Hey. We're Sam and Abdiel. We run Manta.
You've probably never heard of us. That's fine. Here's who you'd be working with if you call.
Two guys, Tampa via Long Island
We grew up on Long Island, around small businesses. Delis, landscapers, contractors, family restaurants. People who work weekends and answer their own phones.
Now we're in Tampa, and those are still our people. The owner on a mower who can't pick up. The crew lead getting quote requests at 9 pm. The restaurant losing orders during the lunch rush.
Who does the work
There's no team page full of stock photos here because there's no team to hide behind.
Sam builds every website personally. Every page, every form, every fix. Abdiel answers every call personally. When you call Manta, you get Abdiel, not a queue.
That's the whole company. And that's the point. Nothing gets handed off to a stranger, so nothing gets lost.
Household Spanish, not Duolingo Spanish
We're fully bilingual. Not "we have a translator" bilingual. Grew-up-speaking-it-at-the-table bilingual.
If you or your customers do business in Spanish, we can run the whole thing in Spanish. Calls, texts, the website, all of it.
Why we build your site before you pay
Here's the part that made us start Manta.
We kept watching owners pay agencies $3,000 for a template and a contract. The site went up late, looked like everyone else's, and the owner was locked in either way. Hate the site? Too bad. You already signed.
We think that's backwards. So we flipped it.
We build your website first. You see the real thing, working, before you pay anything. Love it? We launch. Don't? You walk, and we eat the hours. We carry the risk, not you.
It keeps us honest. If we build junk, we don't get paid. Simple.
What we're building toward
The website is just the front door. What we're really building is the system behind it: the thing that catches the call you missed, texts the customer back, books the job, and asks for the review.
Our goal is simple. When a local owner in Tampa needs their online side handled, start to finish, by real people who pick up the phone, we want to be the obvious call. In English or in Spanish.
That's it. That's the letter.
If any of this sounds like what you've been looking for, book a call. You'll talk to one of us. No script, no pressure.
Talk soon,
Sam, builds every site
Abdiel, answers every call
