Phoenix Web Design

WordPress sites built to rank, built to convert.

Custom WordPress design and development — not Squarespace templates, not page-builder bloat. Built mobile-first, SEO-ready from day one, and tuned to turn Phoenix searchers into leads.

Why The Site Matters For SEO

The fastest-ranking SEO is often a new website.

A surprising number of Phoenix businesses we audit have ranking ceilings that can’t be unlocked without a site rebuild. Page-builder bloat, slow Core Web Vitals, broken mobile rendering, no schema, or fundamentally non-SEO-friendly architecture — these are technical debts that the rest of an SEO program can’t fully overcome.

When the site is the bottleneck, rebuilding it is the highest-ROI move you can make. We build sites that are fast, accessible, conversion-optimized, and SEO-native from day one.

What Every Build Includes

Our WordPress build standard.

Core Web Vitals

LCP < 2.5s, FID/INP < 200ms, CLS < 0.1 — targeted on real-device testing, not just lab scores.

Mobile-first

Designed mobile-first, tested across every common device size. Tap-friendly. Layout-shift-free.

WCAG 2.1 AA

Accessibility is built in — semantic HTML, ARIA where needed, keyboard navigation, screen-reader tested. Reduces legal exposure and lifts SEO.

SEO-native

Schema markup, clean URL structure, proper heading hierarchy, fast indexation, XML sitemap, robots.txt. No retrofits needed.

Editable in WordPress

Built on Gutenberg blocks or a clean custom theme. You can update content yourself without paying us forever for typo fixes.

Secure & maintained

HTTPS, security hardening, regular updates included in our maintenance retainer. We don’t ship and disappear.

FAQ

Web design — common questions.

How much does a WordPress site cost?

Most Phoenix SMB builds run $4,500–$12,000 depending on page count, design complexity, custom features, and content migration scope. We provide written scopes with line-item pricing before any commitment.

How long does a build take?

Typical timeline: 4–8 weeks from kick-off to launch, depending on content readiness and round-of-revision pace. Faster timelines possible for simpler scope.

Do I own the site when you’re done?

Yes. You own the domain, the hosting account, the WordPress install, the theme, all content, and all assets. We don’t lock you in.

Do you do hosting?

We don’t sell hosting, but we’ll recommend managed WordPress hosts (typically Kinsta, WP Engine, or Cloudways) that perform well for our build standard. Your hosting account stays in your name.

Will the new site keep my existing SEO?

Yes — assuming we do the migration correctly. 301 redirects on every URL change, content/schema preserved, technical SEO improved. Often the new site ranks better within 60 days due to speed and structure improvements.
