CUSTOM WEBSITES

Custom websites built for search visibility and growth.

I build websites as business systems, not just visual pages. You can see examples in my selected work and explore the broader business technology services I build around them. The structure, code, content model, analytics, and publishing workflow are designed together so the site can be fast, maintainable, easy to expand, and understandable to search engines.

SEO implementation is part of the build.

SEO should not be something added after a website launches. I build the technical foundation into the site from the beginning so pages have a clear structure and search engines can discover, crawl, understand, and index the content efficiently.

Technical SEO: clean URLs, canonical tags, robots directives, XML sitemaps, redirects, metadata, and crawl-friendly navigation.
Structured data: appropriate Schema.org markup for pages, articles, organizations, services, breadcrumbs, and other relevant content.
On-page structure: semantic headings, internal links, descriptive titles, meta descriptions, image alt text, and logical content hierarchy.
Performance: responsive layouts, optimized assets, efficient code, and attention to Core Web Vitals.
Measurement: analytics and search-console readiness so search performance can be measured after launch.

A custom blogging engine instead of a bolted-on blog.

For businesses that need ongoing organic search growth, I can build a custom blogging engine directly into the website. The approach supports the same search-focused publishing strategy used throughout the Ellachka blog. Articles use the same design system, navigation, SEO rules, structured data, and analytics as the rest of the site.

Draft, scheduled, published, and archived article workflows
SEO titles, meta descriptions, canonical URLs, and social metadata
Categories, related content, internal linking, and article discovery
Automatic sitemap integration and structured article data
Featured images, article media, author information, and publishing dates
Content administration without depending on a generic CMS template

Built around Google’s published search standards.

The blogging engine is designed to support the technical and content practices Google documents for search-friendly websites. That means the publishing system helps enforce the fundamentals instead of relying on someone to remember them for every article.

Search Essentials: crawlable links, indexable pages, descriptive page titles, useful content structure, and controls for canonical URLs and robots directives.
Structured data: valid Article, Breadcrumb, Organization, and other appropriate Schema.org markup where it accurately represents the page.
Helpful content: author attribution, clear publication and update dates, readable page structure, and editorial fields that support people-first content.
Image and media SEO: descriptive alt text, meaningful filenames, responsive media, and performance-conscious image handling.
Performance and usability: mobile-responsive templates, accessible navigation, efficient page delivery, and support for Core Web Vitals improvements.
Indexing controls: XML sitemap integration, canonical management, redirects, noindex controls when needed, and clean permanent URLs.

Integrated website traffic reports.

The website can include its own traffic reporting dashboard so important performance data is available with the rest of the site instead of requiring you to jump between separate tools.

Traffic trends by day, week, month, and custom date range
Top landing pages and most-viewed content
Traffic sources and referral websites
Search traffic and available query data from connected search platforms
Device and visitor behavior summaries
Campaign and UTM reporting
Article-level performance for the custom blogging engine
Integrated analytics reporting using connected measurement services such as GA4

Keyword analytics built into the reporting.

Search visibility is easier to improve when keyword performance sits beside traffic and content data. The reporting layer can bring together available search-query data and tracked keyword research so you can see which topics are gaining visibility and where new content opportunities exist.

Search queries: impressions, clicks, click-through rate, and average position when available from connected search data.
Keyword trends: monitor how important search terms change over time instead of looking at a single snapshot.
Landing-page mapping: connect queries and target keywords to the pages and articles intended to rank for them.
Content opportunities: identify queries receiving impressions but weak clicks, pages approaching stronger positions, and subjects that may deserve deeper coverage.
Keyword research: store search-volume and competitive research from connected keyword-data providers alongside the content plan.
Blog performance: compare published articles with the queries, landing-page traffic, and organic visibility they generate.

Built around the business.

A custom website can grow beyond marketing pages. For businesses with field-service needs, see my contractor website development approach. It can also connect with AI integration and other business systems. Forms can connect to business workflows, customer inquiries can feed internal systems, and the site can later expand into scheduling, dashboards, portals, payments, reporting, or other application features.
