Why Your Site Matters

A slow, confusing site is costing you money every single day

Every extra second your site takes to load, 10% of visitors bounce. If your homepage doesn't tell a buyer what you do, where you do it, and how to book you within 5 seconds — they're gone, and the ad or SEO dollar that brought them there is gone with them.

Your website is your best salesperson — it works 24/7/365, never has a bad day, and talks to every single person who searches you. The question is whether it's a great salesperson or a terrible one.

We build sites that do the work: load instantly, explain the offer, build trust, and make booking dead simple. Then we instrument them so you can see exactly where leads come from.

What's Included

Everything your site needs to book more jobs

We don't sell websites, we sell lead machines. Every pixel, every page, every line of code is built around one goal: turn a stranger into a paying customer.

100% Custom Design

No templates, no drag-and-drop cookie cutters. Every site is designed from scratch around your brand, your services, and the exact customer you're trying to reach.

Blazing-Fast Performance

90+ PageSpeed scores on mobile and desktop. Optimized images, minified code, smart caching, and a CDN-first architecture. Your site loads before competitors' are done with their logo.

Mobile-First Everything

70% of your traffic is on a phone. We design for that screen first — giant tap targets, sticky call buttons, one-scroll conversions — then scale up to desktop.

SEO Built In From Day One

Proper heading structure, schema markup, optimized URLs, XML sitemaps, robots.txt, Core Web Vitals — everything Google looks at is handled before launch, not as an afterthought.

Conversion Tracking

Every form, every call, every direction click tracked and piped into Google Analytics 4 and Meta. You'll know exactly which page, post, or ad is making you money.

Hosting, Domain & Ongoing Support

We handle hosting, SSL, backups, security patches, and any change you need — new pages, new copy, new offers — included in your plan. You focus on the business, not the backend.

Every Site Includes

Every deliverable, spelled out

No vague "we'll handle it" promises. Here's exactly what lands in your hands — or on your domain — when we launch.

Up to 10 custom pages — home, services, locations, about, contact, and more
Custom design mockup before a single line of code is written
Copywriting on every page — we write the words that sell, not just wireframes

Questions

Web design, answered honestly

How long does a website really take?

If you've got your content ready, we can launch a basic 5–7 page site in 24–72 hours. A full custom site with copywriting, photography, and deep SEO setup takes 1–3 weeks. The 3-month "custom website" timeline most agencies quote is mostly padding and project-management overhead.

Do I own my site?

Yes — 100%. Your domain, your code, your content. If you ever want to leave, you take it all with you. Some agencies lock you into proprietary platforms you can't export from. We don't.

What if I already have a website?

Two options. (1) If it's on a modern stack and just needs a facelift, we can redesign without rebuilding — faster and cheaper. (2) If it's on an outdated platform (old WordPress, Wix, GoDaddy Builder) that's slow or impossible to optimize, a rebuild pays for itself. Free audit first, then we recommend.

Can I edit it myself?

Yes. We build on a simple CMS — you can change text, photos, and add pages without touching code. For anything bigger (new sections, integrations, landing pages) it's usually faster to just ask us, since it's included in ongoing support.

What's included in ongoing support?

Hosting, SSL, backups, security patches, uptime monitoring, and small content changes (new services, new photos, copy tweaks, a new location page) — all included in your monthly plan. Major new features or redesigns are quoted separately.

Can you migrate me from WordPress / Wix / Squarespace?

Yes. We handle the full migration — content, images, SEO redirects, domain transfer — so you don't lose rankings, links, or traffic. Most migrations take 5–7 days.

What does it cost?

One-time build + monthly hosting/support. Builds typically range from $2,500–$8,000 depending on pages, complexity, and integrations. Monthly is $150–$400 depending on support tier. Compare that to a $6K Wix agency site that takes 3 months — ours ships in a week and actually ranks.
