WEB DESIGN EXPLAINED
What a Great Business Website Actually Does
Most small business websites look okay and perform terribly. Yours should do the opposite: fast enough to rank, clear enough to convert, and simple enough for your team to manage.
A business website has one job: turn the right visitors into paying customers. That means it needs to load fast enough that people don't leave before they see it, look professional enough that they trust you, and make the next step obvious enough that they take it. Most template-built sites fail on all three counts.
FactoryJet approaches web design the way modern SaaS companies do: Figma-first design, then engineering in Next.js or WordPress, with Lighthouse 100 as a non-negotiable target. We don't use page builders, visual editors, or bloated themes. The result is a site that loads fast, ranks well, and looks intentional — because it was designed for your specific business, not adapted from someone else's template.
We've built for home service companies, law firms, medical practices, e-commerce brands, SaaS companies, and local restaurants across the US. The design language changes; the standard of craft doesn't. Every project gets the same full Figma design process, the same engineering rigor, and the same Lighthouse audit before launch.

THE PROBLEM
Your website is losing you customers. You might not know it yet.
An outdated, slow, or confusing website doesn't just look unprofessional. It actively costs you leads, conversions, and Google rankings. The good news: it's fixable in 7 days.
Slow sites lose more than half their visitors
53% of mobile users abandon a site that takes more than 3 seconds to load. Most template-built WordPress and Squarespace sites load in 4–6 seconds on mobile 4G. That's not a minor inconvenience — it's more than half your paid ad traffic gone before they see a single word.
Template sites convert at under 1%
The average small business website built on a theme or template converts at 0.5–0.8%. A conversion-optimized custom site converts at 2–4%. On 1,000 monthly visitors at a $500 average sale, that's the difference between $5,000/month and $20,000/month in revenue — from the same traffic.
US agencies charge $8,000–$25,000 for the same work
A mid-tier US web agency charges $2,500+ per page before revisions, project management fees, and hosting markup. FactoryJet delivers the same Figma-first design, Next.js engineering, and Lighthouse 100 performance — at 60–70% less — because of our efficient low-overhead structure with 25 years of serving US clients.

OUR TECH STACK
Modern Web Technologies: Zero Black-Box Builders
We build with the same tools that power Stripe, Vercel, and Linear — not page builders, visual editors, or bloated themes. Your site loads fast because the code is clean.
Next.js & React— Our default for performance-critical business sites and web applications. Static generation, edge caching, and server components mean your pages serve in milliseconds from Cloudflare's global network.
WordPress (Headless or Traditional) — When your team needs a full CMS with editorial workflows, we build on WordPress with custom block themes or a headless setup connected to Next.js on the frontend.
Shopify — For e-commerce, Shopify is our default platform. We build custom Liquid themes or headless Shopify storefronts using the Storefront API, depending on your catalog complexity and performance requirements.
Figma — Every design starts in Figma. You get a shareable design file, a component library, and desktop + mobile mockups for every page before we open a code editor.
Tailwind CSS + TypeScript — We write typed, maintainable frontend code. Future engineers — yours or ours — can extend the codebase without archaeology.

THE US MARKET
US Small Businesses Can't Afford a Bad Website in 2025
94% of first impressions are design-related. Your potential customers decide whether to trust you in 0.05 seconds — before they read a single word. If your website looks outdated, loads slowly, or doesn't work on mobile, that impression doesn't get a second chance.
FactoryJet has been building websites for US small businesses since 1999. We've served companies in Austin, Miami, Denver, Nashville, Portland, Charlotte, Raleigh, Tampa, and across the country. We understand what a 10-person service business needs from a website — not enterprise-level complexity, but professional design, fast performance, and a clear path to contact.
The businesses that invest in a well-built website don't just look better — they convert better, rank better, and spend less on paid traffic to get the same results. A $1,999 website that converts at 3% outperforms a $30/month template site converting at 0.5% on almost any traffic level.

