Why this matters for your business
Most local business websites in BC are built the same way: a $60 WordPress theme, thirty plugins, and a prayer. They look fine in the sales demo, then load in six seconds on a job-site phone connection, slip down the rankings, and quietly cost their owners calls every single day. Google has said it plainly for years, speed and experience are ranking factors, and two-thirds of local searches now happen on a phone.
We hand-code every site. No page builders, no plugin stack, no bloat, just fast, clean code that hits 100/100 Google PageSpeed scores, ships with schema markup and local SEO structure baked in, and puts a call button under the searcher's thumb. That's not a vanity metric: it's the difference between ranking on page one and paying Google Ads forever to compensate.
You own everything, domain, content, code, outright. Most small-business sites go live in 7 to 14 days. And because the site is born inside the same system as your AI receptionist and automation, every visitor who calls, texts, or fills a form lands in the same pipeline that follows up automatically.
From first call to running system
Strategy before pixels
We map the searches you need to win and the actions visitors must take, then design backwards from the phone call, not forwards from a template.
Hand-coded build
Astro/modern stack, no page builders. 100 PageSpeed targets, schema, local landing structure and analytics wired in from the first commit.

| Comparison factor | Template / page-builder site | Shaxx hand-coded site |
|---|---|---|
| Mobile load time | 4–8 seconds, plugin-dependent | Under 1 second, 100/100 PageSpeed targets |

| Ownership | Hostage hosting, licensed themes | You own domain, content and code outright |
| Maintenance | Plugin updates break things monthly | No plugins to break; optional care from $99/mo |
| Lead handling | Contact form → inbox → hope | Every call/form feeds the CRM + 60-second follow-up |
Web Design, common questions
How much does a website cost?
From $600 for a fast, mobile-first small-business site, with most projects landing between $600 and $1,500. Larger builds, e-commerce, portals, custom functionality, start around $3,500 and are quoted fixed-price. Pricing is published; there are no surprise invoices.
Why not WordPress? Everyone uses it.
WordPress can be excellent, with disciplined developers and constant maintenance. In practice, most local-business WordPress sites are slow theme-and-plugin stacks with monthly breakage. Hand-coding removes the entire failure category, which is why our sites hit speed scores template sites can't.
Can you redesign my existing site without losing rankings?
Yes, redesigns include a full URL and redirect map, metadata migration, and before/after ranking checks. Done properly, redesigns gain rankings (Google rewards the speed jump); done carelessly they crater, which is why we treat migration as SEO work, not IT work.
Do you write the content?
We draft every page, headlines, service copy, local pages, and you approve. You're the expert in your trade; we're the experts in what ranks and converts. It goes faster than the "send us your content" stall every agency knows.
What does 100 PageSpeed actually do for me?
Two things: Google uses speed in rankings (especially mobile), and visitors abandon slow sites before they see your phone number. Fast sites rank better and convert more of the traffic they get, it compounds.
