Custom Web Design & Development
At Oahu Web Designs, I take a unique approach to crafting websites. Each site is built from the ground up using clean, efficient code written by hand. No page builders, no templates, no bloated plugins - just sleek, custom designs optimized for performance.
Faster Load Times Mean Better Conversions
In today's competitive online landscape, every advantage counts when it comes to outshining your rivals. While others settle for sluggish page builders, you can stand out with a custom-coded site that loads in an instant. Consider this: if your site takes over 3 seconds to load, you risk losing up to half your traffic due to impatient visitors. They simply won't stick around. Our lightning-fast sites don't give them a chance to bail, allowing you to capture more leads than your previous website.
Improved Ad Performance
The quicker your website loads, the higher your ad conversions will be. Plus, Google favors speedy sites. In fact, faster-loading websites often enjoy lower cost-per-click rates, potentially saving you hundreds or more each month, depending on your ad spend.
The Enhanced Security of Custom-Coded Sites
WordPress and other builders are riddled with vulnerabilities and entry points that can be exploited. With WordPress, failing to constantly update plugins and the platform itself leaves you increasingly vulnerable to hacks with each passing day. Hackers target WordPress more than any other platform due to its weaker defenses (especially if you neglect updates!). Our custom code eliminates databases and server-side requests that hackers can intercept and manipulate to inject malicious code and redirect your site to spam. It's purely static HTML and CSS files. There's nothing to hack. We can leave our sites untouched for a decade, and they'll remain secure. It's the pinnacle of website security.
Boost Your Search Rankings
Faster load times can elevate your Google rankings in several ways. The most direct is through sheer speed. Google has confirmed that between two similar sites with comparable content and domain authority, the one with superior Page Speed Scores and Core Vitals will come out on top. The other method is less direct. Faster-loading sites reach more people. Higher traffic can improve your rankings. By prioritizing Google's Core Vitals Metrics, we craft a better user experience that keeps visitors on your site longer, exploring more pages. Increased traffic, longer session times, and higher click-through rates demonstrate to Google that we're effectively addressing user queries and establishing you as a valuable expert in your niche through carefully crafted, informative content.
Elevate Your Google Business Profile
A faster-loading website can also give your Google Business Profile a boost, increasing your visibility in Maps searches. Pair that with a flood of 5-star reviews, engaging images, and a fully optimized profile, and you'll see a surge in leads from your profile compared to before. The more prominent we can make your profile, the more people will reach your site, and the more leads our site can generate.
Specialized Small Business SEO
Web design and SEO are intertwined. Even a well-crafted website may not deliver the desired results, particularly in competitive markets. That's why we have a dedicated in-house SEO expert who excels at ranking websites and driving leads.
Forget the jargon like "optimize your user experience, submit a sitemap, optimize your meta tags and descriptions, blah blah blah." Those are basic tasks any developer should handle by default. They're not genuine SEO services. Real SEO is an active, engaged process involving content creation, link building, blogging, and monitoring. If you're interested in learning more about our specialized small business SEO services, we're happy to arrange a call and walk you through every detail of our process and how it all works.
