Ursa Major
Ursa Major delivers mission-ready aerospace and defense systems across hypersonics, solid rocket motors, and space-based defense, leveraging additive manufacturing and modular architectures to produce scalable all-up rounds, engines, and SRMs faster than legacy providers. From throttleable, storable hypersonics to tactically responsive satellite propulsion and extended-range solid rocket motors, Ursa Major is powering the joint force with flexible, American-made systems for any mission, in any domain. DoodleWeb replatformed them onto WordPress — shipping a procurement-grade marketing site with significantly faster page loads, restructured navigation for defense and government stakeholders, and an editor-friendly CMS that lets internal comms publish at the pace of an engineering organization. Shipped in 16 weeks.
Amplify AI
Amplify AI, a B2B SaaS startup, replaced a slow custom WordPress site with a Webflow rebuild from DoodleWeb. Outcome: 4× demo bookings in the first 60 days post-launch, demo-to-customer rate up 60%, and a marketing team that ships pages independently without engineering involvement. Shipped in 10 weeks.
Young Americans Center
Young Americans Center for Financial Education runs the only bank in the world for kids alongside a set of hands-on programs, AmeriTowne, International Towne, Money Matters, YouthBiz, and summer camp, that teach financial literacy to youth. Two audiences, two brands, one mission, and previously two disconnected websites. DoodleWeb ran a brand and experience repositioning, then rebuilt the platform on WordPress at WP Engine: a sub-brand system that lets Young Americans Center, Young Americans Bank, and each program keep its own color world while sharing one component library, program pages that lead with a plain-language promise instead of nonprofit jargon, and an editorial model that keeps mission content and regulated bank content cleanly separated. Shipped in 18 weeks. WCAG 2.2 AA conformant.
SiteSonar
SiteSonar is a DoodleWeb-built product: a no-code website performance adapter that lifts AI-search (GEO/AEO) visibility, identifies high-intent traffic, and converts more pipeline — without rebuilding the underlying site. Done for you Core from $1,200/month, installs in 14 days, requires zero CMS migration. Used by marketing teams that need AI-search citation share without a replatform.
