Websites We've Built

Why businesses hire us for web development

Plenty of developers can write code. Fewer can sit down with a business owner, understand the problem, and build something that actually works for the people using it. Here’s what sets our development work apart.

We build on WordPress

Not a proprietary system you can't leave. Not a page builder with monthly fees. WordPress powers over 40% of the web. Your site is yours, fully portable, and built on a platform with decades of community support.

20+ years of experience

We've seen platforms come and go. Our team has built sites through every major WordPress evolution, which means we know what works long-term and what creates technical debt. That experience shows up in sites that don't break six months after launch.

Built for search from the start

Every site we develop is structured for search visibility. Clean URLs, proper heading hierarchy, fast load times, mobile-first layout, and schema markup baked into the build. SEO isn't something we tack on later.

Healthcare and HIPAA awareness

We build for medical clinics, psychiatry practices, physical therapy offices, and other healthcare providers. We understand form handling, appointment integrations, and patient-facing content requirements for health practices.

Clean handoffs and documentation

When we finish a build, you get access credentials, a walkthrough of how to update your own content, and documentation for anything custom. You're never locked in and never locked out.

Ongoing support after launch

Development doesn't end at launch. We offer website maintenance plans to keep your site updated, secure, and performing. Or we hand it off and you manage it yourself.

Testimonials

Our web development services

We don’t do cookie-cutter WordPress installs with a premium theme and call it development. Every project gets custom attention based on what your business needs to accomplish.

How our development process works

We follow a structured process so nothing gets missed and you know where your project stands at every step.

- 01 -

Discovery Call

We talk through your project requirements, technical needs, timeline, and budget. You’ll walk away knowing whether we’re the right fit before any money changes hands.

- 02 -

Technical Planning

We map out the site architecture, page structure, required integrations, and custom functionality. You’ll see a clear project plan before development starts.

- 03 -

Design & Layout

We create the visual design and page layouts in WordPress using Elementor. You review mockups and give feedback before we move into full build mode.

- 04 -

Development & Build

We build out the complete site with all functionality, integrations, and custom features. The site is developed on a staging server so your current site stays live during the build.

- 05 -

Testing & Launch

We test across browsers and devices, verify forms and integrations work, confirm page speed is where it should be, and then launch. Redirects are set up if you’re migrating from an old site.

- 06 -

Training & Handoff

You get a walkthrough of how to manage your content, plus documentation for anything custom. From here you can manage the site yourself, or we can put you on a monthly maintenance plan.

Who we Develop websites for

We mainly work with two types of clients.

Healthcare practices , medical clinics, dental offices, chiropractors, physical therapists, psychiatrists, holistic practitioners, and plastic surgeons. Your patients look you up before they book. Your site needs to load fast, answer their questions, and make it simple to schedule a visit.

Small businesses and contractors , HVAC companies, roofers, attorneys, home service providers, and professional services firms. You need a site that shows up in local search and converts visitors into phone calls.

We serve clients across Washington State and nationally.

Local Marketing & SEO FAQs

Most clients see movement within 30 to 60 days on pages that already have some authority. Meaningful traffic increases from new content and link building take 3 to 6 months. Local SEO for less competitive markets can show results in 2 to 4 weeks. We set clear expectations during the audit so you know what timeline fits your situation.

Our SEO services start at $100 per month. That covers on-page optimization, content updates, local SEO management, and monthly reporting. Larger sites or more competitive markets cost more. We provide a fixed monthly quote after the initial audit so there are no surprises. See pricing details.1

Not always. If your current WordPress site loads fast, works on mobile, and has a clean structure, we can work with what you have. If the site itself is the problem, slowing down your rankings or confusing visitors, we’ll tell you and recommend a redesign or targeted development work first.

Paid ads (Google Ads) put you at the top of search results as long as you keep paying. SEO builds organic visibility that keeps working without a per-click cost. Most small businesses benefit from SEO as a long-term foundation, with ads added when you need immediate traffic for a specific service or season.

No. Anyone who guarantees specific rankings is either lying or using tactics that will get your site penalized. What we do guarantee is transparent reporting, honest assessments, and measurable progress every month. If something isn’t working, we change the approach instead of hiding behind excuses.

Yes. Google Business Profile is a major part of local SEO. We set it up if you don’t have one, or we clean up and optimize an existing profile. Posts, photos, review responses, category selection, and service descriptions are all part of what we manage.

We prefer that you provide the content. You know your business, your clients, and your services better than anyone, and that expertise shows in the writing. If you have some content, send us what you have and we’ll optimize it for search, structure it with proper headings, and make sure it targets the right keywords. If you don’t have content ready, we can write it for you or work together to build it from scratch based on keyword research and your input about what you do.

Keyword ranking changes, organic traffic numbers, pages that gained or lost visibility, a list of completed work, and the plan for the next month. You’ll also see which search terms brought visitors to your site and how many of those visitors took action, like calling, booking, or filling out a form.

AI-generated answers are pulling from websites the same way traditional search does, and citations in those responses are becoming a real traffic source. 

The fundamentals overlap with good SEO: clear, well-structured content, strong topical authority, proper schema markup, and pages that directly answer specific questions. No one can guarantee your site will be cited by an AI model. But the sites that do get cited share the same qualities we already build into every SEO engagement. 

We apply specific strategies around content structure, entity signals, and answer-ready formatting that increase your chances of showing up in AI-generated results alongside traditional Google rankings.
