★ Why this matters

Speed is conversion. Ranking is traffic. Both compound.

Avg LCP we ship

Largest Contentful Paint under 2.5s is Google's threshold for 'good.' Our average ship is 1.8 seconds. Slow sites lose buyers.

Google · Core Web Vitals

Bounce when page > 3s

53 percent of mobile visitors abandon a site that takes longer than 3 seconds to load. Speed is conversion math.

★ Frequently asked

Straight answers on web + SEO.

How long does a website build take?

4-12 weeks depending on scope. Small marketing site (5-7 pages): 4-6 weeks. Mid-size with CMS + e-commerce: 8-10 weeks. Full custom platform with auth, dashboards, integrations: 12 weeks+. Free 15-minute call to scope exactly.

What platforms do you build on?

Depends on the use case. Astro for static-first marketing sites that need to be blazing fast. Next.js for app-heavy products. WordPress for clients who need easy daily editing and don't want a dev for every change. Shopify for ecom. We recommend the right tool, not the trendy one.

How does pricing work?

Every site is custom-scoped to page count, platform, feature complexity (CMS, e-commerce, integrations), and SEO foundation depth. We quote a fixed build fee once we know the scope, with optional ongoing SEO or care plan after launch. Free 15-minute call to scope yours.

Do you do ongoing SEO after launch?

Yes. Monthly retainers cover keyword tracking, content publishing, technical SEO monitoring, link building, and monthly reports. Scoped to your competitive landscape. Many clients bundle the website build with a 6-month SEO retainer.

Will my site be fast?

Yes. We aim for 95+ Lighthouse scores across Performance, Accessibility, Best Practices, and SEO on every build. Largest Contentful Paint under 2 seconds. Cumulative Layout Shift near zero. We test on real mobile devices, not just desktop.

Can I edit the site myself after launch?

Yes. Every site ships with a CMS your team can actually use (Sanity, WordPress, or Shopify depending on stack). We include training, video walkthroughs, and a 30-day post-launch support window for questions.

Do you migrate existing sites or only build new ones?

Both. Migrations from Wix, Squarespace, Hostinger, GoDaddy, or older WordPress are about 30% of our work. We handle 301 redirects, content transfer, SEO preservation, and DNS cutover so you don't lose ranking or traffic.
