Your website is often your customers’ first impression of your brand. At Sandy Neck Media, we specialize in custom website and web app development to make that impression count. Our team of designers and developers works with you from concept to launch to build a beautiful, user-friendly site that reflects your unique brand. With over 60% of web traffic now on mobile devices, we always start with mobile-first, responsive designs that look great on phones, tablets, and desktops. Every site we build is tailored to your goals: for example, we craft custom WordPress sites with unique layouts and features that perfectly match your brand identity (no cookie-cutter templates here). WordPress powers 43.5% of all websites, so our expertise ensures your site is built on a proven, flexible platform.

Our Services

We offer comprehensive solutions tailored to your specific business needs.

Custom WordPress & CMS Development

We build flexible, content-driven websites using top CMS platforms (like WordPress, Drupal, or Joomla). These sites come with easy-to-use editing interfaces so you or your team can update content, add pages, or publish blog posts without touching code. A good CMS lets marketing and development teams work in parallel without bottlenecks, and our custom themes/plugins ensure your site stays fast, secure, and uniquely branded.

Custom Web Applications & Platforms

For more complex needs, we build bespoke web applications tailored exactly to your business processes. This could be an internal dashboard, a booking/reservation system, a customer portal, or any custom solution your company needs. Our developers write scalable, secure code and integrate with existing databases or software so your app fits seamlessly into your workflow. Custom web apps unlock new efficiencies – they’re built to expand and adapt as you grow, and they can integrate with your other systems, eliminating data silos and automating tasks.

Shopify & E-commerce Solutions

Ready to sell online? We create and customize Shopify stores (the leading e-commerce platform at about 29% of online shops) as well as WooCommerce, Magento, or custom shopping carts. Our e-commerce development includes product catalogs, secure payment gateways, inventory management, and smooth checkout flows. The result is a reliable, user-friendly online store that builds trust and converts visitors into customers. Whether you need a quick Shopify setup or a complex multi-vendor marketplace, we cover it all.

Responsive, Mobile-First Design

Every site we build is responsive, meaning it adapts and looks great on any device. We code with mobile screens in mind, optimizing layouts and images so pages load quickly and navigation is easy on smartphones. Google even recommends responsive web design as best practice. Mobile-friendly sites also keep customers engaged: research shows that when users can easily navigate a site on their phone, conversion rates go up and bounce rates go down. In short, our mobile-first approach ensures your website delights visitors and performs well in search.

Website Redesign & Refresh

If your current site feels outdated or isn’t meeting your goals, we can give it a complete makeover. We’ll update the look and feel with modern design trends, reorganize content for clarity, and improve site speed and performance. Whether it’s a minor facelift or a full rebuild, we’ll ensure the new design aligns with your brand and business objectives, so your website doesn’t just look good, it works harder to convert visitors into leads or sales.

Business Benefits of Custom Development

  • Higher Conversion Rates: Custom design and optimized layouts guide visitors to take action. By building user-friendly navigation and clear calls-to-action, we help turn more visitors into leads or customers.

  • Unique Brand Identity: Your website will stand out from competitors. A custom site reflects your brand’s personality and values, creating trust and a memorable impression with your audience.

  • SEO & Performance Advantage: We build sites that load fast and follow SEO best practices from the start. This improves search rankings and ensures visitors have a smooth experience, increasing engagement and repeat visits.

  • Flexibility & Scalability: As your business grows, your website can grow with you. Custom solutions allow easy feature additions and updates, so you’re not locked into a template that can’t adapt.

  • Dedicated Support & Growth: With our agency handling development, you benefit from ongoing advice and improvements. We keep an eye on new trends and technologies, implementing updates that continue to boost your ROI.

Our Development Process

Our Development Process is simple and transparent. We collaborate with you every step of the way to ensure the final product matches your vision and business objectives.

  • Discovery & Planning: We start by learning about your business, goals, and audience. This may include stakeholder interviews and competitor analysis to inform our strategy. Together, we define project scope, functionalities, and timelines.

