Website Design

Most of the websites we build are developed on WordPress because it’s flexible, secure, scalable, and one of the most widely used website platforms in the world. It gives our clients the freedom to grow and evolve their site over time without being locked into a proprietary system or restrictive platform. We also build with long-term usability in mind, so your website isn’t just beautiful at launch, but practical and manageable for years to come.

You own your hosting. Always. We believe your website should belong to you, not be trapped inside an agency-controlled system that becomes difficult to leave later. While we’re happy to recommend trusted hosting providers and help get everything configured correctly, the account remains fully in your control so you have complete ownership and transparency from day one.

Absolutely. Most organizations don’t want to launch a website and then be left figuring everything out on their own afterward. We offer ongoing website maintenance to help with updates, security, performance optimization, troubleshooting, content changes, and continued improvements over time. Many of our clients sign up for full-service marketing retainers after launching the site because they want a team in their corner who can keep their site updated, and also do the copywriting, social media, videography, and everything else needed to drive traffic to it!

Very. We build websites to be user-friendly on the backend, not just visually polished on the front end. That means your team can easily update text, swap images, publish blogs, add pages, or make simple edits without needing to know how to code or submit a support ticket every time something changes. And if you ever do need help, our team is still here to support you.

Every project is a little different, but most custom website projects take anywhere from 8–16 weeks depending on the size of the site, the complexity of the functionality, and how quickly content and feedback are provided along the way. Our goal isn’t just to launch quickly. It’s to launch something strategic, thoughtful, and built well the first time so your website can support your organization long after launch day.

Absolutely. Most people will experience your website from their phone before they ever see it on a desktop, which means mobile design definitely can’t be treated like an afterthought. Every website we build is designed to function beautifully across phones, tablets, and desktops so your audience has a seamless experience no matter where they’re viewing it from.

You’re a savvy thinker. Building a website inside a retainer may sound like a smart way to roll a website project into ongoing support, but in reality, it often slows everything down. Websites work best as a sprint—a focused season where everyone is aligned around getting the site launched well and launched efficiently.

The strongest approach is usually kicking off the website project alongside or slightly before your retainer partnership. That way, the retainer actively supports the website through branding, messaging, copywriting, content creation, photography, videography, SEO strategy, and campaign deliverables while the website itself is being designed and developed in parallel.

Instead of the website competing with ongoing monthly tasks, both efforts move together strategically, which almost always leads to a stronger final product and a much smoother launch.

The size, complexity, and functionality dictate the overall cost of a website build. We’ve built websites from $8k all the way up to $200k. A simple informational website is naturally very different from a large custom site with advanced integrations, custom development, copywriting, SEO strategy, and ongoing marketing support. After a discovery conversation, we’ll build a clear proposal around what’s actually needed instead of forcing you into a one-size-fits-all package.

Yes, and that’s one of the biggest reasons many websites perform better after working with us. A beautiful website can only go so far if the messaging isn’t clear. Our team helps with strategy, structure, messaging, and copywriting so the site not only looks professional, but also communicates clearly and guides visitors toward action more naturally.

Sometimes, yes. In some cases, a website simply needs stronger messaging, updated visuals, improved structure, or a better user experience instead of a complete rebuild. In other situations, rebuilding from the ground up is actually the more efficient and strategic path long term. Part of our process is helping determine which option makes the most sense before unnecessary time or money gets invested.

Yes. We build websites with SEO best practices in mind from the beginning, including site structure, page speed, mobile responsiveness, metadata, user experience, and content organization. While SEO is an ongoing strategy and not a one-time checklist, a properly built website creates a much stronger foundation for long-term search visibility.

Absolutely. We regularly integrate websites with CRMs, email marketing platforms, online giving systems, booking tools, event platforms, membership systems, forms, analytics tools, and other third-party software. Our goal is to make your website work seamlessly with the systems your organization already relies on.
