The foundation

Web design and web development that turn visitors into customers.

Web design shapes how your website looks and how people use it. Web development makes the pages, forms, and other features work. Our U.S. team plans, writes, designs, and builds your site. We also offer ongoing support to keep it current as your business changes.

JAWC is a U.S. web design agency. We serve all kinds of clients, including local businesses, nonprofits, and national brands. You own your site, your domain, and your content from the first day.

In-house since 2011 U.S. team Clients coast to coast 5.0 on Google

We fixed the issue keeping a national veterans memorial's website out of Google search, then helped it attract 178,000+ new organic visitors in just over 18 months.

Why owners call us

Your website did not break. It fell behind.

A website rarely fails all at once. Pages go out of date, a form stops sending, the site loads slowly on mobile devices, and each one makes it a little harder for a customer to choose you.

  • The design looks dated and no longer matches your business.
  • A contact form stopped sending and nobody noticed.
  • The site loads slowly or is not optimized for mobile devices.
  • The services listed are not the services you sell now.
  • You cannot make a simple update without emailing somebody.
  • You cannot tell whether it has produced an inquiry.

Every channel you pay for sends people here. A current website makes all of it work harder.
What you get

What your website plan includes.

Every website we build is custom to the business it serves. Your plan includes design, copywriting, and development, shaped around your services, your customers, and the site you have today. Ongoing support after launch is a separate plan.

The pages

Design and pages built around your business

We build websites that show your business at its best, with pages that explain each service clearly and make it easy to get in touch. We handle the design and the writing together, so the site reads well and works on every device. A contractor, a law firm, and a clinic each need something different from a website, and we cover each in home services marketing, how we market law firms, and healthcare practice marketing.

  • A page for each service you want to sell more of
  • The answer near the top of the page
  • Designed for mobile devices first
  • Written in the plain language your customers use
The base

Built for speed and search

We build sites to load fast, with a clean structure that search engines can read. Visitors never see this part, and the design and your marketing both depend on it. After launch, that foundation is what our ongoing SEO service builds on.

  • Built light, so pages load on a weak signal
  • Headings and structure search engines can follow
  • Structured data that matches the visible page
  • Built with accessibility in mind
The way in

Contact options that work

Your website includes contact forms and click-to-call links, with online booking, text, or chat available when your plan includes them.

  • Every contact option tested before launch
  • Checked again on a schedule under a support plan
  • Inquiries traced to their source, when your plan includes tracking
  • Short forms that are quick to complete
After launch

Website support after launch

We offer ongoing support after launch as a separate plan. We keep your content up to date, monitor your site's speed and performance, and make the changes you request.

  • Content changed when your services or prices change
  • Speed and performance monitored every month
  • Your support plan includes website changes and updates
  • The site, the domain, and the content are yours

Where your marketing lands

Every channel sends people to your website.

People find you through search results, ads, AI recommendations, and social media. They visit your website to learn more and decide whether you're a good fit. A site that loads quickly, answers their questions, and makes it easy to get in touch helps turn that interest into a conversation. Visitors who come from an ad need a page built for that ad, and our guide lists what a PPC landing page needs.

Compare three versions of the same page to see how loading speed, content, and contact options change what the visitor does.

Example search: water heater repair near meOne search, three versions of the page

Choose A, B, or C to compare versions of the page.

Three things we build into every page.

Google includes loading performance in its page experience guidance. The three checks below cover what a visitor needs before getting in touch.

Google's page experience guidance

Speed

Your website should load quickly, especially on mobile devices. We keep pages lightweight so customers can find what they need without a long wait, even on a slower connection.

Clarity

People should be able to tell right away what you do and whether you can help them. We put the information they are looking for near the top and explain it in plain language.

Next step

We make your phone number and contact form easy to find, with online booking, text, or chat if they are part of your plan.

We check every page against these three.

We check new pages and repaired pages the same way, for every service and location you cover.

The process

How we build and support your website.

We start by reviewing your current site and agreeing on the pages your business needs. Then we write, design, build, and launch. Ongoing support is your choice. Page count, existing content, connections to other systems, and the choice between repair and rebuild shape the timeline.

  1. Step 1: Audit and plan

    We review what you have now, what is worth keeping, and which pages you need. If your site needs a repair and not a rebuild, this is where we say so.

  2. Step 2: Write, design, and build

    We write the content and design the pages around your brand, and you approve both before we build. We build for mobile devices first, and the technical base goes in as we build.

  3. Step 3: Test and launch

    Before launch, we test every page and send a real inquiry through every form and contact option. We redirect your old pages to the new ones, then check everything again once the site is live.

  4. Monthly

    Step 4: Maintain and improve

    Keep us on after launch and we make changes when your business changes and check the site on a schedule.

