Website design & redesign in Salem, Oregon

Custom-designed, hand-coded sites for businesses across Salem and the Willamette Valley, whether you're launching your first website or replacing one that no longer fits. Built for how your customers actually find and judge you, not from a recycled template.

Where every project starts

Business websites designed around your customers

Every project starts the same way: understanding the business before drawing anything. Who will actually visit the site, and what are they trying to do? If you already have a site, what is it costing you in credibility or missed calls? If you don't, what does the new one need to accomplish from day one?

The design follows from that, not from a template picked off a shelf. From there, the build itself can go either direction. Some businesses are best served by a static, hand-coded site. Others need the flexibility of WordPress so their team can make updates without calling us every time. Either way, the site is designed and tested across phone, tablet, and desktop before it ever reaches a client's inbox, and it ships with basic on-page SEO structure already in place.

What's included

  • Custom design

    Built around your brand and your customers, not a stock template.

New sites & redesigns

Starting from scratch or rebuilding what you have

About half of our projects are brand-new websites and half are redesigns. Both get the same planning, design, and testing. Only the first steps differ.

Building a new site

  1. Define who the site is for and what you need visitors to do.
  2. Plan the pages around your services and the areas you serve.
  3. Gather the content: copy, photos, and brand files, or create what's missing.
  4. Set up the domain, hosting, and basic SEO so the site is ready to be found at launch.

Redesigning an existing site

  1. Identify the pages customers use and the information that is still accurate.
  2. Note the URLs that already bring visitors from search, ads, and links.
  3. Redirect any address that changes so people reach the replacement content.
  4. Rebuild the navigation and layouts to make those useful resources easier to find.
