Professional Website Design Company in Los Angeles
Some of the awesome sites we've designed!
As you might expect in a club that is run by vintage car enthusiasts across the country who volunteer their time, our website was in sore need of a revamp. It was clunky and there were dead links everywhere which our members noticed. The redesign was great and Blake helped us implement an online membership portal. Thanks Blake!
My site was tired in need of a refresh. Here in Hollywood, actor headshots are very important to up and coming actors and our site needs to stay current and attractive. Blake keeps my site up to date and is responsive to any requests for updates.
My old website looked very dated and didn't show well on the iPhone. I hired Blake to redesign the site and I love what he did. The process was painless and best of all there was no down time between the old site and the new site. The design of the newsite is bright and cheery, I get compliments all the time!
We don't 'bolt' SEO onto beautiful site design as an afterthought. From wireframes to launch, every decision serves both your users and search engines.
Great design means nothing if your audience can't find you.
Our Process
Your site’s wireframe, often referred to as the website’s structure or information architecture, is a critical element in building a successful website. It serves as the backbone of the site, influencing everything from user experience to search engine optimization (SEO).
When building a site, we consider content organization, load times, mobile responsiveness, scalability, security and conversion optimization, including understanding why hero sliders can be detrimental to these goals. We also utilize modern image formats like WebP to optimize your website’s loading speed without sacrificing visual quality.
We create an SEO-optimized URL structure for unique pages you determine to be most important for your business.
The content of a website is its lifeblood, driving engagement, conveying information, and leaving a lasting impression on visitors.
We consider the following items when deciding on your site’s content: brand identity such as colors and logo, compelling graphics and/or photographs, a call to action form, a lead magnet, a blog and other items to increase audience retention times.
The content of a website informs, engages, and builds trust with your audience, while also supporting SEO efforts and brand identity.
The importance of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) preparation in website design cannot be overstated.
SEO is the practice of optimizing your website to rank higher in search engine results, and integrating it into the design process from the beginning is very important even if you don't plan on implementing SEO right away.
By integrating an SEO friendly structure from the outset, you lay the foundation for your site to later rank well in search results without having to re-design your site.
The website development process doesn’t end at launch, which is why we offer a comprehensivewebsite maintenance program to keep your site current, secure, and performing optimally.
Regularly making informed revisions ensures your website remains current, user-friendly, and aligned with your goals and audience’s expectations.
Once launched, we provide you with the tools you need to continually refine your website and meet the ever-changing digital landscape to drive success for your business.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the ROI of investing in professional web design vs DIY website builders?
Professional web design typically delivers significantly higher conversion rates than DIY solutions. While template sites cost less upfront, custom design pays for itself through improved user experience, faster load times, and better search rankings. A poorly performing website can cost businesses 20–30% of potential revenue annually — that's the real cost of cutting corners on design.
How long should a business website redesign project take?
Most website redesigns take 8–12 weeks from discovery to launch. That timeline includes strategy development (2 weeks), design and development (6–8 weeks), content creation, and testing. Rushing the process often results in costly revisions and poor performance — we'd rather get it right than get it fast.
What makes a website convert visitors into customers?
High-converting websites combine strategic user experience design, compelling calls-to-action, fast loading speeds, mobile optimization, and trust signals like testimonials and certifications. The most effective sites guide visitors through a clear path from awareness to action — every layout decision is made with your business goals in mind, not just aesthetics.
Should SEO be included in web design from the beginning?
Absolutely — and this is one of the biggest advantages of working with GO-SEO on your website. Retrofitting SEO after launch costs significantly more than building it in from the start. We integrate technical SEO, site architecture, and content strategy during development, ensuring better search visibility and user experience from day one. Great design means nothing if your audience can't find you.
How much should a business budget for professional web design?
Most business websites range from $5,000–$25,000 depending on complexity, custom functionality, and integrations needed. We're transparent about pricing — you won't need to schedule a call just to find out what something costs. Every engagement also begins with a $750 onboarding fee covering your technical audit, competitive analysis, and strategy build, so we're already moving on day one.
What's the difference between web design and web development?
Web design focuses on user experience, visual layout, and conversion optimization. Web development handles the technical build, integrations, and functionality. The best results come from teams that integrate both disciplines rather than treating them as separate services — which is exactly how we approach every project at GO-SEO.
How do you measure website performance after launch?
We track the metrics that matter: conversion rate improvements, organic traffic growth, page load speeds, mobile usability scores, and lead generation increases. We use Google Analytics 4 and Google Search Console as our primary data sources so numbers are always verifiable. Most clients see measurable improvements within 30–60 days of launch.
What specific strategies do you use to turn website visitors into paying customers?
We implement proven conversion optimization techniques: strategic call-to-action placement, trust-building elements, lead capture systems, and user experience optimization informed by heatmap analysis. Our clients typically see significant increases in leads and conversions compared to their previous sites. The goal is a website that works as a 24/7 sales tool — even when you're not at your desk.
Does GO-SEO offer a discount if we do both a new website and SEO?
Yes. We offer a 20% discount on your first three months of SEO services when you bundle it with a new website build. This combination not only saves you money but ensures your site is optimized from day one — giving you a competitive advantage in search rankings right from launch rather than having to retrofit SEO later.
What platform do you build websites on, and can I manage it myself?
We build on WordPress, the platform we recommend for SEO performance and long-term flexibility. After launch, we provide training so you can manage everyday content updates yourself. And if you'd rather not deal with it, our website maintenance program keeps your site current, secure, and performing optimally on an ongoing basis.
