Custom Web Development Services in Chicago Heights
When every second of load time costs you customers, the standard approach of using WordPress themes and page builders isn't just inefficient - it's actively damaging your business. That's why we hand-code every website from scratch, giving us complete control over performance and user experience.
Think of website development like building a house. WordPress is like using prefabricated parts that sort of fit together. Our custom approach is like having master craftsmen build every element precisely for your needs. The difference shows in every aspect of performance and will stand the test of time.
Why Chicago Heights Businesses Need Custom Code, Not WordPress
Learn how WordPress is holding you back. Sure, it makes it easy to make a website, but that doesn't mean it makes a GOOD website. It's more than just putting up a website and expecting it to rank number 1 or convert any visitors into customers. Here's just a few things WordPress has trouble with that limits your website's performance:
Security Vulnerabilities That Put Your Business at Risk
Every WordPress plugin is a potential entry point for hackers. And if you don't update your WordPress version regularly your site will eventually get hacked and turned into a Chinese gambling website. WordPress is the most targeted platform on the internet because it is the most used platform. With so many potential targets and outdated and vulnerable points of entry popping up everyday, it's only a matter of time before they break in if you're not careful.
Hackers can't hack our sites. We don't have databases or plugins or outdated technologies that serve as a doorway for hackers to get into a site. We just serve up static HTML and CSS files. And you can't hack static files. There's nothing to take over or inject themselves into and worm their way through your WordPress site to get credentials and take the site down. We are 100% secure from hackers.
Slow Websites Hurt Your Conversions and Ranking
WordPress sites are like trying to run a race carrying a heavy backpack. Every plugin adds more weight, more database queries, more processing time. Our clean, efficient code carries none of this burden, delivering pages in milliseconds instead of seconds. The only kines of code in our websites are the ones we put there ourselves. There's not a single line wasted. Every inch of your site is built with purpose and this is why our sites perform better and load faster.
Creative Constraints That Hold You Back
Template websites force your business into predefined boxes. Want something unique? You'll quickly hit the limits of what WordPress themes and page builders can do. Our custom approach means unlimited possibilities - if you can imagine it, we can build it.
Website Speed: Your Competitive Edge in Chicago Heights
A 3-second load time loses you 50% of potential customers. Yet most Chicago Heights business websites take 6-8 seconds to load. Our hand-coded sites? They're ready in under one second, keeping visitors engaged and converting. Right away, when our site launches we are capturing that 30%-50% of your existing traffic that was leaving before. And the more people that reach your site the better!
Google also ranks and indexes your site based on the mobile performance of the site. It's called "Mobile First Indexing". So if your mobile site is slow, fails the Google Core Vitals, and has load Page Speed scores, you won't be getting much out of your site. We fix all those issues and get perfect scores across the board with Google. We can do this because withcustom code we cna control every aspect of the site and how everything loads and when.

SEO That Actually Generates Leads

- Strategic content targeting Chicago Heights customers
- Authority backlink building that boosts rankings

- Content strategies that convert visitors into leads
Does your current SEO person create location specific service pages every month like "house painters in Chicago Heights" and "Exterior house painters chicago heights", etc? Then they aren't doing SEO. You can't rank a home page for multiple locations and multiple keywords. You need to create these "Content Silos" that are dedicated to 1 service in a single location so that page ranks really high for that service in that specific location. Do this for all your services and locations and you can blanket the area in content and dominate the search results in your market.
Our SEO specialist can find the bets keywords to use and rank for and write helpful and engaging content to rank those pages higher than everyone else and monitor them to make sure they are always climbing the search results and fixing them if they aren't. THAT is the mark of an actual SEO expert. If they aren't doing this with creating new backlinks, blogging, and monthly reports then you are not getting your money's worth. SEO is not a plugin you install, its a process. And it's a time consuming one at that.
