No plugins. No bloat. No handoffs.

# Stop patching plugins. Start getting leads.

Custom-coded, mobile-first sites with local SEO built in.

$0 down, $225/mo. Scoped upfront, launched in ~3-4 weeks.

Full refund if the design isn't 100% right before build starts.

## How we work:no handoffs, no surprises

One person handles scoping, design, code, launch, and support. You always know who to call.

1. ~1-2 days ### Discovery Brief

   You share the services, service areas, customers, proof, and goals so the site can be planned around real business details.
2. ~5-10 days ### Design Review

   You review the first draft in a video call, then we revise it against the approved brief until it matches the agreed direction.
3. ~5-15 days ### Build & Launch

   Once you approve the direction, Hemest codes the site, prepares the launch basics, sends a preview link, tests the important paths, and helps take it live.
4. Ongoing ### Support

   Monthly plan covers hosting, maintenance, routine edits, and support. One person stays responsible after launch.

## Why small businesses choose custom-coded websites

No plugins to patch, no templates to fight, no runaround when you need help. Your site stays fast, stays secure, and comes with a real person who built it.

- ### [Lower Maintenance](https://hemest.ca/vs/custom-vs-wordpress-diy)

  No plugin updates, no security patches, no page-builder bloat. Your site keeps running without turning into a weekly chore — so you can focus on your business, not your website.
- ### Built For Speed

  Lean code and optimized assets mean your site loads fast on every device. Visitors stay on the page, search engines rank it higher, and you keep leads that would bounce from a slow site.
- ### Direct Support

  When something needs to change, you talk to the person who built your site. No ticket queues, no account-manager handoffs — just direct answers from the person responsible.
- ### Custom Designed

  Your site is built around your services, your market, and the action you want visitors to take — not squeezed into a generic template that looks like every competitor.
