§ What you get

Every site, every time.

These aren’t upgrades or add-ons. They’re the baseline for everything we ship.

Custom design

Every site starts from a blank page and your brand — never a template. Layouts, type, color, and motion are designed for your business specifically.

Built to perform

Clean markup, lean assets, and a build we tune until it loads fast. No bloated themes or plugin pile-ups dragging your scores down.

Built for Core Web Vitals

Optimized images, lazy-loading, sensible JS, and edge-cached assets. Pages that pass Google's performance bar out of the gate.

Mobile-first, always

Designed on phones, refined on desktop. The majority of your customers are on a 6-inch screen — we never forget it.

SEO baked in

Schema, meta, OpenGraph, sitemaps, internal linking — handled. Your site ships ready to rank, not waiting for a follow-up project.

A CMS you'll actually use

Friendly editing tools so you can update copy, blog posts, and team photos without calling your developer (but we're here if you need us).

Conversion architecture

Clear hierarchy, honest copy direction, smart calls-to-action. Every page has a job — and we design it to do that job.

Ongoing support

Hosting, security patches, backups, edits, and a real human on the other end of the phone. The launch is the beginning, not the end.

§ How we work

Six steps. No surprises.

A proven process honed over a decade of building sites for Utah businesses — from solo trades to multi-location brands.

01

Discovery

We sit down (in-person, on Zoom, or on the phone) and learn about your business, your customers, and what success looks like for this site.

02

Strategy & wireframes

Sitemap, content outline, and low-fidelity wireframes. We agree on structure and message before a single pixel of design happens.

03

Design

Custom visual design with your real content. You'll see the homepage first, then key inner pages — with rounds of revisions built in.

04

Build

Development on a private staging server. You watch the site take shape and review it live, not in a flat mockup.

05

Launch

DNS, redirects, schema, analytics, search console — handled end-to-end. We push live during off-hours and stay on standby.

06

Care

Hosting, updates, backups, and the occasional small change. Real humans on the phone whenever you need them.

§ Is this for you?

Built for owners who really care.

We’re not the cheapest, fastest, or most automated. We’re careful, process-oriented, and obsessive about shipping work we’d put our name on — because we do.
Local Utah businesses ready to look the part
Brands tired of DIY drag-and-drop builders
Service businesses that need to convert calls
Multi-location and franchise operators

§ Questions

Frequently asked questions.

How much does web design cost in Utah?
It depends on scope, but most custom small-business sites fall in a defined range; we quote after a short discovery call so the price matches the work. Every project starts with a free video audit.
A typical 4–6 page custom site takes about 4–8 weeks, depending on content and revisions.
Both. We recommend WordPress for most businesses for flexibility, and build fully custom when a project calls for it.

Yes! Even though we are based in South Jordan, Utah, we also work remotely with clients anywhere in the United States and around the world.

Yes — SEO is built in from day one, and we offer ongoing hosting, updates, and support after launch.

A designer decides how your site looks and how visitors move through it; a developer builds it so it’s fast, secure, and easy to update. You need both — at Burnt Bacon the same team does both, so nothing gets lost in the hand-off.

As involved as you want to be. We check in at the moments that matter — strategy, design approval, and a pre-launch review — and handle everything in between. Most clients are surprised how little of their time it takes.

Often, yes. Depending on how your site was built, we can retrofit it to work on every screen size — or, if that would cost more than it’s worth, we’ll tell you straight and quote a rebuild instead. The free video audit tells you which.