WHY FACTORYJET
We're not a template shop with a custom logo. That's the point.
FactoryJet has built 500+ production websites for real US businesses since 1999. Every site starts in Figma, gets built with clean code, and ships with a Lighthouse audit you can verify yourself.
7-day delivery — not 12 weeks
US agencies take 6–12 weeks because they have account managers, project coordinators, and approval layers between your brief and the keyboard. We don't. When you brief us, a designer and an engineer work on it. That's why we ship in 7 days.
Figma-first. Build nothing until you approve the design.
We present full desktop and mobile mockups before writing a line of code. If you don't love the direction, we revise — not after launch. This eliminates the expensive rework that burns both time and budget at agencies that build first and ask later.
Full code ownership on launch day
Your codebase lands in your GitHub repository the day you go live. No monthly retainer required to keep the lights on. No proprietary platform you're stuck inside. If you hire a developer later, they can work with it. If you outgrow us, you walk away with a real asset.

How long does it take to build a website?
Most small business websites — up to 5 pages — are designed, built, and launched within 7 business days of your approved design sign-off. Larger sites (6–15 pages) typically take 10–14 business days. Shopify or Next.js e-commerce stores with custom product logic take 3–5 weeks depending on catalog size and integration requirements. We give you a firm timeline after the brief, not before, because scope drives everything.
What does your web design process look like?
Five stages: Discover (a 30-minute brief where we map your goals, audience, competitors, and site architecture), Design (full Figma wireframes and visual mockups — you approve the look before we write code), Build (engineering in Next.js, WordPress, or Shopify with daily commits and a staging URL within 48 hours), Review (two rounds of content and design feedback on the live staging site), and Ship (production launch with DNS transfer, SSL, sitemap submission, and a recorded handover walkthrough).
Do I get to approve the design before you start building?
Yes — always. We present full Figma mockups for every key page before writing a line of code. If you don't love the direction, we revise before we build — not after. This is how we avoid the expensive rework that blows up timelines at most agencies.
Can you redesign my existing website instead of building from scratch?
Yes, and redesigns are one of our most common engagements. We audit your current site, identify what's hurting performance and conversions, carry over any content worth keeping, and rebuild with modern standards. If your current site runs on WordPress, we can often redesign in place without disrupting your URL structure or existing SEO equity.
Can you build a website with booking, scheduling, payment, or intake form capabilities?
Yes — functional capabilities beyond content are a standard part of our website builds. We integrate: appointment booking (Calendly, Cal.com, Acuity Scheduling, or custom-built scheduling logic), intake and lead capture forms (with email + CRM routing to HubSpot, Salesforce, or Pipedrive), online payment for services (Stripe Checkout, Stripe Payment Links, or embedded Stripe Elements), client portal logins (members-only content access), and event registration with payment. For law firms, medical practices, home services, and professional services businesses, these functional elements are often the primary conversion mechanism — FactoryJet builds them with the same care as the design.
Pricing & Ownership
How much does a custom website cost?
FactoryJet's web design starts at $1,999 for a 5-page business website. A full business site with up to 15 pages, a blog, and CMS integration runs $3,999. E-commerce stores, custom Next.js applications, and larger projects start at $7,500 — scoped after a free discovery call. All prices are 60–70% lower than comparable US web agencies.
Do I own the website and code after the project is done?
Yes — 100%. We transfer the full codebase to your GitHub repository on launch day. You own every line of code, all design files in Figma, and all hosting credentials. There are no monthly platform fees owed to FactoryJet, no lock-in, and no dependencies on us to keep your website running. If you outgrow us, you walk away with an asset.
What are the ongoing costs after launch?
Domain registration ($10–$20/year, you own it) and hosting ($10–$50/month depending on traffic and platform — you pay the hosting provider directly, not us). WordPress and Next.js sites can be hosted on Vercel, Cloudflare Pages, or any standard host. That's it — no monthly agency retainer required unless you want ongoing support.
Why is FactoryJet so much cheaper than US agencies?
Our design and engineering team is specialized. That's the answer. The same Next.js expertise, the same Figma design quality, the same Lighthouse 100 performance — at dramatically lower labor costs. We've served US businesses since 1999. We don't have layers of account management, project coordinators, and sales reps inflating your invoice. You brief an engineer and a designer; they build it.
Technical & Performance
What platform will my website be built on?
