Website design
A website that works as hard as you do.
Your website is the one piece of marketing you own outright. We design it to load fast, read clearly on a phone and make the next step obvious — then we keep it running.
Overview
Fast, beautiful WordPress sites built to turn visitors into calls, bookings and orders.
Your website is the only marketing channel you own outright. Google, Meta and the booking engines rent you space; your site is yours. We build it to load fast, read clearly on a phone, rank well and make the next step obvious — then we keep it running so it never goes stale.
Design that earns trust in the first three seconds
Visitors decide whether you look credible before they read a word. We design around your real photography, your brand and the one thing you want each page to make someone do.
- Custom design, not a template with your logo swapped in
- Real photography direction, or a photo shoot brief for your phone
- A clear hierarchy: one headline, one promise, one next step
- Built in your brand colors and type, with a style guide you keep
- Accessible: readable contrast, keyboard navigation, alt text
Built on WordPress, so you're never locked in
WordPress runs over 40% of the web. You can edit it, any developer can work on it, and every plugin you'll ever need already exists. We build cleanly, without page-builder bloat.
- Block editor pages you can change yourself
- No proprietary builder — fast, standard, portable
- Booking engines, menus, inventory and e-commerce integrations
- Forms that email you and save a copy in the admin
- Your own hosting account and domain, in your name
Fast on a phone, where your customers are
More than 70% of local searches happen on a phone. A slow page costs you the visit. Every site we launch passes Google's Core Web Vitals on mobile.
- Mobile-first layouts, thumb-friendly tap targets
- Optimized images and lazy loading
- Target: under 2 seconds to interactive on 4G
- Caching, CDN and security hardening configured
- Tested on real phones, not just a resized browser
SEO built in from day one
A site that can't be found is a brochure. We structure every page for search and AI engines before launch so you don't pay twice.
- Keyword-mapped page structure and URLs
- Title tags, meta descriptions and heading hierarchy
- Schema markup for your business, services, menus and FAQs
- Google Search Console and Analytics set up and verified
- XML sitemap submitted; old URLs redirected on a rebuild
Care plan: updates, backups, security, small edits
A website is software. Plugins update, PHP versions change, forms break quietly. The care plan means someone is watching — and your small changes get done.
- Weekly plugin, theme and core updates on a staging copy first
- Daily off-site backups with one-click restore
- Uptime and malware monitoring with same-day response
- Up to 2 hours of content edits a month
- Quarterly speed and SEO health check

Ask our experts
FAQs on websites.
How long does a website take?
A launch site takes 2–3 weeks; a business site 3–5 weeks. Custom builds depend on the scope we agree in discovery. The most common delay is content — we help by writing it.
Do I own the website?
Yes. The domain, hosting account and WordPress site are yours. If you ever leave, you take everything with you.
Can you work with my existing site?
Often, yes. We'll audit it first and tell you plainly whether to rebuild or improve what you have.
What does hosting cost?
Good managed WordPress hosting runs $25–$40 a month, billed by the host to you. We'll recommend one and set it up.
Will my old Google rankings survive a rebuild?
Yes, if the redirects and page structure are handled properly — which is part of every rebuild we do.
Do you write the copy?
Yes. Business sites include copywriting for every page, from an interview with you and your existing materials.
