Web Development

Your website is often the first impression customers have of your business. Not every business needs — or can justify — a fully custom build, so we start by matching the platform to your budget and goals instead of defaulting to the most expensive option.

Existing Website Editing & Modernization

You do not need to start over just because your website needs attention. We can edit the site you already have: update services and pricing, improve page structure, repair forms and integrations, refresh calls to action, and make targeted accessibility, SEO, and performance improvements.

When the current platform is too slow, difficult to edit, or limiting the next phase of the business, we can plan a measured conversion to better technology. That may mean moving a marketing site to Astro or another fit-for-purpose stack while preserving important content, URLs, analytics, forms, and search equity.

Our modernization work is staged around the risks that matter: baseline performance, content and URL inventory, redirect planning, accessibility checks, and post-launch verification of Core Web Vitals and conversion paths.

Choosing The Right Starting Point

We scope websites across a spectrum, from free to fully custom, and help you land on the tier that actually fits:

• Free / Starter — A free Google Site or similar builder for a bare-bones online presence when budget is the only priority.
• Shopify or Squarespace — Fast, professional small-business sites and stores with built-in hosting, templates, and support. Our priority recommendation for most small businesses that need to sell online.
• Framer — Design-tool-driven sites for businesses that want strong visual polish without a full custom build.
• WordPress or Umbraco — CMS-driven sites for businesses that need more content control, a specific plugin ecosystem, or a .NET-based platform.
• Fully Custom (Astro or Next.js) — Custom-built sites and web applications when off-the-shelf tools hit their limits.

Our Web Development Stack

When a project calls for a fully custom build, we pick the framework best suited to the project:

Frontend Frameworks

• Astro — Our go-to for marketing sites and content-driven platforms; content-first sites that stay fast by sending little to no JavaScript by default
• Next.js — Full-stack React web applications with SSR, ISR, and API routes
• Angular v22 — Structured, maintainable web applications with dependency injection and powerful tooling
• React — Component-based UI for custom application interfaces
• Svelte — Compile-time framework for lightweight, fast interactive UI
• SolidJS — Fine-grained reactive framework for high-performance UI
• Vue — Approachable, versatile framework for projects of any scale

Styling & Design Systems

• Tailwind CSS — Utility-first styling for rapid, consistent UI development
• Component libraries — UI toolkits for building accessible, reusable components
• CSS-in-JS — Styled Components, Emotion for scoped, dynamic styling when needed
• Design tokens — Systematic color, spacing, and typography scales that maintain brand consistency

Types of Web Projects We Build

Marketing & Corporate Websites

High-converting landing pages, corporate sites, and campaign microsites optimized for SEO and performance. We focus on fast load times, clear calls to action, and mobile-first responsive design.

Web Applications & Dashboards

Complex data-driven applications with real-time updates, role-based authentication, and intuitive interfaces. From internal tools to customer-facing portals, we build apps that scale.

Content Platforms

Blogs, documentation sites, knowledge bases, and media platforms built with headless CMS integration. We connect to Contentful, Sanity, Strapi, or your CMS of choice.

E-Commerce Storefronts

Online stores that drive revenue — custom Shopify themes and store setup, Squarespace commerce, payment processing with Stripe, PayPal, Square, Apple Pay, and Google Pay, plus inventory sync and order fulfillment integration. We match the commerce platform to your budget the same way we match the website tier.

E-Learning & Membership Sites

Gated content, course platforms, and subscription-based services with payment integration, progress tracking, and user management.

Design Is Part of the Build

Every project includes the design work it needs — wireframes and interactive Figma prototypes you can try before development, responsive layouts from mobile to ultra-wide, and WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility baked in rather than bolted on. You get one accountable builder for design and development instead of coordinating separate vendors.
