Custom website development from $799: design, WordPress, e-commerce, speed, SEO foundations, and ongoing care. Remote-first, building for US businesses since 2015.
Updated · Written by Habib Ahmed, founder and lead developer
A website development company designs, builds, and maintains websites for businesses. The work covers custom design, front-end and back-end development, CMS setup, e-commerce, technical SEO, speed optimization, security, and ongoing support. Websloop is a website development company for small and mid-size US businesses, building SEO-first sites from $799 that clients fully own.
Most business websites fail in one of three ways: they look like everyone else's template, they load too slowly to keep visitors, or they were built with no SEO foundation so Google barely notices them. Hiring a website development company is how you skip all three. You get a site built around what your business needs it to do, by people who understand that the point of the site is calls, bookings, and sales, not a design award. It becomes your hardest-working marketing asset, earning visibility in search rather than renting attention through ads.
Development is more than design. Design decides how the site looks; development decides how it works, how fast it loads, how Google reads it, and how easily you can update it. A real website development company handles the full stack: custom design, front-end and back-end code, CMS platforms like WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Duda, or Webflow, e-commerce, integrations with your booking and payment tools, technical SEO, speed work, security, and maintenance after launch. When one team owns all of that, nothing falls between the cracks: the design fits the platform, the platform fits the SEO, and the whole thing fits your business.
Our six pillars are website design services, WordPress development, Shopify and e-commerce development, website redesign, SEO and speed optimization, and maintenance and support. Most projects start with a build and grow into care plans and SEO, in that order. See our contractor website design work for what that looks like in practice.
The pattern repeats everywhere. A template site that looks identical to three competitors. A site that takes six seconds to load on a phone, so half the visitors leave before reading anything. A beautiful site with no SEO foundation, invisible to Google. A site locked into a builder or an agency, where every small change costs a ticket and a wait. And behind all of it, no one to call when something breaks. Each of these is a development problem, not a design problem, which is why hiring a website development company beats hiring a designer for a business site.
Once the site is live and working, the next question is getting found. SEO is phase two for us, never an afterthought: see our website design and SEO services for the combined offer, or our contractor SEO program for trade businesses.
Web design is the visual layer: layout, colors, typography, and how the pages feel. Website development is everything underneath and around it: the code, the CMS, the integrations, the speed work, the security, and the SEO foundation. You can buy design alone, but for a business site the design is only as good as the development carrying it. That is why our projects are development-led: the design is approved first, then built properly, so what you sign off on is what ships, fast and ranking-ready.
Design, development, e-commerce, speed, SEO foundations, integrations, and care. One team, one fixed quote, everything you need to launch.
The core of professional web development services: a site designed from your business, not a template, then built properly. Discovery first, so we know what the site must do. Then design you approve, clean front-end and back-end development, testing on real phones, and a launch checklist. Every page is built to load fast, read well on mobile, and push visitors toward calling, booking, or buying.
The pieces that connect your site to your business: CRMs, booking and scheduling tools, payment gateways, email marketing, review systems, analytics, and custom APIs. Custom CMS development services are available when WordPress or another platform needs to do something specific. We pick integrations that reduce your manual work, not add to it.
WordPress powers a huge share of business websites, and we build on it properly: custom themes, not bloated page-builder stacks, so the site stays fast and editable. WordPress website design and development services are our most common engagement, from contractor sites to content-heavy business sites. You get an admin panel you can actually use, with training, and you own the site, the theme, and the content outright.
Online stores on WooCommerce and Shopify: product pages that load fast, checkout flows tuned for conversion, payment and shipping setup, and the SEO structure a store needs to rank for product searches. Whether you call it ecommerce or e-commerce, the work is the same: an online store engineered for revenue. We handle migrations too, with redirect plans so an existing store does not lose its rankings in the move. The goal is revenue, not just a catalog that looks nice.
