Website redesigns
A controlled website redesign that improves the experience while protecting useful content, URLs, search signals, analytics continuity, and critical visitor journeys.
Custom website design and development
A purpose-built website shaped around the real business.
PlinthWeb brings positioning, page architecture, original responsive design, and custom development into one accountable process. The result is a website built to explain the offer clearly, support useful visitor actions, and remain practical to operate after launch.
Discuss a custom website
Your context travels with you. Custom websites will already be selected in the form. Add the current site, desired outcome, and timing.
- 01
Strategy and page structure based on the audience and offer
- 02
Original responsive design rather than a recycled theme
- 03
Maintainable custom code, integrations, and launch testing
- 04
Technical SEO, accessibility, and measurement foundations
Service paths
Choose the scope that matches the problem.
Technical SEO audit
A prioritized technical SEO audit of crawlability, indexation, page signals, internal links, structured data, performance, and measurement—not a raw export of warnings.
Managed website care
Managed website hosting and maintenance with accountable deployment, monitoring, recovery planning, dependency care, routine updates, and a defined support boundary.
01
Strategy before screens
Give every page a clear job before design begins.
The project starts by clarifying who the website serves, what those visitors need to understand, which objections slow a decision, and what a qualified next action looks like. Existing copy, analytics, search visibility, sales questions, and operational constraints become inputs to the sitemap rather than material pasted into a new layout.
We then define page responsibilities, message hierarchy, conversion paths, and content gaps. This work keeps a custom website focused: important services receive enough explanation, supporting information sits where visitors can find it, and calls to action match the level of commitment the visitor is ready to make.
- Audience, offer, and conversion-path clarification
- Content inventory and search-informed sitemap
- Page outlines and message hierarchy
- Collaborative copy shaping or scoped copywriting
02
Original design, considered code
Build a distinct system that works on real screens.
The visual direction grows from the content and brand rather than forcing both into a generic template. Responsive compositions, typography, color, interaction, and reusable components are designed together so the experience remains coherent from a small phone to a wide desktop.
Development uses maintained tools where they are appropriate, but the page system and behavior are implemented for the agreed requirements. Forms, scheduling, analytics, content editing, and other integrations are scoped explicitly, with sensible fallbacks and ownership boundaries documented before launch.
- Original responsive interface design
- Reusable, maintainable component system
- Forms and agreed third-party integrations
- Content editing matched to the team
03
A controlled launch
Test the experience visitors and search engines receive.
Quality review covers responsive layouts, current browsers, keyboard navigation, visible focus, reduced-motion preferences, readable content states, forms, and critical integrations. Performance work focuses on the decisions that materially affect loading and interaction instead of chasing a score without context.
Search foundations include crawlable page structure, useful titles and descriptions, canonical and language signals, internal links, and appropriate structured data. Analytics events and search tools can be configured around meaningful actions so the post-launch conversation begins with evidence rather than guesses.
- Responsive, browser, keyboard, and form QA
- Metadata, internal links, and structured data
- Performance and accessibility-minded review
- Analytics, search tools, and launch checklist
How a custom build moves
Four connected stages from brief to launch.
The scope changes with the website, but the sequence keeps content, design, development, and acceptance decisions visible.
- 01
Discover
Clarify the audience, offer, goals, existing evidence, content, technical needs, stakeholders, and launch constraints.
- 02
Structure and design
Shape the sitemap and page narratives, then establish the responsive visual system and review key journeys.
- 03
Develop and integrate
Build the agreed components, enter content, connect integrations, and implement search and measurement foundations.
- 04
Test and launch
Complete acceptance and technical checks, coordinate deployment, verify live behavior, and document the handoff.
Custom website questions
What makes the website custom?
The information architecture, page system, responsive design, components, behavior, and integrations are shaped for the agreed requirements. Maintained frameworks and services may support the build, but PlinthWeb does not relabel an off-the-shelf theme or page-builder output as custom work.
Do we need finished copy before the project starts?
No. Useful source material and access to the people who understand the business are more important at the start. Content can be shaped collaboratively, or original copywriting can be defined as a separate part of the scope.
Can the website connect to our existing tools?
Often, yes. Forms, scheduling, analytics, customer systems, and other services are reviewed during discovery. Feasibility, account access, third-party fees, data handling, and fallback behavior are agreed before implementation.
Is SEO included in a custom website?
Every build includes sound on-page and technical foundations within its scope. Competitive research, extensive service or location content, link acquisition, and ongoing search work are separate needs that should be planned honestly rather than implied by a launch checklist.
