One desktop.
The whole
agency loop.
Every solo operator running a website agency stitches together seven disconnected tools — then spends every week reconciling the gaps. BE1st is one desktop application that runs the entire loop: find, build, pitch, close, collaborate, ship. Your LLC, your Stripe, your domain. Claude wired into every step.
One closed client pays for ~6 months of the all-in monthly run.
before any savings argument: this is what closing a single standard build returns.
Standard build sells all-in for year one: site, admin, native payments and bookings, hosting, domain, on-call updates. Complex builds scope up. Year 2 recurring runs $1,500–$2,500/yr. One sale = ~6 months of your combined $499/mo fixed cost paid in full.
The Claude Max subscription is mandatory — every generation, edit, and audit runs through your own CLI. You pay Claude $100/mo directly, not BE1st. BE1st annual prepay returns ~1–2 months of credit value, effectively covering 1–2 months of your Claude bill.
An integrated operating loop, not feature soup.
Find prospects with a real scoring engine. Pitch with a working site, not a Figma frame. Close with auto-generated agreements named to your LLC. Collaborate through a client portal, not an email thread. Ship through a one-click pre-launch sweep.
Scout Pro — a scored prospect engine, not a list.
0–100 quality score per business. 9 trades × 7 metros × no-site flag × pitched-tracking. Map view, sweep history, API access. One sweep returns 30 scored leads with phone numbers.
Command Center — a playbook with audit gates.
Every project ships through the same eight-step playbook. Right pane is an AI command palette with buttons labeled Inward Method, Latest practices, Wiring audit, A11y pass — visible standards no other platform has named.
A cold email with a working site inside it.
Form on the left, fully rendered email + working site preview on the right, debounced 300ms. Type the rate — offer line re-renders. The follow-up portal-invite composes itself when they reply.
One modal composes email, Stripe link, and legal agreement.
Same modal generates the offer email, the Stripe checkout link, AND the build agreement — your real LLC name, mailing address, payment schedule, late-payment clause. Installment tracker auto-syncs from Stripe via webhook.
The client gets a product surface, not an email thread.
Client side: private portal with "tell your team" wishes (⚡ badges route to the agent), live preview, conversation. Your side: 3-pane consultant copilot — project files, deliverable viewer with versioning, embedded Claude terminal. Plus a 23-item industry-aware deliverable library Claude-composes per engagement.
Before-flip discipline as buttons.
Pre-launch sweep: Security · SEO · A11y · Wiring · Run Full Sweep. Deploy lane: Stage / Prod / Custom with one-click promote. Sources include Pull from Instagram. Custom domain configured on signing day.
Named work, in production.
current accounts — what the operator is running today across industries where the work has shipped or is shipping.
Real sites. Real clients. In production.
not templates — fully generated React sites, branded per engagement, live on their own domains.
Pitch with a working site. Pay for hosting only after they sign.
the structural cost advantage every competitor structurally lacks.
Every BE1st-generated site renders on the operator's laptop and is exposed to the public internet through a Tailscale funnel — a stable URL the prospect interacts with from their phone in the cold pitch email. No deploy. No Vercel. No Railway. $0 hosting cost during pitch.
Webflow requires hosting from minute one. Squarespace requires an active sub for live preview. BE1st pitches with a real working URL while you've spent zero. Railway provisioning only happens after the client closes — and the cost moves to their recurring tier. The operator never pays infrastructure for a prospect who never converted.
