Web Development
We build fast, scalable websites and web applications using Next.js, React, Shopify, and WordPress — engineered for search visibility, conversion rate, and long-term maintainability. Whether you need a marketing site that ranks or a complex web application that scales, our development team ships production-grade code, not templated shortcuts. Every build starts with a technical SEO foundation and ends with a site your team can actually update.
Most websites are built to be launched, not maintained. They're handed off with bloated page builders, undocumented custom code, or CMS platforms nobody on your team understands — and within a year, every small change requires calling the agency that built it. We build differently: clean codebases, sensible component architecture, and documentation that means your team can actually own the site after launch.
Our stack depends on what you're building, not what we're comfortable defaulting to. Marketing sites and content-heavy properties get Next.js with a headless CMS for speed and editorial flexibility. E-commerce gets Shopify or a custom storefront when off-the-shelf themes can't support your margins or merchandising logic. Complex web applications — internal tools, customer portals, multi-tenant SaaS dashboards — get full-stack React and TypeScript, built for the edge cases your business actually has.
Performance and SEO aren't an afterthought bolted on before launch — they're architectural decisions made from day one. That means thinking about Core Web Vitals during the design phase, structuring URLs and metadata before a single page is built, and choosing rendering strategies (static, server-rendered, or hybrid) based on what each page actually needs rather than defaulting to one approach for the entire site.
If you're rebuilding an existing site, we start with an audit — what's working, what's costing you rankings, what's confusing your CMS editors — before writing a line of code. If you're building from scratch, we start with the same questions everyone skips: who's actually maintaining this in twelve months, and what does that person need from the codebase we hand them?
Marketing sites, corporate websites, and content platforms built on Next.js and React with a headless CMS — fast page loads, clean editorial workflows, and a component library your team can extend without touching core code. Every build ships with structured metadata and semantic HTML from page one.
Custom Shopify themes and headless commerce builds for brands that have outgrown off-the-shelf templates. We handle product data architecture, checkout customization, app integrations, and the merchandising logic that turns a generic storefront into one built around how you actually sell.
Full-stack applications — customer portals, internal tools, multi-tenant dashboards — built with React, TypeScript, and a backend architecture sized to your actual scale. We design for the data model first, not the UI, so the application holds up as your business changes.
Moving from WordPress to headless, Shopify to a custom storefront, or one CMS to another — without losing your search rankings. We map every URL, preserve redirect logic, and validate structured data before and after launch so a migration never costs you organic traffic.
Slow sites lose rankings and revenue. We audit render-blocking resources, image delivery, third-party scripts, and server response times, then rebuild the bottlenecks — not just the symptoms — so your Core Web Vitals scores hold up under real traffic, not just lab tests.
Payment gateways, CRMs, marketing automation platforms, inventory systems — we integrate the tools your business already runs on, building resilient API layers that don't break every time a third-party vendor ships an update. We document every integration so your team isn't dependent on us to troubleshoot it later.
Dependency updates, security patches, performance monitoring, and small feature requests — handled on a retainer so your site doesn't quietly degrade between major projects. You get a team that already knows your codebase, not a new developer relearning it from scratch every time.
Structured data, canonical tags, XML sitemaps, internal linking architecture, and crawlability fixes built directly into the development process — not handed off to a separate SEO team after launch with no context on how the site was actually built.
We review your current site (if one exists), your tech constraints, your team's workflow, and your growth goals. For new builds, we map the content model and user flows before any design or code decisions are made.
We decide the tech stack, information architecture, and rendering strategy based on what the site actually needs — then move into wireframes and visual design, with SEO and performance considerations built into every decision from the start.
Our team builds in sprints with regular demos, not a single reveal at the end. Every feature is tested across devices, browsers, and connection speeds before it ships, with accessibility and performance checks built into the QA process.
We handle DNS, redirects, structured data validation, and search console setup so launch day doesn't cost you rankings or traffic. Staging environments mirror production exactly, so there are no surprises when we go live.
We monitor Core Web Vitals, crawl errors, and conversion data after launch, then make the adjustments that only become obvious once real users are on the site — not just what looked right in a design file.
We've inherited too many sites that only the original agency could maintain. Every project we ship comes with documentation, sensible naming conventions, and architecture decisions explained — not buried in someone's head. If we disappeared tomorrow, your next developer could pick up the codebase without starting over from scratch.
The same team that writes your code thinks about your search rankings, because the two are inseparable. Site structure, page speed, and metadata aren't handed to an SEO specialist after the fact — they're decided alongside every architectural choice, which is why our builds tend to rank faster than redesigns bolted onto existing sites.
A beautiful launch that becomes unmaintainable in six months isn't a win. We ask who's updating this site day-to-day and build the CMS structure, component library, and editorial workflow around that person — not around what looks impressive in a portfolio case study.
The engineers architecting your application are the same ones writing the code — not a senior who scopes the project and hands it to a team you'll never talk to. That continuity is why our estimates hold up and our builds don't drift in scope.
We choose tools based on what a project actually needs, not what we want to put on a case study. For most marketing sites and content platforms, that means Next.js paired with a headless CMS for speed and editorial control. For commerce, Shopify covers most use cases — we go custom only when the business logic genuinely requires it. For complex applications, we lean on React, TypeScript, and a backend sized appropriately to the data and scale involved, deployed on infrastructure that scales without a re-platform down the line.
SaaS companies need marketing sites that load fast, rank for high-intent terms, and convert trial signups — without becoming a bottleneck for the product and growth teams who need to ship landing pages weekly. We build component systems flexible enough for marketing to self-serve most updates without filing a developer ticket for every change.
D2C brands need storefronts that handle traffic spikes, support complex promotions and bundles, and don't require a developer for every merchandising change. We build Shopify and headless commerce solutions sized to actual order volume, not hypothetical scale.
B2B companies often need more than a marketing site — customer portals, partner dashboards, or internal tools that integrate with existing CRMs and data systems. We build these as proper applications, not website add-ons, with the data architecture to match.

Learn moreBoth, depending on the project. WordPress still makes sense for certain content-heavy sites with non-technical editorial teams. For most modern builds — especially anything performance or SEO-sensitive — we recommend Next.js with a headless CMS, but we'll tell you honestly which fits your situation better.
A marketing site typically takes 4-6 weeks from kickoff to launch. E-commerce builds run 6-10 weeks depending on integrations. Complex web applications vary widely based on scope — we'll give you a specific timeline after the discovery phase, not a generic estimate upfront.
Yes — technical SEO is built into our development process, not added afterward. That includes structured data, proper heading hierarchy, optimized Core Web Vitals, clean URL structures, and XML sitemaps. If you also want ongoing SEO strategy and content, that's a separate service we can bundle in.
Yes, this is one of the most common projects we handle. We map every existing URL, preserve or properly redirect them, validate structured data, and monitor rankings closely in the weeks after launch to catch any issues immediately.
Yes. Most clients move to a monthly maintenance retainer after launch covering security updates, dependency upgrades, performance monitoring, and small feature requests. It's optional, but most teams prefer not to manage this in-house.
We frequently work alongside internal teams — handling a specific build, a migration, or a performance overhaul while your team focuses on other priorities. We document everything thoroughly so your developers can pick up where we leave off.
