What We Build

A site that turns clicks into booked jobs

Every JWD project is a custom build. No templates pulled off a shelf. No page-builder themes that slow your site to a crawl. We design and develop from a clean foundation - because the technical decisions at the start determine whether Google can find you at all.

01
Custom website design and development

Built for your business, your market, and the customers you're trying to reach. No template with your logo swapped in.

02
Conversion-focused from the first wireframe

Every page has a job. Homepage qualifies the visitor. Service pages answer the question they're already asking. Contact page removes every reason to hesitate.

03
Mobile-first, always

More than half your visitors are on their phone. If your site loads slow or looks broken on mobile, they're gone. We build mobile-first - not mobile-as-an-afterthought.

04
Built to hand off - or grow with you

You'll own everything: the domain, the code, the content. Nothing held hostage. And if you want to keep growing, we're here for that too.

Built to Rank

Design that’s built to rank - not just admired

Most web designers hand you a beautiful site and wish you luck on Google. That’s not how we work. Every site we build starts with an SEO foundation - because a site that can’t be found isn’t a business asset. It’s a brochure nobody reads.

Technical SEO baked in

Clean code structure. Fast load times. Core Web Vitals that actually pass. Semantic HTML Google can read. This isn't an add-on - it's how we build.

Site architecture that makes sense

The way your pages link to each other tells Google what matters. We map that intentionally - so your most important pages earn the most authority.

Schema markup from day one

Structured data so Google understands exactly who you are, what you do, and where you do it. That's what makes rich results possible.

Speed as a ranking signal

A slow site loses on two fronts: Google penalizes it, and visitors leave before it loads. We optimize for both.

How a Project Runs

No mystery. No chasing.

Most custom projects run 6–12 weeks from kickoff to launch.

Week 1–2
Discovery

We dig into your business, your market, and your competitors. You're not signing off on a design until we know what it needs to do.

Week 2–6
Design + Build

Custom design, conversion-focused structure, mobile-first development. You review. We refine. No black box.

Week 6–10
SEO Foundation + Launch

Technical SEO, schema markup, site speed optimization, internal linking - all in before we go live. Not bolted on afterward.

Post-launch
Optimize

Rankings take time. We track them and report clearly - no jargon dashboards. Here's where you rank, here's what moved, here's what's next.

Who We Work With

JWD isn’t for everyone

Here’s who we do our best work for - and who tends to see the fastest results.

01

Home-improvement contractors

Contractors, HVAC, plumbers, repair services. If your phone should be ringing more than it is - and a competitor with worse service is getting your calls - this is what we solve. We've seen it. We know exactly what's broken.

02

Accountants & bookkeepers

You've got capacity to take on more clients. The problem is the pipeline. Your site doesn't reflect your expertise, and it's not generating consistent leads. We build sites that rank for the searches your prospects are already making.

03

Lawyers & professional services

Attorneys, financial advisors, consultants. You're built on trust and credibility. Your site needs to earn the first-visit trust before anyone picks up the phone.

Pricing

Published, not hidden behind a sales call

Web design packages and ongoing SEO/ranking support - both published. No surprise invoices. No scope creep that wasn’t agreed on upfront. No contracts that lock you in while results stay vague.

If your budget is tighter than you’d like, there’s a path for that too. We start with the highest-leverage piece first.

Web Design FAQs

The questions we get most

Most sites don't generate leads because they were designed to look good, not to rank or convert. We build the SEO foundation into the site from day one - technical structure, page speed, schema, semantic HTML. We're not just making it look right. We're making it readable and rankable to Google. That's a fundamentally different brief.

Most clients see early traction at 60–90 days. Meaningful rankings - top 3 for competitive terms - typically take 4–6 months, depending on your market. The SF service business in our portfolio broke into the top 3 in 82 days. The Hayward accountant hit #1 in 136 days. Those are real timelines for real markets.

It's not about what the website costs. It's about what it costs you to stay invisible. For a contractor: one booked job typically pays for months of SEO. For an accountant: one retained client pays for a year. The Hayward accountant who went from rank 20+ to #1 hired staff to keep up with the demand. That's the outcome that matters.

We're SF-based and SF-focused - that's where we know the market and the local search landscape best. We also work across the broader Bay Area, including the East Bay and surrounding neighborhoods. We're not a franchise. When you're talking to JWD, you're talking to someone who actually works in this market.

Not much. A sense of what your business does, who your best customers are, and what you want the site to do for you. We handle the strategy, the copy direction, the design, and the build. You don't need to come in with wireframes or keyword lists. If you've got an existing site we can audit, that helps.
