Service · Website Development

Websites built to rank and convert.

WordPress, Framer, Wix or Shopify. We build on the platform that fits your business and your team, with SEO structure, speed and mobile layouts in place from the first day, not bolted on after launch.

Why it hurts

Why so many local websites cost more than they earn.

A website is often a business's biggest marketing spend and its least measured one. It looks fine on launch day, then quietly loses rankings, visitors and leads. Four problems we see most.

01

Built for looks, not search

Beautiful pages with no structure Google can rank: one services page, no location pages, missing titles and schema.

02

Slow on phones

Oversized images, heavy themes and a pile of plugins. Most local visitors are on mobile, and many leave before the page loads.

03

Rankings lost in a redesign

A new site launched without redirects, so years of rankings and links pointed at pages that no longer exist.

04

Nobody can update it

The site is locked behind a developer, so prices, photos and services go stale because every change is a ticket.

Frequently asked

What owners ask about this.

Quick answers to the questions that come up while reading the list on the left.

Which platform should I choose?

It depends on what the site needs to do and who will update it. We recommend one after the first call, and explain why.

Can you move my site to a new platform?

Yes. We map every existing URL and set up redirects before launch, so the rankings you already have carry over.

Do I need a new website to work with you?

No. Many clients keep their current site and we improve it. A rebuild is only the right call when the platform is holding the business back.

Will I own the website?

Yes. The site, the domain and every account are in your name.

Why it works

Built by people who do SEO every day.

Most web designers hand over a site and move on; SEO comes later, from someone else, who then has to undo half of it. We build with the search work already planned: the pages your customers search for, the structure Google reads, and the speed that keeps visitors on the page.

We choose the platform with you. WordPress suits content-heavy sites and blogs. Framer suits design-led marketing sites. Wix suits owners who want to edit everything themselves. Shopify is the choice for selling online.

Before launch we map every old URL to its new home, test every form and call button on a phone, and set up analytics so you can see what the site brings in from week one.

What's included

Five deliverables, one launch.

What every website project covers, whichever platform it is built on.

01

Platform recommendation

WordPress, Framer, Wix or Shopify, chosen for what the site needs to do and who will update it.

02

Custom design

A design built around your services and customers, not a template with your logo dropped in.

03

SEO structure

Service and location pages, titles, headings, schema and internal links planned before a single page is built.

04

Speed & mobile

Optimized images, lean code and layouts tested on real phones, so pages load fast where your customers are.

05

Migration & redirects

Every old URL mapped and redirected, so existing rankings and links carry over to the new site.

Timeline

From first call to launch, in four stages.

Every build follows the same stages. How long each takes depends on the size of the site, and you get the dates in writing before we start.

  1. Week 1

    Discovery

    A call about your services, customers and goals, then a review of your current site and rankings.

  2. Stage 2

    Plan & design

    Platform choice, sitemap and page plan built around search, then designs for your approval.

  3. Stage 3

    Build

    Pages built on the chosen platform, with copy, schema, forms and analytics set up and tested.

  4. Launch

    Launch & handoff

    Redirects live, pages submitted to Google, and your team trained to update the site.

Industry-specific

Websites, tailored to your industry.

A remodeler needs galleries and quote forms; a pool company needs service areas and seasonal pages. Each industry page shows the structure we build for that vertical.

Which platform should I choose?

WordPress suits content-heavy sites and blogs, Framer suits design-led marketing sites, Wix suits owners who want to edit everything themselves, and Shopify is the choice for selling online. We recommend one after the first call.

Can you move my existing site to a new platform?

Yes. We map every existing URL and set up redirects before launch, so the rankings you already have carry over to the new site.

How long does a build take?

It depends on the number of pages and features. You get a timeline in writing with the quote, before work starts.

Do you write the content?

We can. Most clients have us write the service and location pages, since that copy is written for search as much as for visitors.

What happens after launch?

You own the site and can update it yourself. Many clients continue with Local SEO so the new site keeps climbing; that is optional.

Do I need a new website to work with you?

No. Many engagements start with your existing site. A rebuild is only the right call if your current platform is actively fighting the SEO work.
