SEO Website Design and Development for Sites That Rank and Convert
Most traffic drops after a new website launch come from missed redirects, lost content and slow templates. I build SEO-friendly WordPress and Shopify websites with the structure, speed and schema planned before design starts, so your site is ready to rank on day one. I’ve also run the WordPress-to-Shopify migration that grew Mearth’s traffic 9.9x.

Why Your Web Developer Should Understand SEO
When SEO is planned before design starts, nothing has to be retrofitted after launch, and nothing you’ve already earned in search gets lost.
Architecture Planned Up Front
Site structure, URLs and internal links are mapped around your target keywords before design starts.
No Traffic Loss at Launch
Every redirect, title and meta description is carried over and checked after go-live.
Ready for AI Search
Clean markup and structured data make your pages easier for Google and AI tools to understand.

SEO Web Development FAQ
Which platforms do you build on?
Mainly WordPress and Shopify. If you are on another CMS, get in touch and I’ll tell you honestly whether I’m the right fit.
Will I lose rankings if I redesign or migrate my site?
Not if it’s done properly. Every project includes a URL inventory, redirect mapping, content and metadata carry-over, and post-launch monitoring.
Can I update the website myself after launch?
Yes. Sites are built so you can edit pages and content without touching code, and I can provide ongoing maintenance if you prefer.
Do you only build new sites, or improve existing ones?
Both. I can build from scratch or improve speed, structure and SEO on the site you already have.