  • Design & Prototyping: Next, our designers create wireframes and mockups that outline the site’s structure and user flow. We refine these designs based on your feedback to ensure the user experience is intuitive and on-brand.

  • Development & Coding: Once the design is approved, our developers bring it to life. We write clean, efficient code following best practices for performance and security. During this stage, we set up your chosen CMS or web application framework and integrate all required features (e.g. e-commerce, forms, databases).

  • Testing & Quality Assurance: Before launch, we rigorously test the site on multiple devices and browsers. We check for speed, usability, and functionality (forms, links, checkout, etc.). Any issues are fixed so that the site is rock-solid at launch.

  • Launch & Optimization: We deploy your website or web app to your hosting environment and do a final round of tests. After launch, we monitor performance and make any needed tweaks. We can also assist with SEO setup and analytics tracking to help you measure success.

  • Ongoing Support: Post-launch, we remain available for maintenance, updates, and any future enhancements. You’ll have peace of mind knowing we’re here to ensure your site stays fast, secure, and aligned with your evolving needs.

Technologies We Use

We build on industry-standard tools and platforms to ensure your website or app is reliable and future-proof, without confusing you with technical jargon. For example:

  • Popular content management and e-commerce platforms that allow easy content updates and store management.

  • The core technologies that make websites interactive and mobile-friendly.

  • Powerful back-end languages we use to handle data and server tasks securely.

  • Scalable databases for storing your information safely.

  • We may use libraries like React or Vue.js for dynamic interfaces when needed.

Custom vs. Template Websites

When planning a new website, it’s important to weigh the pros and cons of using a template versus building a fully custom site. While templates can be quick and inexpensive to launch, they come with certain limitations:

Template Websites:

Pre-made designs that are quick and cheap to implement. However, they offer limited customization and may not align perfectly with your brand or SEO needs. Custom features are hard to add, and as your business grows, you may find the template restrictive.

Custom Websites:

Fully tailored sites designed around your objectives. They may require more investment upfront, but they pay off by providing a unique user experience, better performance, and the ability to evolve with your business. You get full control over every element, which can lead to higher conversions and a stronger online presence.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • It depends on the complexity and scope of your project. A basic small-business site often takes around 6–8 weeks from start to finish. A more complex site, like a large e-commerce store or custom web app, can take several months. We work with you to define milestones and deliverables (through planning, design, development, and testing) and strive to stay on schedule while ensuring high quality.

  • Every project is different, so pricing varies based on features, design requirements and technology. A simple informational site built on a CMS will be less expensive than a fully custom enterprise platform or large e-commerce site. We’ll provide a detailed estimate after understanding your needs. Think of it this way: investing in a high-quality custom website usually pays off through more leads, sales and efficiency compared to cheaper template solutions.

  • Absolutely. We often use user-friendly CMS platforms (like WordPress or Shopify) so you can easily add new content, products, images, or blog posts without coding. In fact, content management systems let marketing and development teams manage content independently. We also provide training and documentation so you feel comfortable making updates. For fully custom apps, we build admin tools to let you manage data (for example, product catalogs or customer records) yourself.

  • Yes – all our websites are built to be mobile-responsive and fast-loading. We follow Google’s recommendations (for example, responsive design is “easiest to implement” for mobile-first indexing) and ensure the site works well on phones and tablets. While our primary focus is development, we also use clean, semantic code and fast performance to support good search visibility. (We can coordinate with your SEO team or handle SEO as a separate service if needed.)

  • We offer maintenance packages to keep your site secure and up-to-date. This can include regular backups, software/plugin updates, uptime monitoring, and quick fixes if anything breaks. You can choose an ongoing plan or request support on an as-needed basis. Either way, you won’t be left on your own after launch – we’ll be available if you need us.

  • Yes, we frequently redesign and migrate existing sites. We’ll review your current site’s content, traffic data, and pain points, then propose a new design and platform (if needed). We handle the entire migration so you don’t lose SEO rankings or content. A redesign can modernize your look, improve usability, and leverage new technology while preserving what’s already working.
