One of the very basic necessities for doing business in 2026 is having a fast loading, professional website. While it’s possible to use a social media page as a website for a fashion, ultimately to establish your authority and showcase your professionalism, you’ll need a full blown website. There’s so many ways to have a website built – do you try to DIY it with a free online page builder, try to build something in SquareSpace or Weebly, or do you hire someone to entirely build your website for you?
When DIYing it is too much, Foundation Web Design & Development is here to help you make the hard decisions regarding your website build.
Website Checklist
Do you have the following?
If not, Foundation can help!
First Foundation, Second Foundation, and Onward
Whether you’re building the very first foundation for your very first site, your second, third, fifth, or last website, we can help. Our website builds are flexible: we can build single-page websites, landing pages, all the way up to expansive eCommerce solutions. Best of all, with a robust CMS like WordPress, you can ensure your website can expand in the future, giving you plenty of room to grow.
For Artists
If you’re looking to establish your portfolio, we can help. We know all the different ways for displaying your work – mosaic grid, slider, light box, individually, and more. We also recognize the need to protect your work against AI scraping. We’ll work with you to find the best solution to fit your artwork.
For Businesses
If you’re selling a few select services, you likely don’t need an expansive site. We can help you build a small (or large) website that helps you put your best foot forward to potential customers. We’ll guide you every step of the way when it comes to content, placement, accessibility, and user experience.
For Shops
Any online shop needs a few key features to function properly: the ability to make purchases online, connection with a payment processor of choice, and an ease of managing your orders. We’ll help you build the perfect standalone Woocommerce shop to fit your specific ecommerce needs.
Powered by WordPress
All of our sites are built in the robust content management system WordPress. This powerful site architecture, now responsible for a massive chunk of around 40% of the web, allows near-total creative freedom. When done right, a WordPress site can last for years, cost very little to run, and serve your pages at lightning speeds. WordPress sites can also easily be moved from host to host, and can be managed but just about any knowledgable developer, which means you’re not locked into one place – or one company – for the life of your website.
Not a Builder in Site
Unlike many WordPress developers, Foundation aims to give you the very best foundation for your website, and because of this, we rely only on WordPress core functionalities to deliver the bulk look-and-feel of each website. What this means is that we don’t use site builders like DIVI or Elementor to get the job done. This translates to better page speeds and far less bloat across your site, loading only the elements you’re currently using on your website.
Less reliance on plugins also makes your site more secure and with less to update on the regular.
