Custom Website Development
A great website is a combination of art, design, and technology.
Many sites excel at one or two of these aspects and do their best at the others. At Dogwood, we strive to create modern websites that do it all.
Not your average website…
Every site we build is made with heart and the best practices in mind. No corners cut.
SEO
Each site is created with Search Engine Optimization in mind so that your site is most easily read and ranked by Google and other search engines.
Responsive
Your site will look just as beautiful on your cellphone as it does on a desktop. As of August 2022, 62.06% of all website traffic comes from mobile devices.
Custom Design
No two sites are the same because no two businesses are the same. We help you create an aesthetic that screams YOU!
Intentional UX
It’s not enough to have a site that looks good. It has to work well and be easily navigated. We want your users’ experience to be par none.
Having a great website is no longer optional.
It's a necessity!
According to WebFX 97% of users search online to find local businesses. Your website is often the first impression a potential customer has of you. Make it a good one!

At Dogwood, we specialize in custom WordPress websites that are fast, secure, and easy to manage. Whether you’re a small business, nonprofit, school, or large organization, we design and develop websites that reflect your brand, communicate your message clearly, and help visitors take action. Every site we build is mobile-friendly, optimized for search engines, and structured to grow with your business.
We tailor the process to your comfort level, but always start with a discovery meeting to learn about your goals, audience, and preferences. From there, we guide you through content collection, design approvals, and feedback checkpoints. You don’t need to know how to build a site—we’ll take care of that—but your input helps ensure the final product reflects your vision and serves your audience well.
We build custom-designed websites using a flexible, scalable WordPress framework and the Elementor site builder. That means your site won’t look like everyone else’s, and a rigid template won’t box it in. We use industry best practices to create layouts tailored to your content, goals, and visual style while making sure the site is easy to update and expand in the future.
The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the project, but most websites take 6 to 12 weeks from start to launch. We create a project timeline with clear milestones at the beginning, so you’ll always know what’s happening next. If delays happen due to content collection or other factors, we communicate clearly to keep the project on track.
Yes. We build all our websites with the client in mind, so you can log in, edit, publish blog posts, or update pages. We offer training sessions if you need help learning the system, or we can continue to manage your content for you as part of a content management package.
Absolutely. Once your website is built, we don’t just walk away. We offer secure, fast WordPress hosting and ongoing support packages for updates, security, and content changes. If anything ever goes wrong—or if you want to tweak your content—we’re just a phone call or email away.
Website pricing varies based on size, features, and functionality. A basic site may start in the lower thousands, while more complex sites with custom development, e-commerce, or integrations will require a larger investment. After discussing your needs, we’ll provide a clear proposal so there are no surprises and ensure the final product is worth every penny.
