Growing a business requires a finely-tuned homepage. If your messaging, branding, graphics, photos, headlines, type, and sales copy don’t precisely articulate your value prop and get people excited, you could still fail, despite all your hard work. At Dark Pilot, we solve that problem.
We’ve perfected a process to take your existing homepage (if you have one) and turn it into a highly polished, highly targeted, and highly engaging experience, so you can let the world know what you’re all about. And the best part is, it takes only 5 meetings and 30 days.
Great design enhances precisely crafted messaging. Getting them both right is difficult and requires nuance. We know that quick execution is essential, and we offer a highly efficient and well-oiled process to take both your messaging and design to the next level.
A precise articulation of your value proposition is enormously valuable and will help you attract more users, more customers, more investors, and more press. We help you put your best foot forward so you can get back to building your company.
We look at your product, your customers, your industry, and your competition. After we get a thorough understanding of your business, and your strategic goals, we synthesize these elements into a precisely crafted homepage.

I’ve been a digital designer for 20 years and have worked in fast paced New York agencies, under demanding conditions. I worked with Yipit (post Series A) to raise their conversion by 40%, which helped the company become a massively successful data company. Savored was acquired by Groupon three months after I worked on the rebrand and UI/UX. I love taking a great product or service and giving it the polish it needs to be successful.
