Speed data sourced from Google PageSpeed Insights audits of 12 Alaska agency client sites, Jul 2025. Serving Alaska statewide, East Coast, and West Coast clients.
Speed Guarantee
If your site doesn't score 90 or higher on Google's official speed test at launch, we fix it at no charge — no questions asked.
We Answer the Phone
We are in Anchorage, Alaska. Not a call center. Not an out-of-state agency. When you call, Kevin picks up.
We Don't Leave
Most Alaska websites are built by Outside agencies who disappear after launch. We've been here 20+ years and we're not going anywhere.
Maintenance-Free
Sites we build require zero monthly plugin updates, zero database backups, and zero risk of breaking while you sleep.
20+ Years. One Market. Alaska.
No outside agency can replicate
two decades inside this state.
We've shot on the Kenai, worked with Alaska Native Corporations, built for energy companies on the Slope, and driven the Parks Highway to photograph lodges that Google Maps hasn't found yet. That's not a resume line — it's the difference between a site that looks Alaskan and one that actually is.
Platform Ecosystem
We build on every major platform.
One is clearly superior.
Cloudflare + Static
Our signature architecture. Zero-egress edge delivery, perfect Lighthouse scores, and near-zero hosting costs. Built for permanence.
WordPress
Maximum editorial flexibility. Best for content-heavy sites, multi-author workflows, and plugin-driven feature sets.
Shopify
Purpose-built commerce. Inventory, checkout, shipping, and payment processing handled end-to-end by Shopify's infrastructure.
Squarespace

Performance Guarantee

Why We Are The Best
The Alaska Web Standard.
20 Reasons to Choose FOURAK.
A website isn't just code — it's the digital flagship of your brand. We design with rigorous precision, local awareness, and performance metrics that local firms simply can't touch.
100/100 Lighthouse Performance
We don't settle for 'good enough'. Our Cloudflare static configurations are architected to hit absolute perfect scores on Google's performance audits.
Sub-50ms Time to First Byte
By utilizing Cloudflare's edge caching network, we deliver the initial HTML response near-instantly, dropping delay times to fractions of a second.
True Zero-Egress Architecture
We host high-resolution images, videos, and complex scripts via a global delivery network with zero bandwidth-egress fees, saving you hundreds in hosting costs.
Static-First Durability
No databases to query on page load, no PHP servers to stall. Your site exists as pre-rendered files that stay fast under any traffic surge.
Platform-Agnostic Sovereignty
We build flawlessly on WordPress, Shopify, Squarespace, Wix, or custom web builds. We don't force you into a box; we build what fits your business.
WordPress Hardening & Speed
Traditional WordPress sites are notorious for bloat. We optimize theme files, compile stylesheets, and cache aggressively to bypass standard WordPress speed traps.
Shopify Custom Integration
We build lightning-fast Shopify storefronts that handle thousands of products, custom variants, and third-party inventory syncs without slowing down.
Squarespace Code Upgrades
We can strip the templates down and inject highly optimized CSS/JS into Squarespace, elevating simple brochure sites to enterprise-quality layouts.
Wix Engine Optimization
Wix sites can suffer from deep visual nesting. We optimize standard Wix visual grids, reduce script overhead, and clean up asset pathways to maximize score metrics.
Built for Rural connectivity
We optimize all media assets for low-bandwidth rural connections (GCI, ACS, Starlink) so your site loads beautifully even in remote communities.
Absolute Geographic Precision
No fake address markers or default pins. We cross-reference maps with exact GPS coordinates for lodges, base camps, guides, and retail fronts.
Curated AI & Custom Imagery
We synthesize and scale high-fidelity AI-generated imagery and art direction to deliver premium, cost-effective visual assets tailored for your brand.
Local AKST Operations
We work on your time. No offshore delays, no waiting for European or Asian developer timezone shifts. We are anchored right here in Anchorage.
100% Repository Ownership
Your code, assets, and databases are stored in clean, version-controlled GitHub repositories. You own every single pixel and line of code.
Military-Grade WAF Setup
Every site we launch is protected by custom Cloudflare Web Application Firewall rules, stopping SQL injection, DDoS, and comment spam before it reaches you.
Automated Edge CI/CD
Whenever your site needs an update, we push it to Git and Cloudflare compiles the changes in seconds. Rollbacks to past versions take exactly one click.
Semantic HTML Structure
We use appropriate HTML5 landmark elements to give search engines perfect clarity on page hierarchy, boosting organic search relevance.
Zero CMS Maintenance Overhead
When we use performance-first web builds, there are no core files to update weekly, no databases to back up, and zero risk of your site breaking while you sleep.
Milestone-Driven Delivery
We structure projects with transparent payments and clear checkpoints. You sign off on visual layouts before a single line of production code is written.
Permanent Brand Credit
Every project we ship carries our standard signature footer link, showcasing your business as part of the state's highest-quality digital ecosystem.
Common Questions
Good questions deserve
straight answers.
What is FOURAK's hourly rate?
All design and creative work — photography, video production, graphic design, and web development — is billed at $250/hr. Most projects are scoped as fixed-price packages based on estimated hours, so you know the cost upfront before work begins.
What is the minimum project size?
Our Foundation tier starts at $3,500. For hourly consulting, editing, or retainer work, the minimum engagement is 4 hours ($1,000). Rush and after-hours projects carry a 1.5x rate premium.
Why is your recommended platform better?
Our performance-first web architecture is the only approach that consistently scores 100/100 on Google's speed audit, delivers sub-second page loads, and costs near-zero to host. No other platform comes close on raw performance.
Can I choose a different platform than what's listed for my tier?
Yes — platform is always a discussion. Our tiers reflect where each platform makes sense given budget and scope. If you have a strong preference, bring it up in your discovery call and we'll build accordingly.
Are these flat-rate prices?
These are starting investment points. Every project is scoped individually after a discovery call. Complexity, page count, integrations, and custom functionality all affect the final number.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. We structure projects in milestone-based payments: typically 40% at kickoff, 40% at prototype approval, and 20% at launch. Larger projects can be discussed on a case-by-case basis.
How long does a project take?
Foundation projects run 4–6 weeks. Standard projects run 6–10 weeks. Premium projects are scoped per timeline in discovery — typically 10–16 weeks. Rush timelines are available at a premium.
Do you work outside Anchorage or outside Alaska?
Yes — both. We cover the full state of Alaska with no location surcharge for production travel within our established regional footprint. We also work with clients Outside Alaska for branding, web, and remote production projects.
