## Our process

Design and code share one desk, so what you approve is exactly what ships.

1. **Architecture & setup** — Stack, CMS, hosting, and integrations chosen for your goals.
2. **Build & test** — Clean, accessible, responsive code, tested across devices as we go.
3. **Launch & support** — Performance tuning, SEO setup, and ongoing support after launch.

## Offerings

- **Custom website development** — Hand-coded websites on modern frameworks, built to load fast, rank well, and be easy for your team to update.
- **Ecommerce development** — Online stores on Shopify or fully custom builds with Stripe, designed around how your customers actually shop.
- **Web app development** — Custom tools, portals, and progressive web apps built with SvelteKit and React, from MVP through to launch.
- **Headless CMS & Craft CMS** — Content management your team will actually enjoy using, with Prismic, Craft CMS, or WordPress set up around your content, not the other way around.
- **Performance & Core Web Vitals** — Optimized images, lean code, and smart loading that keep pages fast, which keeps visitors around and helps your search rankings.
- **Technical SEO** — Clean markup, structured data, sitemaps, and metadata built in from the start, so search engines understand every page.
- **Integrations & APIs** — Payments, MLS listings, CRMs, and third-party platforms connected so your site works with the tools you already use.

## FAQs

### What platforms and frameworks do you build with?

Mostly SvelteKit and React, with headless CMSs like Prismic and Craft CMS. We also build on WordPress, Shopify, and Webflow when they're the right fit. We'll recommend the stack that suits your goals and your team.

### Can I update the website myself after launch?

Yes. Every site comes with a CMS set up around your content, so your team can edit pages, add posts, and swap images without calling us. We'll walk you through it before launch.

### Do you build ecommerce sites?

Yes, from Shopify stores to custom ecommerce with Stripe payments. We design the shopping experience and build it, so the store feels like part of your brand rather than a bolted-on template.

### Will my website be fast and SEO-friendly?

Yes. Performance and technical SEO are built in from the start: optimized images, lean code, clean markup, structured data, and proper metadata on every page.

### Do you offer hosting and maintenance?

Yes. We'll set up reliable hosting for your site, and we offer ongoing maintenance and support after launch, so it stays secure, fast, and up to date.
