Los Angeles web design and development

The Working Website: web design and development that turns your site into your best salesperson.

Most websites exist. Very few work. The Working Website is Davel’s program for companies that want a site built from every angle at once: strategy, design, code, on-site SEO, speed, security and accessibility, delivered by a full team behind one point of contact, and wired into your marketing from day one.

A website that only exists is a cost. A website that works is a salesperson.
Every visitor arrives with a question and a thumb hovering over the back button. A working website answers the question fast, on any screen, and makes the next step obvious: call, book, buy. That takes more than a developer. It takes a team, each responsible for one thing the site must get right.

Before we talk about design, a few honest questions.

  1. When someone Googles what you do, do they find you, or your competitor? If you are not sure, that is the gap we close.
  2. When they land on your site, how long before they know what you do and what to do next? Now try it on a phone.
  3. What is that costing you: the ad clicks that landed on a slow page, the visitors who could not find the button, the customers who chose the site that looked more trustworthy?
  4. And if the site stays as it is for another year?
The Working Website exists so those questions stop being yours.
Kids Jewelry: Website Development
Case in point

Kids Jewelry: a fine-jewelry shop that runs itself.

Kids Jewelry sells dainty 14K pieces sourced from jewelers across the Netherlands, Italy and Spain: a large, highly configurable catalog that could not feel complicated to shop. We built KidsJewelry.com as a full e-commerce platform around one idea: make every choice easy.

Customers browse with fast AJAX navigation, multi-select filters and colour and size swatches, personalise pieces with live text previews, save favourites, buy gift cards and ask for back-in-stock alerts. Behind the storefront, gold prices are calculated from weight and purity, bundles and “bought together” offers run on their own, and Stripe, PayPal, FedEx, 17TRACK, QuickBooks and TaxJar keep payments, shipping, tracking, accounting and sales tax in sync.

Acute Wound Care: Rebranding, Website Design & Daughter-Brand Development

One website. Every perspective.

We build three kinds of sites: informative websites, online shops and high-converting landing pages. Whatever the type, it is never one developer working alone. It is a team, and each part of it owns one thing your site must get right:

  • Strategy and content.Structure, messaging and copy aligned with your brand and your marketing, written or edited before design starts.
  • Design.A look that is unmistakably yours, built mobile-first and shaped around what visitors need to do next.
  • Development.Clean, fast code on the platform that fits, with the integrations your business runs on: booking, shop, payments, CRM.
  • On-site SEO.Structure, tags, speed and content set up so Google can find and rank every page from day one.
  • Speed, security and accessibility.Tested on real devices, hardened against attacks, usable by everyone. Not extras. Requirements.
  • Marketing-ready.Analytics, tracking, landing pages and CRM connections in place, so the site feeds your campaigns instead of sitting beside them.
The difference is the team.
One point of contact. Every expert behind it.
Grossman Plastic Surgery website, West Hills, designed and built by Davel

Picture your website doing the selling.

Someone finds you on Google, opens the site on their phone, understands what you do in five seconds and books, buys or calls without help. Your ads land on pages built to convert. Your team stops apologising for the old site and starts sending people to it.
That is not a design outcome. It is a revenue outcome. Design, code and SEO are simply how we get there.

How the Working Website gets built.

One point of contact, a team of specialists behind them, and the same sequence for a five-page clinic site or a thousand-product shop.

01

One brief, one lead.

You get a project lead who owns the whole build. Behind them: strategist, designer, developer, SEO specialist, content editor and QA. You talk to one person; six disciplines do the work.

02

Structure and content first.

Sitemap, page goals, messaging aligned with your brand, and the keyword map for on-site SEO, agreed before a single screen is designed.

03

Design that sells.

Mobile-first layouts built around the actions that matter. For Grossman Plastic Surgery the whole site leads to one thing: request a consultation. Reviewed with you on real screens, not slides.

04

Build, integrate, harden.

Clean code on the platform that fits, integrations wired in, speed tuned, security and accessibility checked page by page.

05

Launch and connect.

QA on real devices, the on-site SEO checklist, analytics and tracking, training for your team, and the connection to your marketing: landing pages, campaigns, CRM.

5.0
Clutch rating from clients

Built by a whole team, not a freelancer.

Founded in 2017 and based in Los Angeles. More than 500 projects delivered. A 5.0 rating on Clutch. Our own site earned an Awwwards nomination, and our co-founder and executive creative director judges the Webby Awards, where websites are held to the industry’s standard.
A website is where every other service we offer ends up: the brand, the campaign, the content, the ads. So we build it to carry all of them, and we build it in-house: strategy, design, code, SEO and content under one roof.

Questions people ask

Who do we actually talk to?
One project lead, from brief to launch. Behind them a strategist, a designer, a developer, an SEO specialist, a content editor and QA. You never chase six people; you talk to one.
Which platform do you build on?
The one that fits. WordPress for most informative sites, a dedicated e-commerce platform for shops, custom code when the site needs something off the shelf cannot do. Whatever we build, you own it: domain, hosting, code and content.
Do you write the content?
Yes, or we edit yours. Content is aligned with your brand and your marketing before design starts, because a beautiful site with the wrong words still does not convert.
Will the site rank on Google?
It will be built to. Structure, tags, speed, mobile and content are set up for search from day one. Rankings also need time and ongoing content, and we can run that too.
How long does it take?
A landing page is a matter of weeks. An informative site is a couple of months. A shop depends on the catalog. We scope timing on the call and hold to it.
What does it cost?
Less than another year of a site that sends visitors to your competitors. Real numbers come after we understand what the site has to do, which takes one call.
Like what you see?

Would it be worth one call to find out what your website should be doing for you, and what it would take?

Pick a time that suits you. One call, no slides, no pitch: you leave knowing what your site needs and what it would take.

Prefer to write first? Leave your details on the contact form and we will call you.
