Web Design
Custom-coded websites, measured before launch.
We compose a site the way a printer sets a page: deliberately, in code, with nothing on it that doesn't earn its place. No page-builder, no theme you outgrow in a year. Each build ships with the fundamentals done properly — quick load times, markup a search engine can read, and a contact path that lands a real message in your inbox. You end up owning a site you can measure, and one we can show the numbers on.
Projects from $6,000. If you want the honest test of how fast our work is, run this very page through Google's PageSpeed Insights while you read.
The process
- 01
Intake, before a pixel is set
We gather what is true about the business — services, area, licenses, real photos — before a word is written. Nothing on a Richmond site gets invented.
- 02
A design for one business
The site gets its own system: type, color, and layout, drawn around the work. Not a theme with a logo dropped into it.
- 03
The build, in code
We set the pages in Next.js — the framework behind some of the largest sites on the web — and ship static, fast HTML. No plugins to break, no builder freight.
- 04
Measured before it prints
Speed, accessibility, structured data, and Search Console wiring are checked against hard gates before launch. You get the checklist.
What a build includes
- A design system drawn for your business — type, color, and layout, not a template
- A hand-coded build (Next.js), static and fast, with no plugin sprawl
- Mobile-first pages, tested on real phones
- A lead form wired to your inbox, with spam filtering
- On-page SEO and Schema.org markup
- Analytics and conversion tracking, set up and verified
- A page-speed pass against hard gates before launch
Projects from $6,000. The figure follows the scope — page count, copywriting, any tools — and we put it in writing before a line is set.
Weighing that floor against a cheaper quote? What a Richmond website actually costs breaks down the tiers, the three-year math, and how to read a quote.

Questions Richmond owners ask
How long does a build take?
Most run four to eight weeks from the first call, depending on how many pages you need and how quickly the words and photos come together. We give you a real schedule up front, not a range that quietly stretches.Do I own the finished site?
Entirely — the code, the content, the domain. There is no platform you have to keep renting from us to keep the lights on.Why hand-code instead of using WordPress?
A theme-and-plugin site carries scripts you never asked for; they slow the pages and drag on rankings. Code ships only what a page uses, so it loads faster and reads cleaner to Google — and there is far less to break.Will you write the copy?
We can. We draft from a working call and whatever materials you have, then tighten it with you. Or we sharpen what you have already written. Either way, nothing goes on the page that isn't true of your business.How do I know the site will be fast?
Run this site through Google's PageSpeed Insights while you are deciding — that is the honest test. We hold client work to the same bar we hold our own.
