Web Design · New Jersey

Websites designed to sell, coded by hand.

A typical plugin-built site loads 40 to 60 files before a visitor sees anything. Ours load a handful. That is the difference between a visitor who calls and one who goes back to the results page.

Design first

Structure before styling, always.

Before a single pixel is drawn we define how the site is organized against your objectives. Twelve decisions, made once, in writing: menu, sections, copy, conversion points, forms, integrations. Nothing moves to design until you approve it.

  • Content architecture built from your customers’ searches
  • A master page that sets the pattern, then every inner template
  • Responsive states drawn for desktop, tablet and mobile
  • Design revisions included, then sign-off before any code

Build quality

No page builder. No theme. No plugins.

We build in hand-written HTML, CSS and JavaScript, which is the whole reason these sites load in under a second.

Hand-coded HTML

Every page written by hand, so nothing loads that you did not ask for.

No plugin overhead

Nothing to update, nothing to patch, nothing that breaks on its own.

Responsive build

One site that reshapes itself for phone, tablet and desktop.

Core Web Vitals

Google measures speed. Fast pages rank higher and convert better.

Browser compatibility

Checked in Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge before launch.

You own every line

The code, the accounts, the assets. Handed over at launch, in your name.

The process

Six steps, start to launch.

We agree the direction and scope with you up front, then build and refine on a private test site you can check any time. A typical build runs the schedule in about four weeks.

Initial Consultation

We learn what you need, talk through your goals, and agree on a direction.

Proposal & Deposit

We send the scope, pricing and deposit so the project can get started.

Build to Test Site

Once the direction is agreed, we build your site on a private test link.

Revisions

Rounds of changes come back quickly, while everything is still easy to change.

Refine Content & SEO

We refine copy, layout and on-page SEO, page by page and screen by screen.

Launch

Go live when the site is ready, typically about four weeks depending on content and approvals.

Next step

Let's build it.

Tell us the searches you want to be found for. We will come back with the pages it takes to own them, and the schedule.
