What's included:

Strategy & research

Every project starts by learning what your site needs to do: analytics, competitors, content, and your current platform, shaped into a sitemap and navigation. Need deeper insight? Add audience research like surveys, interviews, or user testing.

Design approach & systems

A user-centered, accessibility-forward process built on storyframes, so the message is clear before layout begins. It ends in a modular block library and style guide your team can build with on their own.

Platform strategy

WordPress is our core, with Webflow, Shopify, and headless builds when your goals call for them. We recommend what fits best for you.

Custom development

Custom Gutenberg blocks and ACF Pro builds, plus integrations with your CRM, scheduling and third-party platforms through APIs.

Performance

Built for speed from the first line of code, with caching, image optimization, and Core Web Vitals checked before launch.

On-page SEO & AI search

Relevant keywords and meta tags built into every page, plus GEO and AEO work like schema, semantic structure, and topical depth to keep you visible in AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and other LLMs.

Accessibility

Designed and built to WCAG 2.1 AA, with automated and manual testing before launch, so more people can use your site from day one.

Security

Hosted on WP Engine’s managed platform, with a SOC 2 Type II audited team handling your build and your data.

Project handoff

You own your site, code, and assets outright, with documentation and CMS training so your team can run it with confidence after launch.
