Web Development
Web Development Built on
Real Code, Not Shortcuts
Page builders are shortcuts that cost you speed, rankings, and control. We write every line of code by hand — clean, lean HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and React that performs the way your business needs it to.
Overview
The difference between a built site and a coded site.
When most people say "web development," they mean dragging blocks around in WordPress or Webflow. That's not development — that's assembly. Real web development means writing the actual code that browsers execute.
Why does that matter? Because hand-coded sites load faster (Core Web Vitals), rank higher (Google rewards performance), cost less to maintain (no plugin fees, no platform subscriptions), and do exactly what you need them to do — nothing more, nothing less.
We build in HTML5, CSS3, vanilla JavaScript, and React depending on what your project requires. Every line is written with purpose.
What's Included
Everything you get.
Semantic HTML5
Properly structured markup that search engines understand and screen readers can navigate — accessibility and SEO built into the foundation.
Modern CSS
Clean, maintainable stylesheets with no bloated frameworks. Fast to load, easy to update, and pixel-perfect across every screen size.
JavaScript & React
Interactive components, animations, and dynamic functionality built with modern JavaScript. React for larger applications that need component architecture.
Performance optimization
Image compression, lazy loading, code splitting, and caching strategies that push Core Web Vitals scores into the green.
Cross-browser compatibility
Tested and working across Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge on both desktop and mobile before a single line goes live.
Clean, documented code
Code you can actually hand to another developer someday. Commented, organized, and free of the spaghetti that page builders generate.
Why Sherwood
Why businesses choose us.
No frameworks for the sake of it
We use the right tool for the job. A simple business site doesn't need React. A complex web app might. We make that call based on your actual needs.
Performance is non-negotiable
Every project is measured against Core Web Vitals before launch. We don't ship slow sites.
You get the source code
Not a login to a platform — the actual source files. Yours forever.
SEO baked in from line one
Heading hierarchy, semantic elements, schema markup, and metadata are part of the development process, not an afterthought.
Fast turnaround
No agency overhead, no project managers, no hand-offs. You work directly with the developer building your site.
Flat pricing
One price. No hourly billing surprises. No scope creep invoices.
FAQ
Common questions.
What languages and frameworks do you use?
HTML5, CSS3, and vanilla JavaScript for most projects. React and Next.js for larger sites or anything that needs dynamic functionality. We choose based on what your project actually needs — not what's trendy.
Do you work with existing codebases?
Yes. We can audit, refactor, or extend existing sites. That said, if the existing code is heavily page-builder-generated, a clean rebuild is often faster and produces better results.
Can you build a web application, not just a website?
Yes — contact us with specifics. We build React-based web apps with custom logic, API integrations, and database connections depending on the scope.
How is this different from hiring a freelancer on Upwork?
Accountability and speed. We work on one project at a time, deliver real mockups before you pay, and have a defined process from intake to launch. No disappearing, no scope creep, no excuses.
