WHY ME? I Build Differently

The Sub 3 second LCP Guarantee:

If your mobile LCP is 3 seconds or higher, over half of your mobile visitors leave and your search rankings suffer. That's a significant loss in potential jobs. Sub-3s LCP is my engineering standard. If your mobile performance doesn't match my guarantee, you don't pay until it does. Period.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS. Straightforward Logic, Clear Answers.

💻 Do you use CMS platforms (WordPress, Wix, etc.)?

+
No. I specialize in Augmented Craftsmanship—building hand-crafted, purpose-built websites for businesses that prioritize lead generation, local market dominance, and sustainable growth.

The CMS Compromise:

  • Performance Overhead

    CMS platforms are known to be built as general-purpose systems, requiring code for countless features your business doesn't need. This inherent architectural overhead creates friction against achieving the strong PageSpeed scores that Google rewards.

  • Security Management

    They require constant vigilance. Every plugin and theme update is a potential security risk that needs monitoring, patching, and updating to prevent vulnerabilities.

The Hand-Crafted Advantage:

  • Performance-First Architecture

    By building with a ground-up, performance-first architecture, I implement only the code your site requires. The result is a foundation engineered for strong PageSpeed scores, optimized user experiences, and solid technical foundations for search.

  • Inherent Security

    With no database, admin panel, themes, or complex plugins, the attack surface is drastically reduced. Your site is secure by design.

  • Fixed Cost & All-Inclusive Service

    Your monthly subscription is your complete website solution. It includes the initial build of your hand-crafted, high-performance website and its ongoing management—covering managed hosting, security, content updates, SEO support, and more. This integrated approach ensures your lead-generating system is professionally maintained and optimized, with clear terms for any work outside the standard scope, so you can focus on your business.

The Bottom Line: More Leads and Less Stress. Your business needs a website that's a performance machine, not a maintenance burden. My custom solution delivers exceptional speed, robust security, and strong SEO foundations—a solid foundation for trades and service businesses prioritizing lead generation and brand excellence. Let's build something better

⏱️ What is LCP exactly and why does it matter?

+

Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) is Google's metric for how long it takes the main content of your site to actually appear. If it’s over 3 seconds on mobile, over half of visitors "bounce"—meaning they hit the 'back' button before your site even loads. Don't funnel leads to your competitor.

Real-World Stakes: Industry data indicates that 70% of all home service searches now happen on mobile. These aren't people at desks; they are homeowners in dark basements with a burst pipe, or parents on a rural highway with 2 bars of service. In those moments, speed isn't just a "feature"—it’s the difference between you getting the call or them clicking the next guy.

The "Fast for Me" Illusion: Don't be fooled if your site loads quickly on your office Wi-Fi. Your browser "caches" (saves) your site's data because you visit it often. New leads on a 3-bar LTE connection see the real speed, which on standard page-builder sites is often 8–10+ seconds.

⌨️ What is your method of building websites?

+
Unlike platforms such as WordPress or Wix, which confine you to their inherent architectural limits, my method is Augmented Craftsmanship. I begin with a blank canvas to architect the foundational structure. I then leverage advanced computational tools, meticulously reviewing and optimizing every line of code. This hands-on control over the entire stack builds speed, security, and SEO foundations through an architectural approach that differs from platform-based solutions.

💰 Why are some websites so cheap?

+

Cheap websites aren't just a waste of money—they're missed opportunities. They're typically assembled from generic templates with minimal customization, focusing on low initial cost rather than long-term performance.

The real issue isn't the price tag—it's what's sacrificed to reach it: proper SEO foundations, performance optimization, and conversion-focused design. These sites might launch quickly, but they often fail to compete where it matters: in search results, on mobile devices, and at converting visitors into customers.

Your website is your digital storefront. If it's slow, unoptimized, or built without strategy, it doesn't just look unprofessional—it costs you trust, leads, and revenue every single day.

⏱️ How long does a website take to build?

+

Most projects launch within 2–4 weeks. Landing pages and simpler sites typically take about 14 days, while more complex builds follow a tailored timeline.

After our free consultation, you'll receive a clear project roadmap. As a solo developer, I provide undivided attention to your project from discovery to launch, with transparent communication and regular updates throughout the process.

🔍 What is SEO and why does it matter for my business?

+

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is how you increase the ranking of your website when potential customers search for your services. For tradesmen, this means showing up when someone searches for things like "electrician near me" or "emergency HVAC repair [your city]".

The Three Pillars of SEO:

Technical SEO

The Engine & Frame. Site speed, mobile performance, clean code. This is what makes your digital work truck actually run. These are key factors Google heavily considers when ranking websites.

On-Page SEO

The Appearance, Tools, & Equipment. Keywords, content, service listings. This is what's in your truck and how your truck looks.

Off-Page SEO

The Extra. Backlinks, social media, influencers, and reviews. This is the extra. Many decide to go without an agency for this or utilize it many months or even years down the road when they are attempting to break into a new market and need that extra mmph.

Why Technical & On-Page SEO Come First:

You wouldn't wrap a broken-down truck with company graphics. Technical SEO is getting the engine running and the tires inflated. On-Page SEO is loading it with the right tools, organizing your gear, and making sure it looks good.

  • Google's Requirements: Search engines reward fast, mobile-friendly, well-structured sites
  • Crawlability: Technical improvements help Google understand your business from the start
  • Essential Foundation: Without a running truck loaded with tools... it'll be difficult to do your job properly
  • Built Into My Process: Every site is developed with technical and on-page SEO as foundational priorities

What's Included in Every Website I Build:

Technical SEO (The Engine)
  • Built to target strong PageSpeed Insights scores for performance, accessibility, and best practices
  • Mobile-first responsive design
  • Clean, semantic HTML structure
  • Proper schema markup for local businesses
On-Page SEO (The Tools)
  • Strategic keyword placement
  • Optimized meta tags & headings
  • Local service area targeting
  • Strategic internal linking structure
Conversion Focus (The Driver)
  • Clear calls-to-action
  • Contact form optimization
  • Trust-building elements
  • Mobile-friendly contact methods

Bottom Line: I handle the engine and tools—the foundational SEO elements. Many tradesmen find that's all they need. The extra (off-page SEO) can be considered later if you want.
