Better Load Times Leads To Higher Conversions
The online space is highly competitive, and you need every advantage to stand out and outpace your competitors. While others are stuck with page builders and slow load times, you could be offering something unique—custom-coded sites that load instantly. This matters because if your website takes longer than 3 seconds to load, you could lose up to 50% of visitors before they even see your content. They simply won’t wait. Our sites load so quickly that visitors don’t have time to leave, giving you a much higher chance to capture leads than your old site ever did.
Custom Coded Websites Are More Secure
WordPress and other builders come with numerous vulnerabilities and entry points that hackers can exploit. If you’re not consistently updating your plugins and WordPress version, you’re leaving your site exposed to security risks every day. Hackers often target WordPress because it’s easier to breach—especially if updates aren’t being applied regularly!
With our custom-coded websites, there are no databases or server-side requests for hackers to intercept and exploit. It's just static HTML and CSS files, making them virtually impossible to hack. We could leave our sites untouched for 10 years, and they’d remain secure. When it comes to security, our sites are as safe as they come.
Improve Your Search Ranking
Faster load times can boost your Google ranking in a number of ways. The most straightforward method is simply speed. If two websites have similar content and domain authority, Google has confirmed that the one with better PageSpeed scores and Core Web Vitals will rank higher.
There’s also an indirect effect. When your site loads faster, more people will reach it. And the more visitors you get, the higher your ranking can climb. By focusing on Google’s Core Web Vitals, we enhance the user experience, encouraging longer sessions and more clicks as users explore different pages. With increased traffic, longer visit durations, and higher click-through rates, we signal to Google that we’re effectively answering user queries and providing valuable content, ultimately improving your ranking.
Boost Your Google Business Profile
A faster-loading website can give your Google Business Profile a boost, increasing your visibility in Maps searches. Combine that with plenty of 5-star reviews, compelling images, and a fully completed profile, and you'll start seeing more leads coming from your profile than ever before. The more visible we make your profile, the more people will visit your site, and the more opportunities we have to convert them into leads.
