Website Development
A pretty website is useless if it doesn't sell. We build high-performance websites designed to convert traffic into leads. Fast load times, clear calls-to-action, and mobile-first design mean you never miss a job because of a clunky site.
The Appalachia Digital Difference
Your website is often the first interaction a potential customer has with your business. In the split second it takes for an image to load or a headline to be read, a visitor decides whether they trust you or if they should hit the 'back' button. If your site is slow, outdated, or hard to navigate on a phone, they will leave and find someone else—likely a competitor with a more professional presence. At Appalachia Digital, we believe your website should be your hardest-working employee, not just a static brochure.
We specialize in conversion-focused web design. This means we don't just care about how it looks (though we make sure it looks elite); we care about how many people click that "Call Now" or "Get a Quote" button. Every element on the page—from the color of the CTA buttons to the placement of testimonials—is strategically choreographed to lead the visitor toward taking action. We use heat-mapping and user-behavior data to understand how people interact with your site and optimize it accordingly.
Mobile optimization is no longer a luxury; it's a fundamental requirement. The vast majority of local searches for services happen on mobile devices, often by someone in a hurry or even an emergency situation. Our websites are built with a "mobile-first" mentality. This is more than just making the text smaller; it's about ergonomic button placement, simplified navigation, and ensuring that the most important information is visible without scrolling.
We also prioritize speed with religious intensity. A site that takes more than 3 seconds to load will lose nearly half its visitors before they even see your name. We use advanced compression, efficient coding practices, and high-performance hosting environments to ensure your site is blazing fast. This isn't just good for users; Google uses page speed as a significant ranking factor, so a fast site is an SEO-friendly site.
Beyond the aesthetics and performance, we build our sites with a solid SEO foundation. This includes proper semantic HTML structure, optimized image alt-tags, internal linking strategies, and schema markup right out of the box. Your site won't just look good; it will be built to rank. We also ensure that the backend is easy for you to manage, or you can let us handle the updates while you focus on your clients.
Don't settle for a digital business card. Get a high-performance marketing machine that actively grows your business while you're out in the field.
