    Website Development

    for local service businesses in Vancouver WA and Portland OR

    The engineering half of a site: code, forms, speed, tracking, and hosting that hold up when twenty people land on the same page at once.

    From $1,497

    My site looks fine but nobody ever gets my form submissions. What is going on?

    Usually the form still posts to an address that stopped working, or a spam filter eats it, or a plugin update broke the handler and nobody checked. A working build sends every submission two places, logs it, and fires a confirmation you can see. If nothing arrives, you find out that day instead of next quarter.

    What this actually includes

    Website development turns an approved design or an existing page set into templates, tested forms, tap-to-call links, and hosting built to stay online when many visitors land on one page at the same time.

    This is build work, not layout work. We take an agreed design or an existing set of pages and turn it into something that loads fast and does not break. Templates are written once and reused, so a phone number change happens in one file instead of forty pages.

    Forms get rebuilt to send to two destinations, log every entry, and show the visitor a real confirmation. Tap-to-call links are wired on every phone number. Call tracking, if you use it, is installed so the number swaps for ad traffic without changing the number the rest of your record carries.

    We cut the plugin pile. Anything doing a job you can do in ten lines of code gets removed, because each add-on is another thing that updates itself at 2 a.m. and takes the contact page with it. Images get compressed and sized. Scripts get deferred. The site gets tested on an actual phone over cell data.

    Then hosting, backups, SSL, and redirects. Old URLs point at their replacements so nothing you already earned gets thrown away. You own your domain, and this build is included in CitedLocal Visibility at $497 a month with no setup fee.

    Who this is for

    This fits owners who already know what their site should say but have no one to build it right, including sites built from flat designer files or ones running slow on an old template nobody maintains.

    Content and copy are not the gap here. The build is. Maybe a designer handed you flat files. Maybe a template site is slow, and your last developer stopped answering email. Maybe a designer handed you flat files. Maybe a template site is slow, and your last developer stopped answering email.

    Electrical contractors and roofing companies with several crews use this most. They already have real content and photos, and their problem is a site that takes nine seconds to load on a job-site phone.

    This is not design. If you need the look, the page list, and the copy decided, start at Local Business Website Design or hire a designer first and bring us the files. We will tell you plainly on the call which of the two you actually need.

    How it works

    A scope call fixes the template count, the forms, and the page list before any code is written. The build then happens on a staging copy, so nothing changes publicly until you sign off on what you see there.

    Every rebuild starts with a look at what already exists. The free audit checks the current build, its speed on mobile, and what is broken, delivered within 24 hours.

    Next comes a scope call. We list every template, every form, and every integration, then agree on what gets built and what gets deleted.

    Build happens on a staging copy so your live site keeps running while the new one is put together, page by page, in front of you. You click through the staging link and mark anything wrong. Launch happens with redirects in place and tracking checked the same hour. After launch you get the repository, the hosting login, and a short written record of how the thing is put together, so the next person can pick it up without calling us.
