# Squall Studio **A sudden force that transforms the landscape.** A creative + agentic studio. We build cinematic websites and deploy AI automation for businesses that refuse to blend in. Contact: hello@squall.studio · Studio: New York, NY · Social: [@squallstudio](https://twitter.com/squallstudio) --- ## What we build Squall is a creative studio and an agentic automation studio sharing the same door. Hire one, or both. Most clients end up doing both. That's the point. ### Creative Studio: Websites that move Cinematic hero sequences, video-first storytelling, editorial typography. Built with proprietary tools across cinematic video, motion, and a custom HTML/CSS stack. No SaaS ceiling. - Brand and visual identity - Cinematic hero video production - Full site design and build - Motion and scroll-driven interactions - Launch support and iteration ### Agentic Studio: Agents that work If it's repetitive, it belongs to a machine. We audit your operation, identify the bleeders, and deploy AI agents to take them over. Humans in the loop, not out of it. - Workflow audit and opportunity map - Agent design and deployment - CRM, inbox, and scheduling automation - Internal tools and dashboards - Monthly ops and tuning retainer --- ## How Squall works Most agencies build sites that look like every other agency's. Most automation studios deploy systems that feel like every other system's. Squall builds craft that's unmistakably yours, so your brand can't be confused with anyone else's, online or in operation. The edge is the work. 1. **Discovery.** We listen. Audit what you have. Find the angle nobody else is taking. 2. **Build.** Design and code happen in parallel. Cinematic visuals, custom front end, agent infrastructure scoped to where it actually moves the needle. 3. **Activate.** Soft launch with hooks live: forms, automation, AI agents, agent-ready metadata. Real-world feedback from week one. 4. **Compound.** Monthly ops keep the system tuning itself. Sites get faster, agents get smarter, the edge sharpens while you focus on running the business. --- ## Agent-readiness Every Squall site ships with the technical layer that lets AI assistants find, read, and recommend your business. When a customer asks ChatGPT to find a landscaper, an insurance broker, or a contractor, most websites are invisible. We build sites AI agents can actually see, read, recommend, and transact with. ### Discoverable - `llms.txt`: machine-readable site index - AI bot allow-rules in `robots.txt` - Sitemap and structured discovery headers (HTTP `Link: rel="describedby"`) - Schema.org structured data (Organization, Service, FAQPage, CreativeWork) ### Signals you control - Content Signals: search, ai-input, ai-train per Cloudflare spec - Per-bot allow and deny rules - Licensing-aware crawl policies - Crawl-rate signals where it matters ### Built for agents - Markdown content negotiation at `/index.md` - MCP server card at `/.well-known/mcp.json` with agent skills - Agent skill descriptors for discovery and booking - Open transaction protocols (roadmap: x402, ACP) Already have a site? We audit and remediate. From "Not Ready" to a perfect score in a week. --- ## Selected work ### Agentic Insurance Cinematic brand site with AI workflow positioning.

No deck, no pitch. Just an honest conversation. By the end you'll know whether Squall's the right fit. **What's the typical timeline?** Cinematic websites: 4 to 6 weeks from kickoff to launch. Agent-Ready upgrades on existing sites: about a week. AI automation builds: scoped per project, typically 2 to 8 weeks per agent depending on complexity. **Do you require contracts or retainers?** Project work is fixed-fee with a kickoff payment and a launch payment. Ongoing operations (Squall Ops) is monthly with no minimum term. Leave whenever you stop seeing value. **Do I have to choose between Creative and Agentic?** No, and most clients don't. The two halves compound: a cinematic site that converts paired with AI agents handling the back-end means leads come in AND get worked without you in the loop. **What if I already have a website?** We audit it honestly. Sometimes a redesign makes sense. Sometimes an Agent-Ready upgrade is enough. We tell you which, even when "don't redesign" is the answer that pays us less. **Can you work with my existing tech stack?** Yes. We deploy where you are: WordPress, Squarespace, Webflow, Shopify, custom code. Squall does not require a hosting takeover to deliver the work. **How is Squall different from a typical agency?** Most agencies build a website. Most automation shops deploy a workflow. Squall does both, by design, because the site that catches a lead is wasted if the operation behind it can't handle the lead. We build the whole edge. **How do I get started?** Send a note to hello@squall.studio. Tell us what's stuck. We come back within 48 hours. --- ## Manifesto A squall is a sudden force. It doesn't announce itself. It arrives. And by the time it's passed, the landscape looks different than it did. That's the kind of studio we wanted to build. Not a vendor that ships and vanishes. Not an agency that bills by the hour while nothing compounds. A force, creative on one side, agentic on the other, that touches your business and leaves it transformed.
