Florida · Remote-friendly

A page that takes six seconds on a phone has already lost most of the people who tapped it, and Google knows it. Speed work is not a plugin — it is finding which of your images, scripts, fonts and database queries is actually costing the time, and fixing those. For a Sarasota business that usually means more calls from the same traffic, without spending anything more on ads.

01 — What’s included

The audit comes first and it is specific: what the site scores on real hardware, which resource is responsible for each slow second, and what each fix is worth against what it costs to do. You see that list before any work starts, ranked, so you can take the top three and stop there if that is the right call. Nothing gets claimed as fixed without a before-and-after measurement you can read.

  1. 01Core Web Vitals audit on real mobile hardware, not a desktop score
  2. 02A ranked list of causes with the time each one costs and the effort to fix it
  3. 03Image, font and script delivery rebuilt: formats, sizing, loading order
  4. 04Render-blocking CSS and JavaScript cleared from the critical path
  5. 05Caching, compression and database query fixes at the server level
  6. 06Before-and-after numbers in writing, plus field data once it catches up
Local context — Sarasota

Sarasota has a strong arts, hospitality, and professional-services economy alongside the usual coastal trades. Businesses here often have an established site with years of content and rankings worth protecting, which makes careful migrations and redesigns, not from-scratch rebuilds, the right call more often than not.

Websites rarely need only one thing done to them. For Sarasota businesses I also take on website maintenance in Sarasota and website migration in Sarasota, and just up the road I cover website speed in Fort Myers and website speed in Cape Coral.

Website speed in Sarasota

An established Sarasota site is usually slow for accumulated reasons rather than one big one: years of plugins, a theme changed three times, galleries of event and artwork photography uploaded at full camera resolution. That is exactly the kind of site where speed work pays best, because the content and rankings are already there and nothing needs rebuilding. The audit names each cause and what it costs you, and you choose how far down the list to go.

Who I build for in Sarasota

  • Arts, culture, and nonprofitsEvent calendars, ticketing or donation links, and accessible design matter, because the audience spans every age and device.
  • Tourism and hospitalityVisitors plan on phones, often from out of state, so fast pages, clear directions, and booking links decide who gets the reservation.
  • Professional servicesLaw, financial, and medical offices need a credible site with clear practice-area pages and contact paths that respect privacy.
  • Coastal trades and home servicesA page for each trade and area, plus a simple quote form, turns local searches into calls.

03 — Process

Four steps and no surprises: you approve the scope before work starts and the site before it launches.

01

Discovery

A short call or email exchange about your goals, your customers and what is not working today. Free, with no commitment.

02

Proposal

A written scope, timeline and fixed price, so you know exactly what you are getting before anything starts.

03

Development

The work happens on a staging site you can open at any time, with plain-language updates at agreed checkpoints.

04

Delivery

Testing, a launch in a low-traffic window, documentation and a handoff session, then support while your team settles in.

04 — Questions

01Can we meet in person in Sarasota?

Yes, when it helps. Most Sarasota projects run remotely by video call and email, and I can meet in person for a kickoff or launch review.

02We have years of content. Can you keep it?

Yes. Preserving existing content and rankings is the core of how I handle migrations and redesigns. Every page is inventoried and either kept at the same address or redirected, and nothing is removed without your approval.

03What does speed work cost?

The audit is quoted on its own, so you can buy the diagnosis without committing to the treatment. The fixes are then quoted as a fixed price from the ranked list, and you choose how far down it to go.

04Can a plugin not do this?

A caching plugin helps and is usually part of the fix, but it cannot undo a 4 MB hero image, a page builder loading forty stylesheets, or a query that scans your whole product table. Those are the ones costing you seconds, and they have to be found individually.

05Will this actually help my Google rankings?

Core Web Vitals are a ranking signal, so it helps, but honestly the bigger win is usually conversion. The same number of Sarasota visitors arrive and more of them stay long enough to call.
