A focused preview proves the visual direction before you take on a payment commitment.

Preview depth changes by tier. Complex backends, real payments, and production integrations begin after agreement.

From a clean first site to the system behind the business.

Built to be understood

AEO-ready—not wrapped in guarantees.

STROOM builds a strong foundation for both search engines and AI answer systems. No honest provider can guarantee rankings, citations, or inclusion.

01Useful, first-hand content

Answer the questions real customers ask.

02Crawlable semantic HTML

Important information stays readable and well structured.

03Accurate structured data

Machine-readable facts match what people can see.

04Measurement and iteration

Observe discoverability and improve the weak points.

Proof under construction

Things already made. Case studies being made honest.

The projects below demonstrate range. Public links and client outcomes are only added after a security and permission check.

This gallery is designed to grow. Each future client preview or demo gets a safe public case-study entry here; private data and production controls stay private.

Provisional business plan

Build the engine while keeping the day job.

STROOM starts as a disciplined 20-hour-per-week studio. The objective is proof: repeatable delivery, paying subscribers, stronger case studies, and only then broader automation and AI work.

Now

Prove one repeatable offer

Sell and deliver the static website subscription without allowing previews or support to consume the week.

Target: first 3 subscribers

Month 6: NZ$1.5k–2.5k base revenue; NZ$4k stretch

Add process automation, local AI, and a carefully selected venture build when delivery and client care are stable.
