Custom Marketing Tech

Your Marketing Tech is a Tax.

Paying $500–$1,500 a month for SaaS that does 40 things you don’t need? Let’s cut the fat.

Make the switch to marketing tech made for YOU, not a user base.

Not a SAAS product, not a dev shop

Just marketers building our dream tools

There’s a real difference between a developer who builds what you describe and a team that’s been on your side of the table and got tired of paying for tools that almost fit and features we’ll never use.

Strategy First

Dev shops build what they think you need. SaaS models bill you for features you never touch

We push back because we’ve run the campaigns, set up the CRMs, and managed the ad accounts.

We’re a partner, not a vendor, and we’ve already felt your pain.

We Eat Our Own Cooking

Klok Labs runs on internal tools we built from scratch.

Our CRM, PM tool, email sequence builder, landing pages. 

The subscription costs were stacking up, so we canceled them. Now we control our tools.

You Own It. Full Stop.

The tech is yours. You own the apps from the ground up.

No more SaaS contracts. No more feature requests. Add what you need when you need it.

It scales with you for free. If you never speak with us again after launch, you still keep your tools.

A custom build typically pays for itself in under a year. 


After that, it’s free & fully yours.

If you're paying monthly for it, we can probably replace it.

Pipeline tracking, contact management, follow-up reminders, and whatever your sales & marketing teams need. Not 300 features they’ll never use.

Replaces: HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce

Lead nurturing, drip campaigns, trigger-based automations. Built for your workflow, owned by you. No per-contact pricing that punishes you for growing.

Replaces: Klaviyo, Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign

A PM board that matches how your team actually works instead of forcing your team to conform to the PM board. Faster. Simpler. No per-seat tax.

Replaces: Monday.com, Asana, ClickUp

Empower your team with quick and easy campaign pages and A/B testing. No page-visit limits, no surprise price hikes, plays nice with all your other tech out of the box.

Replaces: Unbounce, Instapage, Leadpages

If it’s got an API, we can connect it. Ad platforms, CRM, analytics, and more in one cohesive view, built for your KPIs. Stop paying for the privilege of seeing your own data.

Replaces: Databox, Looker Studio, AgencyAnalytics

Whatever Else is Wearing Down Your Sanity

Tell us the process that’s slow, annoying, or just too expensive.

That’s usually where we start.

HOW IT WORKS

From "THIS IS ANNOYING" to Fixed.
In weeks.

We don’t do six-week discovery phases. Most projects go from scoping call to working prototype in two weeks or less.

01

SCOPING

30 minutes. We map your actual workflow. Usually surfaces a few things you hadn’t considered.

02

SPEC + QUOTE

We write down exactly what we’ll build and what it costs. Flat rate. No hourly billing, no scope creep surprises, no “well that feature’s extra.”

03

BUILD & EDIT

Working prototype in week one. You see it, you break it, we fix it. Real iteration, not a six-week black box followed by a big reveal.

04

HANDOFF

You get the code, a walkthrough for your team, and zero ongoing dependency on us. Keep us on retainer if you want. Walk away if you don’t.

No SOWs, no pitches, just a quick conversation to get to know you and your needs.
