A website built around your business, not a template.

Most websites look fine and do nothing. We build around one question: who exactly are you trying to reach, and what do you need them to do?

Two businesses, two very different jobs

What every new website comes with

For owners whose site no longer reflects the quality of their work, or who rely on word of mouth and want the website to bring in clients too.

  • Goal-first planning

    Before we touch a layout, we ask who you want to reach and what you need them to do. Every design decision follows from that answer.

  • A clear page for every service

    Each thing you offer gets its own page, so people find exactly what they came for and Google can show it for the right searches.

  • Designed for phones first

    Most of your visitors are on their phone. We design for the small screen and scale up, not the other way around.

  • Local search built in

    Page titles and descriptions, structured data that tells Google what you do and where, and your Google Business Profile set up to match.

  • Built to load fast

    Clean code and properly sized images, so pages open quickly on a phone with a weak signal.

  • Handoff and training

    You leave with your logins, your files and the know-how to update your own content.

How a build works

Four stages, and you see the work at each one.

Most builds take two to three months, start to launch
  1. A 30-minute conversation

    Your business goals, the clients you want and where your website stands now.

  2. Strategy and structure

    A site map and content direction: who you're talking to, and why.

  3. Design and build

    You review the work at every stage, so there are no surprises at launch.

  4. Launch and handoff

    The site goes live, and you get training, documentation, your logins and your files.

Questions owners ask

Something else on your mind? Send us a note.

Do I own the website?

Yes. At handoff you get your logins and your files, and we show you how to update your own content.

How long does a new website take?

Most builds take two to three months from the first conversation to launch. The biggest factor is how quickly the content comes together, so we give you a realistic date before we start.

Will I see it before it goes live?

Yes. You review the work at every stage, from the site map to the finished pages, so nothing surprises you at launch.

What do you build websites on?

It depends on the business. Swafy Design is hand-built in Astro and served from Cloudflare. Ghantous Law Corporation runs on WordPress. We pick what suits how you will run the site.

What happens after launch?

You can update the site yourself, or put it on a care plan and we look after updates, backups, speed, security and ongoing SEO.

Do I need a new website at all?

Maybe not. Run the free review first. It shows what your current site does well and what it misses, and we'll tell you honestly whether a new website would actually move the needle.

What the review is not

  • A generic SEO grader with a fake score
  • A promise of Google rankings
  • A technical report full of jargon
  • A sales pitch disguised as a free audit
