Our Approach to Web Design

Hand-Coded Websites Built for Speed and Results

We don’t rely on WordPress themes, page builders, or templates. Every website we create is hand-coded using modern technology like Astro, delivering under-one-second load times, stronger security, and sites that actually convert visitors into customers.

  • 100% Custom Code

    No templates or page builders. Just clean, hand-written code tailored to your business goals and audience.

  • Lightning-fast Performance

    Static sites built with Astro load 2–3x faster than most WordPress sites, improving user experience and search performance.

  • Mobile-first Design

    Designed mobile-first so your site looks great and works perfectly on phones, tablets, and desktops.

  • Enterprise-level Security

    Static sites have no databases or plugins to hack, making them far harder to compromise than typical CMS sites.

  • Direct Access to a Senior Developer

    Work directly with an experienced developer based in San Diego. No outsourcing, no ticket maze, just clear communication.

  • Conversion-focused UX

    Every section is structured to guide visitors toward taking action, turning qualified traffic into real leads and revenue.

The Cost of Slow Websites

Every Second Counts—Literally

Website speed isn't just about user experience. It directly impacts your bottom line, your ad spend, and whether visitors even stay long enough to see what you offer.

  • 53%

    of mobile users abandon sites that take over 3 seconds to load

    Google/SOASTA Research
  • 7%

    decrease in conversions for every 1-second delay

    Akamai
  • 32%

    higher bounce rate for pages loading in 3s vs 1s

    Google
  • 2x

    more ad spend needed to overcome slow page speeds

Why This Matters to Your Business

Speed Affects Every Dollar You Spend and Earn

  • Your Ad Budget Is Being Wasted

    If your site loads slowly, you're paying for clicks that bounce. Google and Facebook penalize slow sites with higher CPC. A fast site means lower acquisition costs and higher ROI on every marketing dollar.

  • You're Invisible to Google

    Core Web Vitals are now a ranking factor. Slow sites get buried in search results. Your competitors with faster sites are capturing the organic traffic that should be yours—without paying for ads.

  • WordPress Maintenance Is Killing Your Time

    Plugin updates, security patches, compatibility conflicts, emergency fixes when your site breaks. The average business owner spends 4-8 hours per month on WordPress maintenance—time better spent running your business.

  • Security Vulnerabilities Put You at Risk

    WordPress powers 43% of the web—making it the #1 target for hackers. 70% of WordPress sites have at least one vulnerability. A single breach can cost thousands in recovery, lost revenue, and damaged reputation.

  • Hidden Costs Add Up Fast

    Premium plugins, managed hosting, security services, emergency developer fixes, theme updates, database optimization. What started as a $50/month site becomes $200+/month—and it's still slow and vulnerable.

  • <1s Average Page Load Time
  • 14 days Turnaround Time
  • $165/mo Starting Price
  • 99.9% Uptime Guarantee
Why Choose Oui Digital

What Makes Us Different

We're not another WordPress agency promising "fast" sites. We're San Diego's only web design agency specializing exclusively in hand-coded static websites for small businesses.

  • 14-Day Turnaround

    Most agencies take 6-12 weeks. We deliver production-ready sites in 2 weeks. No delays, no excuses, no waiting months for your site to go live.

  • Fortune 500 Expertise

    I've built high-performance sites for Salesforce, IBM, and enterprise clients. Now I bring that same technical excellence to San Diego small businesses—without the $50K+ price tag.

  • True Bilingual Support

    As a native French speaker, I provide genuine bilingual French/English sites—not Google Translate, but culturally adapted content that resonates with both audiences. Perfect for businesses targeting international markets.

  • Zero WordPress Maintenance

    No plugins to update. No security patches. No emergency fixes when something breaks at 2am. Your site just works, month after month, year after year.

  • Predictable Monthly Cost

    No surprise bills. No hidden fees. No premium plugins to buy. $165-$300/month includes hosting, updates, security monitoring, and unlimited content changes (within reason).

  • Local San Diego Partner

    Available for face-to-face meetings in San Diego. Understand the local market, local SEO, and what San Diego customers expect. We're not an overseas agency or a faceless platform.

  • Measurable Performance

    Every site we deliver scores 90+ on Google Lighthouse. Load times under 1 second. Core Web Vitals in the green. We don't promise fast—we guarantee it with numbers.

  • Email-Based Updates

    Need content changed? Just email us. No logging into WordPress, no learning curves, no technical headaches. We handle it within 24-48 hours. Simpler than any CMS.

Common Questions

Everything You Need to Know

  • Simple! Just email us your changes and we'll update them within 24-48 hours. No learning curve, no WordPress dashboard, no technical headaches. For most small businesses, this is actually faster and easier than logging into WordPress.

  • Absolutely! We'll carefully migrate your content, preserve your SEO rankings, and set up proper redirects. Most migrations are seamless for your visitors and search engines. We can also improve performance and design in the process.

  • Static sites handle blogs beautifully! We can set up a blog system where you send us posts via email, Google Docs, or Notion, and we publish them. For clients who post multiple times per week, we can discuss CMS options or git-based workflows.

  • Yes! While we're based in San Diego, we work with clients across the United States and internationally. All communication happens via video calls, email, and project management tools. Distance has never been a barrier to great work.

  • Your subscription includes hosting, unlimited update requests (within reason), security monitoring, uptime monitoring, and ongoing support. We handle all technical aspects so you never have to worry about your website breaking or getting hacked.

  • Yes! As a native French speaker, I provide true bilingual support—not just translation, but cultural adaptation that resonates with both English and French-speaking audiences. This is perfect for businesses serving international markets or French communities in the US.

  • Our core process ships most 5 page sites in 14 days from kickoff. When a project needs extra integrations or advanced content, we still wrap within 3-4 weeks and keep you updated every step.

  • Every plan comes with a 12-month commitment so we can recoup the build cost. After that first year, your site rolls into a simple month-to-month relationship and you can cancel with 30 days notice. If you decide to cancel, we turn off hosting and you don't keep the hosted build—otherwise every business would grab a free custom site and bounce.
