How it works

From signup to live site, we handle the hard parts.

  1. Learn your catalog, missions, and compliance requirements

    You walk us through your product lines, the use cases your customers shop for, and the shipping or compliance rules that apply to your catalog. We map a site structure organized by mission, not just category.

  2. Build a mission-organized site with honest specs

    We build your mission-based merchandising, spec sheet product pages, compliance notes, and membership program pages, all in your first draft.

  3. Launch with SEO for gear searches

    Your site goes live built to a 90+ Lighthouse target (typical builds clear it; specific scores vary by content and integrations), with the technical groundwork for ranking in place for searches like "tactical gear store near me" and the mission-specific gear searches your customers actually type.

  4. Update it yourself, or just send a ticket

    A restock, a new drop, or an updated compliance note: update it yourself in your WorkspaceCMS dashboard in minutes. Rather not do it yourself? Send a ticket and our team makes the change for you, on every plan. Want our team actively managing your drops and gear guides on an ongoing basis? Ask about the managed add-on.

Managed platform

When something breaks, you do not go looking for a developer

On WordPress and other open platforms, the host blames the plugin, the plugin blames the theme, and everyone tells you to hire someone. There is no one whose job it is to fix your site. Here there is exactly one, and fixing it is not a line item.

What is covered: anything that breaks on our side. The platform, the hosting, the code, the templates, security patches.

What is not: brand-new work such as a new integration, a new template, or a redesign, and outages at a vendor you own such as your registrar or your MLS feed. Those get scoped and quoted.

See exactly what is included

New: lead generation

We host it, we optimize it, and now we help bring the leads in

Our lead generation tool, Signal, reads public conversations on Reddit, community forums, YouTube, LinkedIn and X, finds people asking for what you sell, and puts them in your dashboard while the conversation is still live, with a note on why each one is worth a reply. It never posts or messages anyone for you.

An add-on for Growth, Premium and Ultra, not part of the plan price. Your first scan is free. After that it is $20 a scan, or 15 scans for $249/mo.

See how lead generation works

Enterprise is a different process: full custom design, Figma mockups first, and a dedicated project manager from kickoff to launch. See Enterprise, from $999/mo →

Billed monthly (annual optional). Free site build included. See full pricing details →

AI features use AI Credits from your plan’s monthly allowance, and each AI action shows its cost before you run it. Anything you do by hand, without AI, doesn’t use credits. See the AI Credit Schedule.

FAQ

Questions,
answered.

What does mission-based merchandising mean in practice?

Instead of forcing customers through a generic category tree, the site organizes gear by use case: range day, everyday carry, hunting season, duty gear. A customer outfitting for a specific mission lands on a curated kit page with everything they need in one place, which converts better and raises average order value.

How does the site handle shipping restrictions and compliance?

We build plain-English compliance and shipping-restriction notes into the product pages themselves, so a customer knows before checkout whether an item ships to their state. That clarity prevents canceled orders and chargebacks, though for the specifics of what rules apply to your catalog, you'll want your own legal guidance, since regulations vary by state and product type.

Does this work for shops that sell firearms?

This build is designed for gear and apparel retailers: packs, plate-carrier-adjacent apparel, optics accessories, and outdoor/duty gear. Firearms and ammunition retail involves FFL workflows, payment-processor restrictions, and regulatory requirements that are a different project entirely, and our demo catalog deliberately carries neither.

Is a membership program worth featuring?

For gear shops, yes. Repeat buyers are the business. We build a membership page with visible tiers and benefits, including the LE/military/first-responder programs many gear shops offer, so your best customers have a structured reason to keep buying from you instead of a marketplace.

How do independent gear shops rank against the big outdoor retailers?

No one can guarantee a specific ranking against national retailers with far larger footprints. What we build is the technical groundwork for ranking: fast, well-structured pages, code that tells Google what you sell and where, and gear-guide content targeting the mission-specific searches like "first range bag" and "cold-weather hunting layers," where a specialist consistently outranks a generalist.

How fast does the site launch?

Most gear shop sites launch within a few business days of completing intake, built to a 90+ Lighthouse target (typical builds clear it; specific scores vary by content and integrations). If you're targeting a hunting season or holiday window, flag your timeline early and we'll prioritize accordingly. Any 12-month plan includes the full site build at no extra cost.

Is WorkspaceCMS just a website builder?

No. We're a growth agency. We start by building your gear shop site for free, designed by an SEO agency working since 2012. When you're ready to win more customers, a growth campaign puts a full team to work on your content, SEO, and AI visibility.
