Web Design & Build Services

Professional custom designed websites that can grow with your business.

Every website we build begins with our ‘foundation’ – a professional-grade website with a lot of extra and invisible benefits.

We can add as many pages or features as you like, but the core elements we start with are the same best-in-class theme, plugins, and security features every time.

Consider bundling your website with a maintenance package and some basic but critical SEO setup.

Website technology changes fast and when the various pieces get updates, they sometimes doesn’t work with other pieces. You should budget for some maintenance, either preventative or troubleshooting.

Preventative maintenance package: This is highly recommended to keep downtime and repair costs down. We run updates, actively block and scan for malware with WordFence Premium, make sure WordPress is running the latest version, and check on the status of all links. We monitor uptime, and we also send monthly reports on website stats and Google Analytics.

Get all the details about our maintenance package on our services page.

Hourly Maintenance: If you’d prefer not to subscribe to the ongoing maintenance package, and something does go wrong, we will always happily work on the websites we’ve built. If the site gets infected with malware, or something breaks or there’s an issue or error, we will be able to fix it quickly and efficiently since we’ve got a deep understanding of the site architecture and construction.

We offer various tiers of online marketing, starting with the basics up to complete SEO and social media campaigns.
