What we do
Six pieces that work together. Miss one and the whole thing underperforms — which is why we don't sell them à la carte unless you already have the rest handled.
Hand-coded, mobile-first sites built for contractors — no page builders, no bloat.
Learn moreRank in your service area for the jobs with real margin, not vanity keywords.
Learn moreOwn the map pack — the three results that get the calls before anyone scrolls.
Learn moreSub-second loads on cellular. Google ranks it, and customers feel it.
Seven in ten of your visitors are on a phone. That's where we design first.
Hosting, updates, backups, security and unlimited content edits — handled.
Recent work
Every one of these replaced something slow, generic or invisible. The numbers underneath are what changed in the twelve months after launch.
Roofing
Northline Roofing
Tile and flat-roof specialist with no web presence beyond a Facebook page. Built around re-roofs, solar-ready prep and eight coastal and inland communities.
HVAC
Keystone Heating & Air
Ten-year-old WordPress site taking nine seconds to load on mobile. Rebuilt from scratch with a maintenance-plan signup flow.
Remodeling
Granite Bay Remodeling
High-end kitchen and bath contractor who needed the site to match the work. Gallery-led design with financing built into the quote flow.
Plumbing
Vanguard Plumbing Co.
Emergency plumber competing with three franchise operations. Won on speed — the site loads and the phone number is one tap away.
Landscaping
Cedar Creek Landscaping
Lawn-maintenance crew bidding the same jobs as everyone else. Added turf-replacement and water-rebate pages that now book the calendar months out.
Electrical
Ironhill Electric
Residential electrician moving into commercial work. Two audiences, one site, without either one feeling like an afterthought.
Performance
Speed isn't a technical vanity metric — it's the first filter every visitor passes through, and most contractor sites fail it before a word is read.
The typical contractor site
Representative mobile PageSpeed scores. Run yours at pagespeed.web.dev — under 50 means you're losing real work every week.
Core Web Vitals are a confirmed ranking factor. A slow site is fighting the algorithm before it competes on anything else.
Most of your traffic is on a phone, often on cellular at a job site. Every extra second costs you roughly a fifth of those visitors.
Faster pages mean more visitors staying, more forms filled and better engagement signals — which feeds back into rankings.
Most contractor sites in your market load in four seconds or worse. It's the cheapest edge available and almost nobody takes it.
How it works
You'll know what's happening at every stage and who to call. That shouldn't be a selling point, and yet here we are.
Thirty minutes on the phone. What jobs make you the most money, what towns you'll drive to, who you keep losing bids to, and where leads are coming from now. No pitch deck.
We come back with the keyword research, a competitor teardown and a page-by-page plan. You see exactly what's getting built and what each page is meant to rank for before anyone writes code.
You review a design of the homepage first. Once it's approved, the rest of the site gets built to match and you get a live preview link you can watch fill in day by day.
We handle DNS, redirects and the Search Console setup so nothing drops. Then analytics and call tracking go live, and you get a monthly note on what's working.

Founder & Lead Developer
Meet the owner
GME Designs is a one-person shop by design. Before this I spent years on the other side of the table — buying and renovating property in San Diego, hiring contractors, and watching good crews lose work to worse crews who simply showed up higher on Google.
That's the whole reason this business exists. I know what your day actually looks like, why you don't have time to fight with a website, and which jobs are worth chasing. When you call, you get me — not a ticket number.
Pricing
Same site either way. Monthly spreads the cost and keeps everything maintained; one-time hands you the keys. Pick whichever suits your cash flow.

Client reviews
Six months in, nobody talks about the design. They talk about the calls.
“I'd been through two web guys before Garett. Both took the money and disappeared. This one answers the phone, and the site has paid for itself many times over. We're booked out six weeks.”
“Our old site took nine seconds to load. Nine. Garett rebuilt it and now it's under a second, and we went from maybe two form fills a week to two a day. The difference was immediate.”
“What sold me was that he asked which jobs actually make us money before he talked about design. Nobody else did that. The whole site is built around the work we want more of.”
“We're a three-truck shop going up against franchises with real ad budgets. We can't outspend them, but we show up above them on the map now, and that's what matters.”
“We were bidding the same lawn work as every other crew in town. He built pages around the water rebates nobody was bothering to explain, and now people call us already knowing what they want. I didn't even know to ask for that.”
“Straight answers, no jargon, no surprise invoices. I text him a change and it's live the same day. After the last agency, that alone is worth the monthly.”
Questions
If yours isn't here, call and ask. You'll get a straight answer, not a sales pitch.
From the blog
No gatekeeping. If you'd rather do this yourself, these will get you most of the way there.
Web Design
The problem usually isn't design. It's that the site was never built to be found, and nobody told the owner that was a separate thing.
Local SEO
The map pack sends more calls than your website does. Here's the full list of what to fix, in the order that matters.
Performance
Every extra second of load time on mobile costs you roughly a fifth of your visitors. Here's what that works out to in real money.