We build on Next.js (for performance-critical business sites, web apps, and headless setups), WordPress (for content-driven sites where non-technical editors need full CMS control), and Shopify (for e-commerce). We recommend the right platform after understanding your goals — not because we prefer one. All platforms are set up for Core Web Vitals green, mobile-first, and zero vendor lock-in.
What Lighthouse score will my website get?
Our Starter tier guarantees Lighthouse 95+ across all four categories (Performance, Accessibility, Best Practices, SEO). Our Growth and Custom tiers target 98–100. We run PageSpeed Insights and Core Web Vitals checks as part of our QA process before every launch — you see the scores before you sign off.
Will my website work on mobile?
Every website we build is mobile-first — we design for mobile before desktop, not the other way around. We test on physical iOS and Android devices, not just browser emulators, across multiple screen sizes. Tap targets, font sizes, form inputs, and navigation menus are all validated against mobile UX standards.
Can I update my website content without a developer?
Yes. Every site we build includes a way for non-technical users to update content. WordPress and Shopify clients get a native CMS. Next.js clients get a headless CMS setup (Sanity or Contentful) or a simple Markdown-based content layer. We include a recorded walkthrough of your specific CMS on launch day.
Do you build websites with AI features, AI chatbots, or AI-powered functionality?
Yes — AI functionality is increasingly a standard website feature, not a premium add-on. FactoryJet builds: AI chatbots trained on your website content, FAQs, and service catalog (powered by OpenAI or Anthropic, integrated via Vercel AI SDK); AI lead qualification forms that score and route inquiries before they reach your inbox; AI-generated content pipelines that keep your blog and product descriptions updated for AI search (AEO); and AEO-optimized FAQ pages structured to appear in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. AI chatbot integration adds $800–$1,500 to a standard website project and is available on all platform stacks (Next.js, WordPress, Webflow).
SEO & Visibility
Will my website rank on Google?
Every website we deliver includes technical SEO as standard: correct heading structure (H1/H2/H3), optimized meta titles and descriptions, canonical URLs, Open Graph tags, schema markup (Organization, LocalBusiness, FAQPage as appropriate), XML sitemap, robots.txt, and Core Web Vitals optimization. Content-level SEO — keyword research, page-level optimization, and content strategy — is available as a Growth tier add-on.
Will a redesign hurt my existing Google rankings?
Not if we do it properly — and we do. Before any redesign, we audit your current URL structure, identify which pages have existing search equity, and architect the new site to preserve all high-value URLs. Where redirects are needed, we implement 301 redirects correctly. Most clients see rankings improve after redesign because their Lighthouse scores and Core Web Vitals improve significantly.
How do you optimize a website for Google and AI search (AEO)?
FactoryJet builds two layers of search visibility into every website: technical SEO (the baseline every site needs) and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization — the new layer that captures AI-generated search results). Technical SEO includes: Core Web Vitals compliance (Lighthouse 90+), structured data schema (Organization, WebSite, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList, Service), sitemap submission to Google Search Console, canonical URL configuration, and mobile-first page architecture. AEO goes further: FAQ content structured as direct answers to how your buyers search in ChatGPT and Perplexity, entity markup that identifies your business to AI knowledge graphs, and 'People Also Ask' optimization. AEO is 18–24 months ahead of where most US web agencies are — early adopters are winning AI answer positions competitors haven't claimed.
Trust & Results
How is FactoryJet different from a US web agency?
Three differences that matter: price (60–70% cheaper because of our efficient low-overhead structure, serving US businesses for 25+ years), speed (7-day delivery on standard sites — most US agencies quote 6–12 weeks), and ownership (you get the full codebase on launch day — no retainer required to keep your site online). We've delivered 500+ websites for US businesses across every industry. We aren't selling you a template with a custom logo.
Do you have examples of websites you've built?
Yes — our portfolio is at factoryjet.com/portfolio and covers business websites, e-commerce stores, landing pages, and web applications across multiple industries. On strategy calls we'll share relevant examples for your specific industry and use case.
Does FactoryJet offer website maintenance and ongoing support after launch?
Yes — every website project includes a 14–30 day post-launch support window for bug fixes and minor adjustments. Beyond that, FactoryJet offers monthly website maintenance plans from $199/month: WordPress security updates, plugin and theme updates, daily automated backups, uptime monitoring, and 2 hours of content and minor design changes per month. For Next.js and Webflow sites, maintenance includes dependency updates, performance monitoring, and content updates. Maintenance clients also get priority response windows for urgent issues and access to a dedicated engineer who knows their site's codebase. Unmanaged websites develop security vulnerabilities and performance degradation within 6–12 months — maintenance prevents both.
