In Chico, California, your website is usually a customer's first impression — and a slow or generic one sends them straight to a competitor. My Chico builds focus on what Google actually measures: speed, clean structure, local on-page SEO, and mobile performance. You pay once, own the result outright, and never get stuck on a monthly plan.
You supply what only you know — services, pricing, the questions customers actually ask. The structure, headings and local framing for Chico are handled as part of the build.
You own the code and the domain outright. Hosting is yours to choose, and most Chico clients handle day-to-day edits themselves through the editable sections.
Yes — booking flows, enquiry forms and native Stripe checkout are built directly into the code, so no Chico business is paying a platform a percentage of every sale.
Every build is measured on Google Lighthouse before launch and again after go-live. The target is 100, and it is a number you can verify for your Chico site yourself rather than take on trust.
