Website Design & Development
A website that earns its place. Custom-built on WordPress, optimized for performance, and designed with a clear purpose.
Most websites don't fail because they're ugly. They fail because they were never built with a purpose.
A site can look polished and still load slow, confuse visitors, or never generate a single inquiry. The difference between a site that looks nice and one that actually works comes down to how it was built — and that starts before a single pixel is placed.
Every site I build on WordPress has a clear job to do. Whether that's generating leads, booking appointments, establishing credibility, or selling products — every layout and content decision is made with that goal in mind.
No templates. No outsourcing. No going dark after launch.
What every build includes.
These are not upsells. They are the baseline for any site worth putting your name on.
Custom Design
No templates, no page builders loaded with unnecessary widgets. Your site is designed from scratch around your brand and your goals.
Mobile-First Layouts
Every layout is designed for mobile first, then scaled up. Not the other way around — the way most visitors will actually see your site.
Performance Optimized
Fast load times baked in from day one. Lean code, compressed images, and server-level caching — not an afterthought bolted on at the end.
SEO Foundation
Proper heading structure, meta tags, schema markup, XML sitemap, and clean URLs. The technical foundation search engines expect before they rank you.
WordPress CMS
A WordPress setup you can actually use. Update pages, publish blog posts, and manage your content without touching a line of code.
Forms & Integrations
Contact forms, booking widgets, email capture, live chat, CRM connections — we wire up the tools your business actually depends on.
Security Hardened
Out-of-the-box WordPress is a target. We lock down the installation so you are not the low-hanging fruit — before the site ever goes live.
30-Day Post-Launch Support
New site jitters, small tweaks, questions — you have 30 days of included support after launch. We do not disappear once the invoice is paid.
Discovery & Scope
We start with a conversation. What does your business do, who are you trying to reach, and what does a successful website look like for you? We scope the project and lock in deliverables before anything else.
Design
We design around real content — not placeholder text and stock photos. You review and approve the design direction before a single line of production code is written.
Build & Review
Your site is built on a staging environment you can access and review at any time. We handle WordPress configuration, plugin setup, performance tuning, and cross-device testing.
Launch & Handoff
We handle the DNS changes, migration, and go-live checklist. You get a full walkthrough of how to manage your new site, and 30 days of post-launch support from there.

Start a BuildCommon questions
Straightforward answers to what we hear most before starting a project.
How long does a website project take?
Most projects are completed in 4–8 weeks depending on scope, content readiness, and revision cycles. A straightforward 5-page site with content ready to go moves faster than a complex build with custom functionality. We set a realistic timeline before any work begins.
How much does a new website cost?
Projects start at $2,500 and go up based on the number of pages, custom features, and integrations involved. You'll get a fixed-price quote after the discovery call — no hourly billing, no scope creep surprises.
Do you work on platforms other than WordPress?
WordPress is where we do our best work and where we focus. If you're considering a different platform, we're happy to talk through the tradeoffs — but we won't take a project we can't do well.
What do I need to have ready before we start?
The more content you have ready (copy, images, brand guidelines), the faster things move. That said, we can help you pull it together during the project. You don't need everything on day one.
Do you offer support after the site launches?
Yes. Every build includes 30 days of post-launch support to catch anything that needs adjusting. After that, ongoing support is available through a care plan or hourly retainer.
Can you redesign my existing site, or do I need to start from scratch?
Both are options. If your current site has a solid structure, we can redesign it in place. If it's built on a bad foundation, starting fresh often saves time and money in the long run. We'll give you an honest recommendation after reviewing what you have.
