The Template Trap

Your website is your hardest-working salesperson.

Template and WordPress sites hit a ceiling fast — slow loads, generic layouts, and plugin bloat that quietly cost you customers. Custom-built sites convert 2–5× higher in the same industry.

Template / WordPress
Slow loads from plugin & script bloat
Generic layout every competitor also uses
Conversion rates stuck around 1–2%
Constant plugin updates & security patches
You rent the platform — limited control
SearchPod Custom Build
Sub-2s loads on a global edge network
Bespoke design built around your buyer
Layout & CTAs tuned for conversion from day one
No plugin soup — fewer breakages, less risk
You own 100% of the code and your data

What We Build

From marketing sites to full apps.

One team for your website, web app, and mobile app — built on a single modern stack, so everything works together.

Marketing Websites

Conversion-first sites that load in under two seconds and turn visitors into booked calls — not just brochures.

E-Commerce Stores

Headless Shopify and custom storefronts engineered for speed, with checkout flows built to lift average order value.

Web Applications

SaaS products, booking systems, and member platforms — full applications built on the same stack the biggest sites run on.

Portals & Dashboards

Customer portals and internal dashboards that replace spreadsheets and manual work with software that fits your process.

Mobile Apps

Cross-platform iOS and Android apps from one React Native codebase — native feel, half the build cost of two apps.

Custom CRMs & Tools

Bespoke CRMs, automations, and integrations that connect the tools you already use and own your data end to end.

How We Build

Four phases. One deploy.

01

Discover

We audit your current site, map your buyer journey, and define the architecture before any code is written.

02

Design

High-fidelity Figma designs at every breakpoint. Interactive prototypes you click through and approve.

03

Build

Custom Next.js or React Native with automated testing. Every screen engineered for speed and conversion.

04

Launch

Zero-downtime deploy to a global edge network, plus post-launch monitoring and optimization.

In-House Engineers

Senior developers. No offshore handoffs.

Your build is handled by senior engineers and designers who ship production software every week — not a junior team learning on your project. One point of contact, clear milestones, and code you can take with you.

Questions

Straight answers before you build.

The questions business owners ask us most before starting a custom web or app project. Don’t see yours? Just ask on the call.

Flat monthly plans start at $1,000/month CAD, with your website built and maintained as part of the plan. App and complex builds are scoped individually. We map the scope and send transparent pricing in a free proposal within 48 hours — no hourly surprises.

Most websites launch in 8–12 weeks. A web or mobile app MVP typically takes 12–16 weeks, with a full-featured product 16–24 weeks. We deliver in milestones so you see working software early.

Yes. We build cross-platform iOS and Android apps with React Native from a single codebase — a native feel at roughly half the cost of building two separate apps. We also build web apps, customer portals, and custom CRMs.

100%. You own all source code, design files, and intellectual property from day one, in your own GitHub organization. No proprietary frameworks, no vendor lock-in.

Yes. Every site ships with a headless CMS and a custom editing interface tailored to your content, plus training and documentation. You update text, images, and pages without touching code.

We migrate WordPress sites to modern stacks regularly — handling content migration, URL preservation, 301 redirects, and SEO equity transfer. Most clients see a 40–60% speed improvement after migration.

Every build includes technical SEO from day one: semantic HTML, schema markup, optimized Core Web Vitals, sitemaps, and fast server-side rendering — the foundation search engines and AI assistants reward.

Let’s build something that converts.
