Web Design Company With Mobile First Responsive Design

Creating Websites Built to Perform on Every Screen

Web Design Services

Having a website that’s not only beautiful but also mobile-friendly and responsive is essential. At Shepherd, we build sites with a “mobile-first” approach, ensuring your business shines on any screen, from smartphones to desktops.

We don’t just focus on looks; we craft each site with a strong foundation in SEO, helping your business rank well on search engines and reach the audience that matters most.

Our web design services blend aesthetic appeal with strategic functionality, delivering a seamless user experience designed to engage visitors and drive results. 

Here’s how we achieve that:

Mobile-First, Responsive Design

People increasingly rely on mobile devices, so we start our design with mobile screens in mind, creating sites that load fast, look sharp, and keep visitors engaged no matter the device.

SEO-Driven Structure

A site that looks good but can’t be found online won’t deliver results. We focus on SEO from the ground up, integrating SEO best practices in design, coding, and content to make sure your site performs well on Google and other search engines.

Custom Design for Brand Alignment

We recognize that each brand has its own story. Our team designs each website to reflect your unique brand personality while prioritizing usability and performance.

User-Centric Experience

Our design philosophy is about more than aesthetics; it’s about creating a straightforward, enjoyable experience that leads visitors naturally to take action, whether that’s contacting your team, making a purchase, or engaging with your content.

Industry-Specific Designs

Serving a broad range of industries, we can create e-commerce sites with secure payment systems and product catalogs, healthcare websites with HIPAA-compliant appointment scheduling, professional service sites with portfolios that showcase expertise, and more.

For a website that drives results and enhances your online presence, Shepherd’s team of skilled designers and developers is here to bring your vision to life.

Did you know...

That 61% of users won’t return to a site that’s difficult to navigate on mobile? Or that slow-loading websites lead to nearly $2.6 billion in lost revenue annually? 

These numbers show the importance of having a fast, responsive website that meets modern expectations — something Shepherd delivers with every project.

Our Platforms

Our designers bring expertise and creativity to every project, ensuring your website is both visually stunning and highly functional. We specialize in building sites on WordPress and Webflow, two of the most versatile and user-friendly platforms available. 

By partnering with an SEO-focused company like Shepherd, you’ll get a site built not just for aesthetics but optimized for search engines, giving your business a competitive edge online.

WordPress vs. Webflow

WordPress and Webflow are two of the most popular platforms, and each has its strengths.

WordPress

  • Vast plugin libraries for added functionality.
  • Highly scalable, suitable for businesses of any size.
  • Flexible design and development options to meet diverse needs.
  • Ideal for content-heavy sites like blogs and e-commerce stores.

Webflow

  • Built-in, powerful design tools for complete customization.
  • Fast-loading, responsive performance optimized for all devices.
  • User-friendly interface for quick edits and updates.
  • Perfect for visually-driven sites with sleek, modern aesthetics.

At Shepherd, we guide you to the platform that best aligns with your goals while ensuring your site is optimized for search engines.

Client Collaboration Process

At Shepherd, we believe the best websites are built through collaboration. We start with an in-depth consultation to understand your business, target audience, and goals. From there, we develop a custom strategy, keeping you involved at every stage — from initial mockups to the final launch — ensuring the result not only meets but exceeds your expectations.

Post-Launch Support

A great website isn’t just about launch day; it’s about staying functional and relevant over time. That’s why we offer ongoing support, including updates, security monitoring, and performance optimization. Whether you need quick fixes or long-term maintenance, we’re here to ensure your website stays ahead of the competition.
