Frequently asked questions.
Quick answers to the things clients ask before we start a project. If yours isn't here, just send a note.
What does Source IE do?
Source IE designs and builds websites and web apps for agriculture and construction businesses, builds AI visibility infrastructure that gets those businesses found by AI search, and runs content and marketing systems. Automation is used where it genuinely speeds up the work.
Who runs Source IE?
A single founder operator with 30 years in affiliate marketing and ecommerce. You work directly with the person doing the work. No account managers, no handoffs.
Where are you based and who do you work with?
Based in Lake Norden, SD and working remotely with clients globally. Engagements run as fixed scope projects or ongoing retainers.
How long does a typical project take?
A marketing site usually ships in 2 to 4 weeks. Ecommerce builds and custom web apps typically run 4 to 10 weeks depending on scope.
What does it cost?
Pricing is scoped per project after a short discovery call. Most engagements fall between a few thousand and mid five figures, depending on surface area and timeline. You'll get a fixed number, not an hourly estimate.
What tech stack do you build on?
Modern, edge first: TanStack Start / React, TypeScript, Tailwind, Postgres, and Cloudflare. For ecommerce, Shopify, headless, or custom depending on what fits. Everything is handed over cleanly. You own the code, infrastructure, and data.
Do you use AI in the work?
Yes, where it earns its keep: drafting, classification, internal tools, and workflow automation. AI is a tool, not the product. You will not get generic AI generated content shipped under your name.
How do I get started?
Send a short note via the contact page describing what you're building. You'll get a direct reply within 1 to 2 business days with a read on fit, scope, and what to ship first.
Have something to build?
