Web Design That Works for Your Business
When an Orlando homeowner searches "fence contractor near me" at 9pm, they will tap 2 or 3 results, scan for trust signals, and judge your business by what loads in front of them. A 4-second load time, a template that looks like every other contractor's, or a layout that breaks on their phone tells them to scroll past.
We build custom-coded websites designed for one purpose: turning visitors into customers. Fast, professional, and optimized for search from day one.

Most web designers use WordPress templates or page builders. It's faster and cheaper for them. But it creates problems for you:
Template Websites
Our Custom Websites
Every website we build is custom-coded using modern HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, with structured schema markup that helps both Google and AI search platforms understand your business. No WordPress. No Wix. No Squarespace. Just clean, professional websites that load fast, rank higher, and convert visitors into customers.
Don't Take Our Word for It. Google Measured It.
We ran Google's own PageSpeed Insights tool on REK custom-coded client sites and WordPress competitor sites in the same markets. Here's what Google found:

WordPress Competitor
Mobile test results. Both are real Orlando transportation businesses.

Mobile test results. Both are Orlando-area dumpster rental businesses.
Source: Google PageSpeed Insights, February 2026. All sites are real businesses in the same local markets.
Why does this matter? Google uses site speed as a ranking signal. A faster site ranks higher, converts more visitors, and delivers a better experience on mobile where over 60% of local searches happen. Our custom-coded sites consistently outperform WordPress templates because there's no bloated code, no plugin overhead, and no unnecessary scripts slowing things down.

The previous web developer did many things incorrectly and much of it had to be re-done. They did a bang-up job getting it all straight and making much needed improvements. The team is always available and very fast to respond with solutions. You can trust them and that means a great deal to me as a business owner."

Our Web Design Process
Discovery Call
We learn about your business, your customers, and your goals. What makes you different? What do you want visitors to do? This conversation shapes everything that follows.
Content Strategy
We plan your site structure, identify target keywords, and outline the content for each page. Great design means nothing without great content.
Design Mockups
You'll see your homepage design before we write a single line of code. We iterate based on your feedback until you're completely satisfied.
Development
We custom-code your site in clean, semantic HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. Every page is optimized for speed and search engines.
Review and Revisions
You review the completed site on our staging server. We make revisions until everything is perfect. No limit on reasonable changes.
Launch
We migrate your site to your live domain, set up redirects if needed, submit to Google, and ensure everything works perfectly.
Most projects launch within 4-6 weeks. We'll give you a realistic timeline during your consultation.
Free Website with Every SEO Package
Here's something most agencies won't offer: we include a custom website with every SEO package at no additional cost.
Why? Because we've learned that SEO on a poorly built website is like putting racing tires on a broken car. Your site's structure, speed, and content directly impact your search rankings.
When you sign up for our SEO services, we build you a brand new website designed to rank. Other agencies charge $3,000-$10,000 for website design alone. We include it because it's essential to your success.
Only Need a New Website?
We build custom-coded, blazing-fast websites without the overhead of a full SEO program. But here is the truth: 97% of consumers search online before choosing a local business. A great website without SEO is like a billboard in the desert. When you are ready to be found, we will be here.
