S&S Groundwork
About

The S and the S.

S&S Groundwork is Elijah Souder and Xander Scannell — two friends who build websites for small businesses, then hand them over properly.

Elijah Souder

Co-founder, client & strategy

The first person you talk to. He figures out what your business actually needs, what it doesn't, and what it should cost — then makes sure the site says the right things to the right people.

Xander Scannell

Co-founder, build & infrastructure

The one who makes it real. He builds the site, wires up the domain, email, and hosting, and makes sure the whole thing works on day one and keeps working after we've handed it over.

Why "Groundwork"

Because that's the job.

The site, the domain, the email — the ground a business stands on online. We put it in, make sure it's solid, and hand it over.

Our clients' businesses aren't websites — they're restaurants, shops, trades, and services. The website just needs to exist, work, and belong to them.

Honest scopeIf you don't need it, we won't sell it to you.
Content before buildNo build starts until your content is in hand — that's how timelines survive.
Your accounts, at costDomain and hosting on your card, in your name, no markup.
Done means doneWe're finished when you can make a live change yourself.
