 5 highly qualified candidates who have been thoroughly vetted and interviewed by our team. By narrowing down the pool to only the best fits that meet the technical and professional requirements, we streamline the process for you, ensuring that your time is spent with top-tier professionals. Now it’s your turn to assess and choose the candidate who will best support your goals.

05. We Facilitate the Negotiation Process

Once you’ve selected THE candidate, we step in to assist with the offer negotiation process. Our team acts as an intermediary to ensure that both parties reach a mutually beneficial agreement. From salary discussions to benefits packages and any additional terms, we provide guidance and support to make sure the offer is competitive and increase the chances of it being accepted. Our goal is to help you secure the right talent while ensuring the candidate is excited to join your team.

06. We Conduct Pre-Employment Checks

We conduct thorough pre-employment checks to verify the credentials and backgrounds of the candidates you intend to make a job offer to. This includes reference checks, employment verification, background screenings, and credit checks to assess their professional history, character, and overall suitability for your organization. While reference and employment checks and verifications are conducted for all candidates regardless of employer expectations, all other services mentioned above are available upon request at no additional cost to you.

07. Post-Placement Integration Support

After the candidate has officially joined your team, our support doesn’t stop. To assure a smooth transition and continued satisfaction for both you and your new hire, we conduct post-placement follow-ups to ensure everything is going well. This allows us to address any concerns or challenges that may arise early on, helping to foster a successful working relationship. Our goal is to ensure that the candidate is thriving in their new position and that you are fully satisfied with your hiring decision. We’re here to support you every step of the way.

Design philosophy


We believe in a timeless approach to web design.

We build websites that look good today and will still look good a decade from now.

We don’t rely on heavy imagery or lengthy animations unless specifically requested.

We instead focus on typography, grid-based layouts, and subtle micro-interactions where needed and appropriate.

We believe good design improves the way people experience the web, this belief is reflected in every website we ship.

Design principles


Explicit is better than implicit.

Simple is better than complex.

Complex is better than complicated.

Sparse is better than dense.

Flat is better than nested.

Readable is better than clever.

Structure is better than decoration.

FAQ

Frequently asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our web design and development services, our process, and how we help local small businesses strengthen their online presence.

01 How much does a website cost?

+
Our custom website packages start at just $880. The final price depends on the scope of your project, the number of pages, and any specific features required. Every project begins with a free consultation so we can give you an accurate quote.

02 How long does a project take?

+
Most projects wrap up within 2 to 4 weeks. The pace largely depends on how quickly feedback and approvals come in at each stage, as well as the complexity of the project. Our structured process keeps things moving without any surprises.

03 Do you build custom websites or use templates?

+
Every website we build is fully custom. We start from a wireframe tailored to your business, design a unique mockup, and develop a site that reflects your brand — no generic templates.

04 Why hire a web agency instead of using a website builder?

+
Website builders can seem appealing, but they often result in generic designs that don’t reflect your brand or rank all that well on Google. Working with us means you get a professionally designed, SEO-ready custom website – with a real human guiding you through every step of the process.

05 Do you handle SEO?

+
Every site we build includes foundational SEO — proper structure, meta tags, page speed, and the basics that matter most at launch. For ongoing or advanced SEO work, that’s a separate engagement. Get in touch and we can talk through what makes sense for your goals.

06 Can I update the site myself after launch?

+
Yes — you own your website, fully. After launch, we create two accounts for you: one with full admin privileges (which we recommend keeping safe and using sparingly), and one with just enough access to update your content day to day without risking anything critical.

07 Do you work with existing WordPress sites?

+
Yes. Whether you need a full redesign or just want some issues resolved, we’re comfortable working with existing WordPress sites. Just let us know where things stand and we’ll take it from there.

08 What’s included after launch?

+
Once your site is live, we walk you through how everything works — so you and your team feel confident managing it day to day. No black box, no dependency on us for every small change.

09 Do you write the copy for the website?

+
Copywriting isn’t part of our service — we focus on design and development. That said, if you need someone to write or refine your content, we can point you toward people we trust.