Every site ships with the SEO foundation most templates skip: proper titles and meta descriptions, heading structure, schema markup, XML sitemap, clean URLs and site architecture, and mobile-first design. This is the setup that lets Google understand and rank your pages from day one, and it is how your business information stays accurate and findable across search. Ongoing SEO campaigns are separate and quoted separately, but the foundation is never an add-on with us.
When a template cannot do the job, we build it: booking systems, quote calculators, member areas, dashboards, and internal tools. Custom application development services are scoped the same honest way as everything else: fixed quote, defined deliverables, you own the code. If a web app is not the right answer, we say that before you spend anything.
Google measures how fast your main content appears (LCP), how quickly the page responds (INP), and how stable the layout is (CLS), and slow sites lose visitors before they read a word. Speed work is baked into every build: image compression, clean code, caching, and hosting guidance. Website performance is measured, not assumed: our Professional builds target 90+ speed scores, shown to you on real test runs, not promised in a proposal.
A website is software, and software needs care: updates, backups, uptime monitoring, security checks, and someone to call when something breaks. Care plans run $99, $199, or $399 a month. Every build includes post-launch support in the package, and the handover includes your logins, documentation, and a walkthrough, because you own everything and should be able to run it.
Fixed prices, agreed in writing before work starts. No hourly billing, no vague retainers that drift upward.
Website Starter
$799
Built for a new or small contractor business that needs a real website instead of just a Facebook page.
Website Professional
$1,499
Sized for growing roofing, plumbing and construction companies that need a custom site built to bring in calls and quote requests.

Established contractors that need service-area pages, several locations, or custom features like estimate tools start here.
Care plans are separate and optional: $99, $199, or $399 a month for updates, backups, security monitoring, and small edits. You own the site, the domain, the content, and everything we build for you from day one either way. Full breakdown on our pricing page.
Who we are not for: Not the right fit if you want a DIY template you will build yourself, or if what you mainly need is paid ads managed or a native mobile app. We build websites, fix them, get them found and look after them; we do not manage ad spend.
01
Discovery and a fixed quote
We learn what the site must do: who it is for, what action visitors should take, what you sell, and what is broken about the current site. You get a fixed quote in writing with exactly what is included, the delivery window, and the price. No hourly billing, no scope that quietly expands.
02
Design you approve
Homepage and key page designs first, built around your content and your buyers, not a gallery of trends. You review and approve the look before a line of final code is written, so there are no surprises at the end. Revisions are part of the package, with the round count stated up front.
03
Build and quality checks
Development on the approved design: clean code, responsive on every screen size, speed optimization, SEO foundations, forms tested, analytics connected. We test on real phones and browsers, fix what breaks, and walk you through the site before it goes live.
04
Launch and ongoing support
Careful launch with redirects if you are replacing an old site, so you keep your rankings. Then post-launch support (15 to 90 days depending on package) while everything settles. After that, care plans are optional and quoted separately. The site, the domain, the content, and the logins are all in your name from day one.
Most website development companies either chase enterprise contracts or sell cheap templates. We live in the middle: professional web development services sized for businesses that need the site to produce leads. Fixed prices, direct access to the lead developer, and delivery in weeks, not quarters.
Almost nobody in this space publishes prices. We do, down to the dollar, because a business owner comparing website development companies deserves numbers before a sales call. The quote you sign matches the price on the pricing page, line for line.
The site, the code, the theme, the content, the domain, the logins, all in your name from day one, written into the agreement. If you ever leave, everything goes with you. Do not sign with any development company if cancellation means losing your own website.
No native mobile apps, no paid ads management, no vague monthly retainers that drift upward. What is included is listed line by line in your quote, and what is not gets named before you pay. Honest scope is why clients stay.
Every month on a site that does not rank, convert, or load properly is a month of lost calls. We will give you a fixed price in writing, usually within one business day, and an honest answer on whether a new build is even what you need.
What businesses ask most before hiring a website development company: what it covers, cost ranges, timelines, post-launch support, SEO, who it is for, mobile apps, international projects, and industry experience.
