FAQ
Questions, answered straight.
Do you build WordPress sites or custom-coded sites?
Both. We recommend the right fit for your business — WordPress for familiar editing and a mature plugin ecosystem, or a custom build for the fastest possible performance and modern search readiness.
Which North Shore towns do you serve?
All across the North Shore of Massachusetts, including Lynn, Salem, Peabody, Beverly, Danvers, Marblehead, Swampscott, Nahant, Saugus, Revere, Gloucester, Rockport, Ipswich, Newburyport, Amesbury, and Rowley.
How long does a new website take?
Typically 3 to 6 weeks for design and build, following a 3 to 5 day website and SEO review and about a week of strategy and structure.
What is the free website review?
A written, plain-English audit of your homepage clarity, mobile usability, page speed, local SEO basics, Google Business Profile alignment, and conversion issues — with specific next steps. No pitch, no obligation.
What does an AI-ready website mean?
We structure your site with clean semantic HTML, schema markup, FAQs, and local signals so both search engines and AI answer engines like Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity can understand what you do, where you do it, and why to trust you.
Do you offer ongoing support after launch?
Yes. Care plans cover performance and security monitoring, conversion and content improvements, and monthly reporting in plain English.
Proof, not promises
What your free website review looks like.
A real, plain-English audit written by a developer — not an automated PDF. Here's the kind of specific, fixable issue we flag (example findings shown).
Speed & Core Web Vitals
Example finding: “Your homepage hero image is 2.4 MB and takes 4.1s to load on mobile — most visitors leave before it appears. Compressing it would likely cut load time in half.”
Local SEO & Google
Example finding: “You're missing from the Google Map Pack for your own town — there's no Google Business Profile linked and no local schema telling Google which North Shore towns you serve.”
Clarity & conversion
Example finding: “A visitor can't tell what you do or where you do it in the first five seconds, and your phone number isn't tap-to-call on mobile — two quick fixes that win more calls.”
