Professional Web Design & Development Services
Custom Code — No Page Builders. No WordPress
At Fort Bend Web Designs, we take a different approach from the typical web agency. We don’t rely on WordPress templates or page builders. Every site we build is hand-coded from the ground up. Why? Because custom code gives your business major competitive advantages: zero bloat, instant loading speeds, perfect Google PageSpeed scores, stronger security, full creative freedom, and no endless plugin updates or vulnerabilities.
Why it Matters
- Lightning-fast load times
- Higher conversions
- Stronger ad performance
- Increased security
- Better Google rankings
- Boosted visibility in Google Business Profile (Maps)
Faster Load Times = Higher Conversions
Online competition is intense. If your site loads slowly, you lose customers—literally. If a website takes longer than 3 seconds to load, up to 50% of visitors leave before even seeing your business. With our custom-coded sites, pages load almost instantly, giving visitors no opportunity to bounce. That extra speed translates into more leads, more calls, and more revenue.
Better Google Ads Performance
Fast websites convert better—and Google knows it. Faster load times improve ad performance and can lower your cost-per-click, saving you hundreds or even thousands over time. When Google prefers your website, you win more auctions and pay less for better results.
Custom-Coded Websites Are Significantly More Secure
Platforms like WordPress come with constant vulnerabilities due to plugins, themes, and frequent updates. If you miss those updates, the risk of hacking increases dramatically.
With our sites, that problem disappears. We don’t use databases, plugins, or server-side entry points. Everything is static HTML, CSS, and JS—meaning there’s nothing for hackers to access. Your site can sit untouched for years and remain secure.
Improved Search Rankings
Better load times improve ranking in two major ways: Google has publicly stated that when two sites have similar content and authority, the site with better PageSpeed and Core Web Vitals wins.
A faster site keeps visitors engaged longer. More traffic, more time on site, more page clicks, and better engagement signals all tell Google that your business is trustworthy and relevant. This helps your website rise in search results over time.
Boost Your Google Business Profile Visibility
Your website’s speed impacts more than just SEO—it can boost your Google Business Profile ranking in local Maps results. When your profile is strong (5-star reviews, photos, fully completed information) and your website loads instantly, you gain more visibility and more calls from people searching in your area.
Small Business SEO Specialists
A well-designed website is only half the equation. If you’re in a competitive market, design alone won’t move the needle enough. That’s why we also provide dedicated small-business SEO services through our in-house SEO expert. Forget the typical “optimize your tags and submit a sitemap” fluff. Those are basic developer tasks—not SEO. Real SEO includes:
