Watch It Build
From code to live site.
Every site we ship is hand-coded line by line, here's what that looks like in fast-forward.
The Receipts
This site scores 100 across the board.
The page you're reading right now hits a perfect score on every metric Google uses to rank websites. Not "close to 100." Not "usually 100." Audited on Google Lighthouse, the same engine that powers Chrome DevTools and PageSpeed Insights. Run it yourself, the test is public.
Performance
100
How fast pages load and become interactive. Drives Core Web Vitals. Google's official ranking signal since 2021.
Accessibility
100
Can people with disabilities use the site. WCAG 2.1 AA criteria, screen-reader labels, color contrast, semantic HTML, keyboard navigation.
Best Practices
100
Modern code quality. HTTPS everywhere, current image formats, no security vulnerabilities, no console errors, valid HTML.
SEO
100
Search-engine readiness. Meta tags, structured data, mobile responsiveness, crawlable URLs, hand-written descriptions.
Why it matters
Google rewards "Good" Core Web Vitals with ranking boosts. Most local-business sites don't qualify.
A site that loads in 1.5 seconds outranks a site that loads in 8, even if the slower site has more backlinks. The ranking boost compounds with content depth and time. Build it right once, and you're collecting that boost on every page, every search, forever.
For context
Audited against the top 10 web design agencies in San Francisco and Los Angeles. First in every category.
Pentagram, one of the most famous design firms in the world, scored 67 mobile Performance with a 35-second load time on their own site. Active Theory, who builds for LEGO and Spotify, scored 39. The site you're on right now beats every one of them on the same audit, run on the same hardware.
"Every site I build is built to this standard. Same engineering, same Core Web Vitals, same Lighthouse scores. The site you'd hire me to build for your business is the site you're reading right now."

Client Spotlight
The county's largest fence company, on a site to match.
Humboldt Fence Company has built across the North Coast since 2002, and they're the largest fence company in Humboldt County. They came off a dated WordPress site onto a fully custom build, faster, more secure, and engineered to rank.
Every page hits a perfect 100 across the board on Google's own performance and SEO scoring, something almost no contractor website in the country can claim. Same company, same county. The website just stopped being the weak link.

The same four scores Google ranks on, measured on mobile before and after. The biggest jump is Performance, the raw load-speed score, which went from a 54 to a perfect 100, the new site answering in about 113 milliseconds.

Web Design FAQs
Common questions.
-
What kind of websites do you build?
Custom-coded sites for service businesses across Northern Arizona and California's North Coast, contractors, restaurants, clinics, and professional services. Every site is hand-coded from scratch, no drag-and-drop builders, no off-the-shelf themes, with deep SEO architecture and schema markup so it ranks. -
Why custom-coded over a template?
Templates and drag-and-drop builders cap at a certain ranking ceiling, they generate the same code as every other site using the same template, which search engines deprioritize. A custom-coded site lets us build schema markup, semantic structure, internal linking, and performance to a level that templates physically cannot reach. The result: higher rankings, faster sites, and more inquiries. -
How long does a typical build take?
A standard small-business site takes 4–12 weeks from kickoff to launch. Larger multi-page sites (full service catalogs, programmatic SEO architectures) take longer. Tex shares a clear timeline with milestones in the proposal. -
Do you handle hosting and ongoing updates?
Yes. Sites ship to a modern edge CDN with automatic SSL, fast and secure by default. Ongoing updates, content changes, new pages, photo refreshes, are available on a recurring retainer or hourly basis. SEO maintenance and analytics review are part of the retainer. -
Can you redesign an existing site?
Yes. Many clients come from drag-and-drop builders or aging template installs that aren't ranking. The redesign process includes content migration, URL redirect mapping (so existing SEO equity transfers cleanly), and a careful relaunch. Send your current URL with your inquiry and Tex will audit it as part of the quote.
