Website Design & Development
Your website is your hardest-working salesperson — or your most expensive brochure. We design and build sites that load fast, rank well, and turn visitors into leads.
A beautiful website that doesn’t convert is a liability with good taste.
Most website projects are run as design projects: aesthetics first, strategy later, SEO and measurement bolted on at the end — if at all. The result looks impressive in a portfolio and underperforms in the market, because nobody asked what the site needed to do for the business.
Northbound runs website projects in reverse: strategy first. Who the site must convince, what actions it must drive, which searches it must win. Design and development then serve that plan — fast, technically clean, SEO-ready, and instrumented for measurement from day one.
- Strategy and messaging defined before a pixel is designed
- Fast, technically clean builds that Google rewards
- Clear conversion paths on every page
- Analytics and tracking installed from launch

Handled properly, no — and this is where experience matters most. We inventory your existing URLs, content, and rankings, preserve what works, and map 301 redirects for anything that changes. Protecting equity is part of the project plan, not an afterthought.
Most marketing sites take six to twelve weeks from kickoff to launch, depending on scope and how quickly content decisions are made. You’ll have a timeline with milestones from the start.
Yes — messaging and copy are part of the strategy phase. A website project fails most often at content, so we don’t leave it as ‘client to provide.’
