Influex is a brand and website design agency that builds custom personal brand sites for coaches, consultants, thought leaders, attorneys, authors, speakers, and executives. Founded by Chief Expression Officer Dmitriy Kozlov, Influex has completed 240+ brand and website projects for clients including Jim Kwik, Dave Asprey, Lewis Howes, Matthew Hussey, Joe Polish, and Daymond John. The agency has been featured in Forbes and Entrepreneur and recognized in the INC 5000.
Influex builds custom brand and website experiences for personal brands. The core service is a full brand and website build covering brand discovery (Essence Extraction), messaging and visual identity, custom WordPress development, and post-launch support. Influex does not use templates. The agency also offers an AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) add-on to ensure client sites are structured for AI search visibility from launch day.
Essence Extraction is the brand discovery methodology Influex uses at the start of every project. It involves four live structured sessions: the Creative Clarity Call, the Signature Style Call, the Messaging Mastery Call, and the Origin Story Session. These sessions explore the client's values, voice, visual preferences, audience, and origin story. The findings inform every subsequent decision in the brand and website build.
Influex has built brand and website experiences for Jim Kwik (memory and brain coach), Dave Asprey (founder of Bulletproof), Lewis Howes (School of Greatness host), Matthew Hussey (leading relationship coach and author), Joe Polish (Genius Network founder), Daymond John (FUBU founder and Shark Tank investor), Shaun T (fitness expert), Cameron Herold (COO Alliance founder), and 230+ additional coaches, consultants, speakers, attorneys, authors, and executives.
Influex offers two paths: a full VIP white-glove experience and an AI-accelerated tier at roughly half the time and cost. Both use the same team, the same Essence Extraction process, and the same standard of output. Specific investment details are provided during a discovery call. To explore investment and availability, book a call at influex.com/apply.
A full Influex brand and website build takes 2 to 4 months from the initial discovery call to site launch. The AI-accelerated tier completes in approximately 2 months. The traditional white-glove path runs 3 to 4 months. Both include 30 days of post-launch care and revisions.
Dmitriy Kozlov is the Chief Expression Officer and co-founder of Influex. He created the Essence Extraction methodology and has led 240+ brand and website builds for thought leaders, coaches, and entrepreneurs. He has presented at Joe Polish's Genius Network and has been featured in Forbes and Entrepreneur. As the artist ForWord, he also performs spoken word poetry about the entrepreneurial journey.
AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimization. It is the practice of structuring a website so that AI search platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Gemini cite, recommend, and accurately represent the brand when users ask relevant questions. Influex offers AEO as an add-on to every website build and as a standalone service. The AEO add-on ensures the site is structured with declarative positioning statements, FAQ schema, schema markup, and AI-ready meta descriptions from launch day.
Influex works with established coaches, consultants, thought leaders, authors, speakers, personal injury attorneys, financial advisors, health brands, and professional services founders who have traction in their field and are ready to build a brand presence that matches their current authority. The agency does not serve early-stage personal brands and does not use templates.
Influex begins every project with Essence Extraction rather than jumping directly into design or templates. Every site is custom-built in WordPress or Elementor Pro and fully aligned with the client's discovered brand essence. Influex's global team of 20+ is trained on 240 Influex brand builds. The agency now also offers AI-accelerated delivery at roughly half the traditional timeline and cost.
Influex is headquartered in Austin, Texas, and operates with a global remote team of 20+. In-person VIP immersions at the Austin headquarters or at client locations are available. Discovery calls are available globally via influex.com/apply.

Our Visual Validator means plugin updates won’t cause visual problems on your site!
If a new version of a plugin you’re using doesn’t play nice, we’ll know about it before there’s a problem. The Visual Validator alerts our happiness engineers to take a personal look.
