05section.why

Why this works

  • SEO first

    Structure, page names, and copy are planned around the searches that bring customers, before design starts.

  • Conversion paths designed in

    Every page has a next step: call, book, quote, or buy. Forms and buttons sit where the reader is ready for them.

  • Mobile first

    Designed on a phone screen first, because that is where most visitors are. Desktop is the wider version.

  • Fast by default

    No page builders and no plugin stack, so the site is fast on a phone and stays that way after launch.

  • Easy to edit

    Text, images, hours, and services change without code. You are shown how before handoff.

  • You own everything

    The code, the domain, and the hosting are in your name from day one. Leave whenever you like and take it all with you.

07section.how

How it works

  1. 01

    Discovery and brief

    One conversation about your business, your customers, and what the site has to do. You get a written brief with the page list.

  2. 02

    Structure and copy

    The pages are mapped to the searches that matter and the copy is written. You review it before anything is designed.

  3. 03

    Build on a staging URL

    The site is built on a private address you can open on any device. You see it as it comes together.

  4. 04

    Review and revisions, one to three rounds by build

    You go through the staging site and send changes as one list. They are made, and the site is ready to launch.

  5. 05

    Launch with redirects and a post-launch check

    Old URLs redirect, tracking goes live, and the site goes up. Two weeks later I check speed, indexing, and forms.

09section.faq

Frequently asked questions

Astro, Shopify, or stay on WordPress?

Shopify if you sell online, because checkout, payments, and inventory are solved there. Astro for everything else: it is fast, has nothing to update, and can be hosted anywhere. Staying on WordPress makes sense when a large site is already working; then the job is fixing it.

How long does it take?

Two to four weeks for a complete site built end to end, from brief to launch. Updating a site that already exists is quicker. Larger sites with many pages or a portal take longer, and the brief says so before work starts.

What happens to my old URLs?

Every old URL redirects to its replacement, mapped before launch. Rankings and links carry over. I check Search Console after launch to confirm nothing dropped.

What happens after launch?

A post-launch check at two weeks: speed, indexing, forms, tracking. After that the site is yours to edit. Ongoing work is a separate plan, and nothing is required.

Is this the same build as the free rebuild on the Growth and Superior plans?

Yes, the same build. On those plans it is included and built first, as the foundation, with the search work continuing around it. Those plans run three months minimum.
