A better way to build, manage, and support your website.

Most websites are treated like one-off projects. They launch, get handed off, and slowly fall behind until they eventually stop working properly. We take a different approach by staying involved after launch and keeping your site updated, monitored, and supported so it continues to work for your business well beyond launch.

Ready to upgrade to a high-performance, search-optimized website?

Our work includes custom web design, SEO-focused builds, and performance-driven layouts created to support real business goals. Each project balances thoughtful design, clean structure, and solid technical foundations so websites perform well in search and continue to work as they should.

Common Questions About Web Design, SEO, and Website Management

Can you redesign or take over my existing website to improve performance, SEO, and design? Yes. We take over WordPress, Shopify, and custom websites to fix issues, speed up page load, refresh design, and improve search visibility.

Read full answer
Yes. Many clients come to us with a website built by someone else that needs better results. We start with an audit of hosting, security, theme or apps, site structure, page speed, accessibility, and on-page SEO. Then we stabilize what works, remove bloat, and modernize the design for a faster, more usable, better converting website. A full rebuild is only recommended when it’s clearly the smarter investment. Most websites can be improved in place with a phased plan that delivers quick wins. We also set up analytics tracking so you can measure improvements in traffic, rankings, and conversions. Learn more about our website redesign approach and process, or explore Website Support, Maintenance & Security for ongoing care.

How much does it cost to build or manage a website? Custom website design and development starts around $4,500, with ongoing care plans from $79 per month.

Read full answer
Our website design packages are structured across three tiers so you can match the investment to your goals. Essential Website starts at $4,500, Growth Website starts at $12,500, and Advanced Website starts at $22,500. Each package includes custom WordPress design, responsive development, on-page SEO, and launch support. Higher tiers add more pages, product or catalog templates, enhanced forms, full eCommerce setup, brand refresh or rebrand, advanced SEO, and custom integrations. You can review package details and compare features on our Web Design & Development page. For ongoing care after launch, our Managed Services plans keep your site secure, updated, and optimized with backups, monitoring, and support tailored to your needs.

What’s included in website management or maintenance? Regular updates, backups, performance monitoring, and security protection are all part of our plans.

Read full answer
Our Website Support, Maintenance & Security plans cover everything needed to keep your website healthy and secure. Every plan includes updates, backups, malware protection, uptime monitoring, and performance optimization. Higher tiers add on-page SEO, monthly analytics reports, and dedicated content or edit time. We handle all the technical upkeep, including WordPress and plugin updates, PHP version management, security patches, and load speed improvements, so your team can focus on running the business while your website stays fast, safe, and visible in search.

Can you fix issues or errors on my existing website? Yes. We repair slow load times, broken layouts, plugin conflicts, and other technical problems that affect performance.

Read full answer
Yes. We troubleshoot and repair websites that aren’t working properly, whether you’re dealing with broken layouts, plugin conflicts, hosting issues, or security warnings. We specialize in resolving speed, performance, and functionality problems on WordPress, Shopify, and custom websites. We’ll audit your site to identify the root cause, fix or replace problem plugins, clean up code, and optimize load speed. If you’ve inherited a website that’s buggy or difficult to maintain, we can stabilize it and set you up with an ongoing Website Support & Maintenance plan.

How long does it take to design and build a website? Depending on the project’s size, content, and features, we can launch a new website within 6–12 weeks.

Read full answer
Many of our custom websites launch within 6 to 12 weeks. Timelines vary based on content readiness, feedback, and features such as eCommerce, custom functionality, or third-party integrations. Smaller websites can move quickly once the content is approved, while larger projects may require additional time for development, testing, and revisions. Before the project begins, we provide a detailed schedule outlining each phase, from design and development through testing and launch, so you always know what comes next. Learn more about our web design and development process and what to expect from kickoff to launch.

Do you work with WordPress, Shopify, or other website platforms? Yes. We specialize in WordPress and Shopify and also support select custom-built websites.

Read full answer
Yes. We build, manage, and optimize websites on WordPress and Shopify. We also support select custom or hybrid environments when they align with your goals. Our approach is to match the platform to your business needs, not force your website into a one-size-fits-all setup. Whether you need a fully custom WordPress site, a conversion-focused Shopify store, or help improving an existing setup, we make sure it’s fast, secure, and easy to manage. Explore our Website Design & Development services to see how we tailor each project.

Will I be able to update my website myself after it’s launched? Yes. Every website we build includes an easy-to-use content editor so you can make changes anytime.

Read full answer
Yes. Every website we build includes a visual editor that makes it easy to update text, swap images, or add new pages, no coding required. We also provide training to help you get comfortable managing your own content. If you’d rather stay focused on your business, we can manage everything for you through one of our Website Support & Maintenance plans, which include edits, updates, and monthly optimization.

Do I need ongoing website support after launch? Yes. Regular updates, security, and speed optimization keep your website running smoothly.

Read full answer
Yes. A live website still needs attention after launch to stay fast, secure, and reliable. Our Website Support, Maintenance & Security plans cover plugin and platform updates, backups, malware protection, and speed optimization. Staying on a managed plan ensures your site performs well in search and gives you peace of mind knowing everything behind the scenes is monitored and maintained.

Can you manage everything for me, or do I need to be involved in the website process? We handle design, development, hosting, SEO, and support—your involvement is as much or as little as you’d like.

Read full answer
We manage the entire process from strategy, design, and development to hosting, SEO, and ongoing support, while keeping you involved at key decision points. You’ll have input on goals, visuals, and content, but we handle the heavy lifting. If you prefer a hands-off experience, we can manage everything for you under a Website Support & Maintenance plan, ensuring your site stays updated, secure, and optimized.
