About
Built by an operator who learned to build.
Not a tight-jeans agency. Forty years selling home improvement — then the same business judgment applied to websites, AI, and local search.
Kip Lee ran Coastal Empire Exteriors in Savannah — sunrooms, windows, exteriors — through two Inc. 500 honors, five straight years on the Qualified Remodeler Top 500, and a cover feature in Replacement Contractor (September 2003). Nearly $7M documented at peak. Thousands of in-home sales appointments over four decades.
997Website is what happens when that operator gets tired of watching contractors pay $30K for templates and hostage CMS contracts.

I started in Charlotte in 1986 — structured training, one-call close discipline. The technology changed. The human didn't. Business diagnosis before technology is still how every 997 site gets built.
I hated giving advertisers money and not knowing which half worked. 997Website tracks what compounds — SavKim is the proof: page-one Google, $0 ad spend, real Search Console numbers.
The digital front door your business deserves — without the agency price tag.
