How We Build

Too much of the web is slow, insecure, and hard to use. Let’s build a better website and make it stunning, secure, and fast.

Building a better website begins with a holistic approach to design. We will work closely with your team to ensure branding, design, and usability come together in a unique and impactful way.

  • Backend: Having a beautiful website will only take you so far. It has to be easy to use. We build our sites on WordPress, the world’s most popular CMS. WordPress makes it super easy for you and your team to update your pages, create new blog posts, and much more.
  • Accessibility: We create fully accessible website experiences for users of all abilities, including those who rely on assistive technologies like screen readers, and screen enlargement software.
  • SEO: What good is a website if no one can find it? Along with building your site with SEO performance in mind, we also provide tools like Yoast, which enable easy SEO management over all your content.

Let’s build a better website. One that incorporates multiple layers of security features, along with frequently patched software and plugins.

Dedicated Servers

Your website is hosted on its own dedicated server. Your data is always under your control and is never shared or owned by anyone else.

End-to-end Encryption

Your site is secured with end-to-end encryption, keeping your content and users safe by encrypting traffic from the user all the way to your web server and back.

Robust Firewalls

Your content is protected by network and application firewalls, automatically blocking sketchy bots and bad actors.

Site Health Checks

Like a heartbeat monitor, we check your site every 5 minutes to ensure it stays healthy. Checks analyze uptime, connection quality, domain and SSL status, and much more.

Malware Prevention

We continuously check for the presence of dangerous malware or common vulnerabilities, squashing potential infections before they turn ugly.

Regular Updates

The web is always evolving. Your site will stay safe with the latest plugin versions, security patches, and core infrastructure updates. All done for you automatically

A quick website means your users spend less time waiting for pages and content to load, and more time engaging with your site.

Designed for Speed

Make a great first impression. Users judge a website in 2-3 seconds. A slow and inefficient website will leave a bad taste in their mouth, while a blazing fast site conveys trust and professionalism.

We incorporate performance into every aspect of your site’s technology, design, and user experience.

Avoid the Bounce

40% of visitors will leave a page if it takes longer than 3 seconds to load. Those kinds of bounce rates directly lead to missed user interactions and lost revenue.

We use multiple layers of caching and image optimization to keep your site super fast, even on sites with lots of traffic, images or products.

Rocket your SEO

Website performance isn’t just about your human visitors. Quality performance has a direct impact on your search engine visibility.

Search engines like Google prioritize fast-loading websites in search results. We analyze the speed of every page and piece of content on your site to keep rankings high. We regularly monitor your site’s overall performance using Lighthouse.
