Website Design
Custom Website Design That
Works as Hard as You Do
Your website is your best salesperson — it works 24/7, never calls in sick, and either converts visitors or loses them to a competitor. We build hand-coded, custom websites designed to rank in search and turn visitors into leads.
Overview
What custom website design actually means.
Most "custom" websites are just templates with your logo swapped in. We don't use templates. Every site we build is written from scratch in clean HTML, CSS, and JavaScript — designed specifically for your business, your customers, and your goals.
That matters for two reasons: performance and differentiation. A hand-coded site loads faster than a page builder site, which Google rewards with higher rankings. And a truly custom design means your competitors can't copy your site with a $29/month subscription.
What's Included
Everything you get.
Custom design from scratch
No templates. No drag-and-drop builders. A unique design built specifically for your brand, your industry, and your customers.
Mobile-first development
Over 60% of web traffic is mobile. Every site we build looks and performs perfectly on phones, tablets, and desktops.
On-page SEO foundations
Semantic HTML structure, proper heading hierarchy, meta tags, schema markup, and page speed optimization baked into every build.
Contact forms & click-to-call
Lead capture built in — contact forms, click-to-call buttons, and quote request flows designed to convert visitors into inquiries.
Google Business integration
Your site connected to your Google Business Profile so Google understands your business, your location, and your services.
Full code ownership
We hand you the keys. The code, the domain, the hosting relationship — all yours. No monthly ransom to keep your site alive.
Why Sherwood
Why businesses choose us.
We write every line of code
No Webflow, no Squarespace, no WordPress. Real code, written by a real developer, means a faster, cleaner, more maintainable site.
Free mockup before you pay
You see a full homepage design for your actual business before you spend a cent. Not a wireframe — a real, reviewable mockup.
Live in days not weeks
Most agencies stretch projects across 8–12 weeks. We move fast because we work on one project at a time with no bureaucracy.
SEO is standard, not an add-on
Search optimization isn't a separate package here. Every site we build is structured for Google from the first line of code.
Flat transparent pricing
One price up front. No hourly overruns, no scope creep invoices, no platform subscription fees hiding in the fine print.
You own everything outright
The code is yours. The domain is yours. If you ever leave, you take it all with you. No hostage situations.
FAQ
Common questions.
How long does a custom website take to build?
Most projects go from signed agreement to live site in 5–14 days depending on the package and how quickly you can provide content. We move faster than any agency you've worked with.
Do I need to provide content and photos?
It helps, but it's not required. We can work with what you have and help you write copy that converts. Professional photography is always worth investing in, but we'll make whatever you have look great.
What happens after my site goes live?
We submit your site to Google, set up analytics, and hand you full access to everything. Optional maintenance plans start at $29/month if you want ongoing updates handled for you.
Can you redesign my existing website?
Yes — head to our Website Redesign page for the specifics. We preserve your SEO equity, improve the design and performance, and modernize everything while keeping your existing customers comfortable.
What platform will my site be built on?
It depends on your needs. Small sites are built in pure HTML/CSS/JS. Larger or more dynamic sites use React or Next.js. We never use WordPress, Wix, or Squarespace — those are page builders, not code.
