# Recursive Universal Connects > Recursive Universal Connects (RU Connects, ruconnects.com) is a contractor-owned technical infrastructure agency. We build custom websites, lightweight web apps, AI chatbots, AI agents and automation, and code-driven motion graphics for small and growing businesses. Clients own what we build, with no monthly or yearly fees to us after the project is done. The first consultation is free. ## Services - Custom websites: hand-written in Next.js, React and TypeScript, with SEO, GEO (generative engine optimization) and motion built into the code, including robots.txt, sitemap and structured data. Secure Stripe payments when needed. Deployed on Cloudflare with DNS configured so the domain stays secure and online. No annual fee to us; the client pays only for their own domain and any provider usage. - Website improvement and maintenance: better design, speed, mobile experience and functionality for existing sites, plus ongoing maintenance on request. - Motion graphics written in code: explainer, kinetic, cinematic and editorial videos. - Lightweight web apps: booking tools, client portals, internal dashboards. - AI chatbots: grounded in the business's own information, on the website or messaging channels, with human handoff. - AI agents and automation: contextual prompts, connected to existing tools, plus training on AI-powered workflows. ## Team Engineers holding Google and AWS certifications. ## Pricing - No fixed rate. The first question we ask is: "What's your budget for executing a project like this for your business?" The scope is shaped around that budget. - Past projects ranged from $400 to $1,500 (USD). - Women-owned businesses receive a 25% to 44.44% discount, depending on project scope. - Free consultation. - No recurring fees to us after handoff. Domain, hosting usage, Stripe processing and AI providers bill the client directly. ## Why not Wix, Squarespace or Shopify We don't use site builders that charge every month without dynamic scaling. We build custom solutions the client owns, protecting their data sovereignty and control over their technology. ## Work we have done - LP Creative Service, U.S. Virgin Islands: business growth systems for Virgin Islands brands. https://www.lpcreativeservice.com/ Project value $600. - Beunec, NB, USA: research and deployment organization for agentic systems. https://beunec.co Project value $1,500. - Oniya Studios, New Jersey: wedding, engagement and portrait photography studio. https://oniyastudios.com Project value $900, client paid $500. - Time 2 Time Service, London, UK: person-centred care company. https://time2timeservice.com/ Project value $600. - Sincerely Grey, Newark, NJ: natural small-batch body care with herbs from Togo. https://sincerelygrey.com Project value $900, client paid $750. - Gemistry Beauty, NB, USA: woman-owned makeup artistry by Gemima. https://gemistrybeauty.com Project value $950, client paid $750. - Beunec Consulting, Maplewood, NJ: strategic guidance and transformation consultancy. https://beuneconsulting.com Project value $900. - SAGE-Commons, New York, USA: deterministic verification engine for statistical claims. https://sage.soculink.com/ Project value $1,000. - 1 Over 1 Clothing, North Elizabeth, NJ: premium streetwear fusing West African heritage and North American street style. https://www.1over1clothing.com/ Project value $400. ## Links - Home: https://ruconnects.com/ - Services: https://ruconnects.com/#services - Work: https://ruconnects.com/#work - Pricing: https://ruconnects.com/#pricing - Women-owned discount: https://ruconnects.com/#women-owned - FAQ: https://ruconnects.com/#faq
