Many people think blog posts are for vanity, or to show your creative side, or perhaps simply for boosting SEO,
Your Los Angeles Web Developer Says...
Your Website
Might Suck...
But it doesn’t have to!
Your Website Might Suck if it isn’t Built for…
SEO
Rankings
Most people find websites through Google, and if you’re not doing everything you can to rank high, your business is virtually invisible to your best prospects.
Is your business findable?
Conversion & Sales
So Important! Once visitors find your site, whether through SEO or personal referrals, it needs to convert those visitors into prospects and sales.
Does your site convert for you?
Mobile
Devices
These days, more than half of all website visitors are using mobile phones. But millions of sites are still hard to view and navigate on mobile.
Have you viewed your site with a mobile phone recently?
Your Current Business
One of the biggest problems with business websites is that the last time they were updated was when they were built many years ago. If your business changes, so should your website.
How long has it been since your site was updated?
ADA Compliance
Just as the Americans with Disabilities Act applies to your office building, it also applies to your website. And if it’s not, you just might discover you’re about to be sued.
Is your business at risk?
Privacy & Security
Privacy laws in California and elsewhere have severe penalties for not notifying your website visitors about data you might be collecting, and worse penalties for not protecting that data from a breach.
Is your website data safe?

Rank High, Sell More
You need a new website but you don’t know where to start.
With our time-tested website development system, you’ll have confidence every step of the way that your website will be awesome!
Since 2001, West Hills Web has been building business websites for organizations of all sizes, from sole proprietors to billion dollar corporations. Our goal is to help you and your company to Rank High and Sell More, each and every day.
Even if you’re only a little bit curious about how we do that, let’s have a chat.
Is Your Business A Bit Out Of The Ordinary?
If you get frustrated when trying to explain your specialty or technical business to a new acquaintance at a cocktail party, imagine how much more difficult it would be to explain your business, in far more detail, to a web developer who has absolutely no idea what you do, how you do it, and why it’s so special.
At West Hills Web, we understand specialty and technology businesses.
How We Can Help Your Business Grow Faster (with less Risk)
We build websites that help our clients get more business than ever before, all while helping you to avoid needless risk. Whether you are an established business with a website that just isn’t working any more, or a brand new business with no website at all, we can help.
Your Website Is Your Business Card, Billboard and Front Door. We Make Them All Awesome.
Every website we build is customized not only to the business we build it for, but also the customers that the business serves. We work closely (and have fun) with our clients to create a stunning design, laser-targeted content, and the technical magic to help your business Rank High and Sell More.
Rank High: Get Found Online By More Potential Customers
No one can promise a specific Google result, but let’s just say that we have a “knack” for making websites rank very, very well. And we’re also pretty great at running online advertising campaigns for more immediate traffic.
Sell More: Convert Visitors to Prospects, and Prospects to Customers
Once someone arrives at your website, it needs to establish your credibility, make you the obvious choice, and turn that visitor into a prospect or customer. Our content and conversion techniques make that easier than ever.
Reduce Risk: It's Boring, but Important
Business websites are now required to comply with two or more different compliance regulations, and failing to do that could result in lawsuits or heavy fines. Most web developers are not even aware of this, potentially putting you and your company at risk.
Keep Your Website Current (in more ways than one)
When was the last time you changed anything on your website? When was the last time your web developer updated your site’s software or checked its security settings? Out of date websites lead to lost sales and data breaches. Can you afford either?

VaultBox is a startup company in the Collectibles space whose business plan included some extremely unique ecommerce features, including the ability to “buy back” products, to support huge product launches, and to also support traditional eCommerce sales.
But they didn’t know how to get it built, or how to even start. But one of the principals of VaultBox knew Mark Widawer from an engagement with another company, and so a brief call was scheduled where the goals for the site’s basic features were discussed.
Mark came back with a sensible plan to build the site. Since the site was completed, the site has had multiple launches and ongoing eCommerce sales.