How to choose a web developer

Five questions to ask before hiring anyone to build your website, including us.

Every web developer should be able to answer these five questions.

Each question points to the line in your report that answers it.

Your approvalBefore we buildYou approve the content and the design.

Site, domain, and content ownership

Who owns the site, the domain, and the content?

You own all three from the first day. The domain, the site, and the content are yours, in working order, no matter who you hire next.

What the website is built on

What platform do you use, and can another developer take over?

We choose the platform that best fits your business. Often, that is WordPress, with a theme and forms built by our team and no page builder. Your report lists what the site runs on, so another developer can understand the setup and take over if you choose.

Pages written and technical changes

Who writes the content and builds the website?

Our U.S. team handles both. Under a support plan, the monthly report lists that work with dates.

Fees and running costs

What will it cost to keep my website running?

Your hosting and domain accounts stay in your name, and you pay those providers directly. Once we've reviewed your website, we'll send you a written quote for our work. Your report breaks down our fees separately from hosting and domain costs, so you can see what each service costs.

Changes made this month Contact options tested Updates and fixes

What happens after launch?

We offer ongoing support plans to keep your site up to date as your business changes. The reporting section below shows what you receive.

Choose the right team for your website.

Whether you hire in-house or work with an agency, you need design, writing, development, and ongoing support. Our team handles all four.

Start with the site you have.

We look at your current website and talk through what you need it to do. Then we recommend a repair or a rebuild. The section below shows how we decide. You will get the work and cost explained before you decide.

Put these five questions to us.

A side-by-side comparison

Three ways to get a website built.

Three ways to get a website built and kept current: work with an agency, hire in-house, or do it yourself. The rows below show who does the work, what you get at launch, and who owns the site in each case.

What to compareJAWC Hiring in-house Doing it yourself
Who does the work Our own team in the United States One developer you employ You, after the workday ends
What you get at launch A site built around the searches you want, with every contact option tested The pages one developer can build in the time you give them The pages you have time to build
What you get a year later A site kept current and working, if you keep us on As current as their workload allows As current as your evenings allow
Who checks the forms We do, on a schedule, under a support plan Your developer, on the schedule you set You, when a customer mentions it
Making a change Part of that support plan You ask, it goes on their list An evening you were not planning to spend
Who owns it You, always You, if it was built under your accounts You, inside the platform's terms
Pricing Quoted after the audit. You pay for hosting and the domain directly. A salary, employment costs and the tools A platform subscription, plus your nights and weekends

Whichever you choose, the site should be in your name.

What you see every month

Know what changed on your website every month.

If you keep us on after launch, your monthly report shows what changed, what we checked, what we found, and what we recommend next. When your plan includes tracking, it also shows the calls, forms, messages, and bookings your website produced and where each one came from, so you can see which channels bring you business.

Cost factors

How much does a website cost?

Website prices vary widely, because the work does. A site with a few pages for one service is a much smaller job than a site covering many services and locations, or one that connects to your other systems. Four things set the cost of yours. Once we've reviewed your site, we'll explain the work and the price.

We go through your website and how it shows up in search before we recommend changes.

Services and locations

The quote lists the pages and the work included, along with the price.

Repair or rebuild

Do you need a new website?

Not necessarily. Some sites need focused updates: new pages, faster loading, a refreshed design, or a contact form repaired. Others cannot be extended or describe a business you no longer run, and a rebuild is the better investment.

We review the design, the speed, and the structure, then tell you which one applies to you. You get our recommendation, the work involved, and the price before you decide.

Before you hire

Questions about web design andĀ development.

If your question is not here, call us. We will tell you exactly what the service includes.

The price depends on page count, services and locations, repair or rebuild work, and connections to other systems. After the audit, we'll give you a written quote that lists the pages and work included, so you know what you're getting and what it costs before we start.

Web design is how the site looks and how somebody moves through it. Web development is what makes it work: the build, the speed, the forms, and the structure search engines read. The two terms are often used to mean the same thing. A website needs both, and JAWC handles both.

Yes, we do. If you already have a website, bring it to the audit. We'll tell you whether we can take it over as it is or what it needs first.

You own the domain, website and content from day one. You keep everything in working order with full access.

No. We do not sell hosting. You hold the hosting account directly, in your name. We tell you what the site needs, help you set it up, and work with the hosting you already have when it is a good fit.

Yes. We can often repair the website you already have. The audit tells us which one applies, and a repair is faster and costs less than a rebuild when it is an option.

Timing depends on page count, existing content, connections to other systems and whether we repair or rebuild. After the audit, we send you the list of work and how long we expect it to take.

Our U.S. team has been building websites since 2011. If you choose an ongoing support plan, the same team handles updates and checks after launch.
