Why Polaris

Why Polaris

The Polaris way vs. the usual agency

Same brief, two very different experiences. Here is what changes when you work with a studio built around accountability instead of billable hours.

The Polaris way

Recommended
  • A senior strategist owns your account from kickoff to launch.
  • Fixed-scope pricing agreed up front, with no surprise invoices.
  • Weekly working sessions where you see real progress, not status decks.
  • Production-ready design systems your team can extend on day one.
  • Performance baked in, so pages ship fast and rank well.
  • Thirty days of post-launch support to tune what real users do.

The usual agency

  • Your project is handed off to whoever is on the bench that week.
  • Open-ended hourly billing that quietly balloons past the estimate.
  • Monthly check-ins long on slides and short on shipped work.
  • Flat mockups dumped in a folder for your team to reverse-engineer.
  • Heavy, unoptimized builds that tank Core Web Vitals at launch.
  • Radio silence the moment the final invoice is paid.
About this block

Why PolarisPRO

A two-column comparison contrasting the Polaris way with a typical agency.

Agency19: Why Polaris

A two-column comparison that sets a highlighted "our way" column with check-marked rows against a muted "typical agency" column with dash-marked rows, closing with a centered CTA.

Base UI flavor

bash
npx shadcn add "https://ui.beste.co/r-base/agency19?email=YOUR_EMAIL&license_key=YOUR_KEY"

This installs the block to components/beste/block/agency19.tsx, the badge6 component it uses for the eyebrow, the button1 component it uses for the closing CTA, and its dependencies.

Quick start

The installed file exports agency19Demo alongside the block: the exact props behind the preview above. Spread it to get a working comparison section in one line.

tsx
import { Agency19, agency19Demo } from "@/components/beste/block/agency19";

export default function AboutPage() {
  return <Agency19 {...agency19Demo} />;
}

Then replace the demo with your own props. Written out, a trimmed setup looks like this:

tsx
import { Agency19 } from "@/components/beste/block/agency19";

export default function AboutPage() {
  return (
    <Agency19
      label="Why us"
      heading="Our way <strong>vs.</strong> the usual agency"
      description="Same brief, two very different experiences."
      polaris={{ title: "Our way", tag: "Recommended" }}
      polarisRows={[
        "A senior strategist owns your account from kickoff to launch.",
        "Fixed-scope pricing agreed up front.",
        "Weekly working sessions where you see real progress.",
      ]}
      typical={{ title: "The usual agency" }}
      typicalRows={[
        "Your project is handed off to whoever is on the bench.",
        "Open-ended hourly billing that quietly balloons.",
        "Monthly check-ins long on slides, short on shipped work.",
      ]}
      button={{ label: "Start a project", href: "https://beste.co" }}
    />
  );
}

Behavior notes

  • heading supports inline <strong> highlighting via dangerouslySetInnerHTML; highlighted text renders in text-primary.
  • The polaris column is visually distinguished with a border-2 border-primary outline and Check icons on filled bg-primary badges; the typical column uses a plain border, a bg-muted/30 fill, and Minus icons on bg-muted badges.
  • Both polaris and typical accept an optional tag pill next to the column title (the demo only sets one on polaris, but typical supports the same field).
  • polarisRows and typicalRows are independent arrays; they are not required to be the same length and render as two separate lists, not paired rows.
  • The CTA row only renders when button is passed.
