I'm running a solar PV engineering firm that focuses on both commercial and utility-scale project design, as well as EPC support. Our current website is not meeting our needs and is costing us potential leads, so we're looking to hire a web studio for a full rebuild. We have a moderate budget, so we're not after an agency-of-record, but we also don't want to just settle for the cheapest option available. We need a serious, professional approach here.
What we're looking for includes a B2B or industrial portfolio (it would be a bonus if the studio has experience in cleantech or engineering projects), true understanding of SEO—like knowing site structure and Core Web Vitals, not just adding meta tags—use of a modern stack with a CMS that we can easily use to publish our case studies, and clear pricing along with a transparent process.
If you have any recommendations for studios you've actually worked with and would hire again, please share what they did well, where they fell short, and roughly how much you paid. I'd prefer names that aren't just from a generic list. Thanks for the help!

Honestly, I think going the AI route is the way to go now. With tools like Claude, you can whip up a website pretty quickly—like in a day! But keep in mind there's a big difference between AI-generated content and a human touch, especially for something as sensitive as your own website if you have confidential stuff to protect.
You might want to check out techguyswhogetmarketing.com. They've worked on some solid projects in the past. I had a good experience with them, but I'm curious if anyone else has firsthand insight about their work.
Thanks for the tip! Have you personally worked with them? What was your experience like?
I get that. We're definitely looking for that human touch too to avoid any potential pitfalls!
