Design Philosophy

Why Custom Design Beats Templates Every Time

Templates squeeze your business into someone else's box. We build every site from scratch because your business isn't like anyone else's. Your competitors might rely on the same cookie-cutter Wix or Squarespace template, but we create something completely unique for youβ€”designed specifically around your customers, your brand, and your goals. Custom design lets your story shine through in ways a template never could, giving you a website that stands out instead of blending in with everyone else.

βœ“

Your exact brand colors, fonts, and style--not pre-made themes

βœ“

Navigation built around how your customers think and search

βœ“

Features designed for your specific business model

βœ“

No bloated code from features you'll never use

βœ“

Complete control over every pixel and interaction

Imagine a website that sells while you sleep.

Your services, proof, and story do the selling. The site builds trust and captures requests around the clock.

  • βœ“Launch in as little as 7 days with zero upfront build cost.
  • βœ“Mobile-first design that feels premium on every device.
  • βœ“Messaging built to convert visitors into booked calls.

Mobile-First

Our Mobile-First Promise (Test It Yourself)

What "mobile-first" actually means: Most designers build for desktop computers first, then try to squeeze everything onto a phone screen. We do the opposite. We design for your customer's phone first, then expand the design for tablets and desktops.

Why this matters:

  • βœ“68% of your website visitors will view it on a phone first
  • βœ“Google uses your mobile site to determine all your search rankings
  • βœ“Mobile users are often ready to buy now--they're not just browsing

What we build into every mobile experience:

Touch-Friendly Navigation

  • βœ“Every button is at least 44x44 pixels
  • βœ“Spacing between clickable elements so you don't tap the wrong thing
  • βœ“Hamburger menus that actually work smoothly
  • βœ“Forms designed for thumbs, not mice

Lightning-Fast Load Times

  • βœ“Images automatically resized for phone screens
  • βœ“Code optimized to load in under 3 seconds on 4G connections
  • βœ“Lazy loading so images only download as you scroll
  • βœ“No auto-playing videos eating your data

Readable Content

  • βœ“Text size automatically adjusts for comfortable reading
  • βœ“No pinching and zooming required
  • βœ“One-column layouts that flow naturally on narrow screens

Try it right now: Pull out your phone and visit any of our portfolio examples. Notice how fast they load, how easy they are to navigate with your thumb, and how the text is actually readable without zooming.

Technology Stack

Built With Modern, Proven Technology

We don't cut corners with outdated builders. Every Sitemynt website uses the same technology trusted by companies like Netflix, Airbnb, and Nike.

React & Next.js

The frameworks used by major tech companies for lightning-fast, interactive websites.

Tailwind CSS

Allows us to create pixel-perfect custom designs without template limitations.

Laravel & PHP

Battle-tested back-end tools that keep your site fast, secure, and easy to extend.

Security

SSL encryption, DDoS protection, and daily security patches built in from day one.

Accessibility

Websites That Work for Everyone

We build sites that everyone can use, including people with disabilities. Every Sitemynt website meets WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility standards.

For blind or low-vision users

  • βœ“Screen reader software can read your entire website out loud
  • βœ“All images include descriptions so nothing gets skipped
  • βœ“Proper heading structure helps people navigate by jumping sections

For people with motor or color disabilities

  • βœ“Every button and link works with keyboard-only navigation
  • βœ“Interactive elements are big enough to click easily
  • βœ“Text has high contrast and icons clarify meaning

Why this matters to your business

  • βœ“Legal protection (ADA compliance)
  • βœ“Bigger audience (26% of Americans)
  • βœ“Better SEO best practices
  • βœ“It's simply the right thing to do

Design Mistakes

Website Mistakes That Kill Conversions (And How We Avoid Them)

We've seen hundreds of Bay Area business websites. Here are the costly mistakes we fix every single time:

1. Auto-playing videos and music

The mistake: Startling visitors with sound they didn't ask for.

Our fix: Video and audio only play when someone clicks--we ask permission first.

2. Unclear calls-to-action

The mistake: Buttons that say "Learn More" or "Click Here" without explaining what happens next.

Our fix: Every page has one clear next step with language like "Get Your Free Quote".

3. Stock photo overload

The mistake: Generic photos of people in suits shaking hands or pointing at laptops.

Our fix: We source authentic photos of your team, work, and projects.

4. Hidden contact information

The mistake: Making people hunt through multiple pages to find a phone number.

Our fix: Phone, email, and contact form visible on every page.

5. Vague, generic messaging

The mistake: "We provide quality service" and "Your satisfaction is our priority".

Our fix: Copy that explains exactly what you do, who you serve, and why you're different.

6. Slow mobile experience

The mistake: Desktop site works fine, but mobile takes 10+ seconds to load.

Our fix: Mobile-first design where we optimize for phones first, then scale up.

7. No social proof

The mistake: Expecting people to trust you without evidence.

Our fix: Strategic placement of reviews, testimonials, logos, and before/after examples.

SEO Foundation

Every Site Launches SEO-Ready

A beautiful website is worthless if nobody can find it. That's why we build search engine optimization into every site from day oneβ€”not as an expensive add-on, but as a standard feature.

Technical SEO & Performance

  • βœ“Clean URL structure + proper heading hierarchy
  • βœ“Optimized meta titles and descriptions
  • βœ“XML sitemap + robots.txt configured
  • βœ“SSL certificate (the lock icon in the browser)
  • βœ“Core Web Vitals & Image compression
  • βœ“Code minification & Browser caching

Schema & On-Page Strategy

  • βœ“Schema Markup helps Google understand your business
  • βœ“Powers rich snippets (star ratings, hours, prices)
  • βœ“LocalBusiness schema for local search visibility
  • βœ“Keyword-optimized page titles and headings
  • βœ“Alt text for every image
  • βœ“Strategic internal linking structure

What this means for you: When your site launches, it's already built the way Google wants it. You're starting with a foundation that helps you rank higher from day one.

Common Questions

Straight answers about custom builds.

How long does a custom build take?

Most custom sites go live in 7 to 10 days once we have your content. Larger projects may take up to 3 weeks.

Who owns the website?

You own all your content, images, and lead data. The site runs on our managed platform to ensure speed and security.

Is there really no upfront cost?

For most local service businesses, we waive the entire build cost in exchange for a 12-month commitment to our platform.

What if I need changes after launch?

Small updates are included in your monthly plan, and larger changes can be scoped with clear, upfront pricing.

What if I want to cancel?

No problem. No contracts means you can cancel anytime with 30 days notice. Your website stays live until the end of your billing period.

Design Guarantee

Our Unlimited Revision Promise

You don't pay until you love the design. Unlike agencies that limit you to 2 or 3 revision rounds (then charge you for more changes), we keep refining until the design perfectly captures your vision.

Here's how it works

  • βœ“During the design phase, request as many changes as you need
  • βœ“We make adjustments and send updated mockups within 48 hours
  • βœ“This continues until you approve and we move to development

The only limit: We need to stay within the original project scope. If you want to add entirely new pages or features that weren't in the original plan, we'll give you clear pricing for those additions before proceeding.

After launch: Small updates and edits are included in all monthly plans. Larger redesigns or new features can be added anytime--just ask for a quote.
