Websites
Websites built to look good & convert.

Our approach
Websites
Sproutbox is a Portland-based website design and development agency. We build sites on Astro, WordPress, and other modern platforms for businesses that need something that looks great, loads fast, and actually converts visitors into customers. Good websites don't live in isolation, which is why we tie them directly to our search and SEO and brand design work from the start.
Most website projects go over budget and under-deliver not because of design problems, but because nobody defined what the site was supposed to do before work started. Lead gen, credibility for RFPs, product catalog. The answer changes everything about how the site should be built. A regional retail chain we redesigned for grew organic traffic 400% after a rebuild that treated SEO architecture and conversion goals as the starting point, not a final pass.
Our Process
How we get website results.
Before we open Figma, we get clear on what your site actually needs to do. That means understanding how customers find you today, what questions they're asking before they call, and what's causing them to leave. We audit your analytics, map your current content, and find the gaps. You'll have a content plan, a site architecture, and a brief that everyone can build from before any design starts.
Wireframes come before mockups. Mockups come before code. This matters because it's a lot cheaper to rethink a layout in wireframe than after someone has built it. We build on Astro for performance-first marketing sites, WordPress for content-heavy or client-managed projects, Shopify for ecommerce, and other platforms when the project calls for it. Mobile-first the whole time, not an afterthought.
We review heatmaps and session recordings to understand where users are dropping off. We test CTAs, adjust copy, and sometimes restructure pages based on what we see. This phase is why our sites keep improving after launch instead of plateauing.
DNS transfer, full QA pass, every form and tracking script verified before we flip the switch. You get a recorded CMS walkthrough so your team can make updates without calling us. After launch, we're available on retainer or as needed.
Our Team
Meet your website team.
The businesses that get the most out of a new site are the ones who treat it as a conversion tool from day one. That means knowing your primary call to action, understanding your top two or three customer types, and being honest about where your current site is losing people. We work through all of that before a design decision gets made. Most of our clients have been burned by a project that skipped this step. We don't skip it.
What you'll walk away with is a site optimized for speed, designed to convert, and structured to rank. We build on Astro, WordPress, Shopify, Squarespace, and whatever else the project calls for. SEO, brand, and development happen under one roof, so nothing gets lost between vendors who've never talked to each other.
You'll work with the same people from kickoff to launch. Not a sales team who hands you off to a build team you've never met. The strategist who mapped your content plan is in the room when design decisions get made. After launch, we stay accessible. A lot of our web clients end up working with us on SEO or ongoing updates, not because we locked them into anything, but because the relationship is worth keeping.
Why Sproutbox
What sets us apart.
Anyone can ship a template. We design around your customers, code for speed and stability, and measure the result in conversions instead of compliments. And because we're local, the people building your site are the same ones answering when you call.
A beautiful website that doesn't convert visitors into customers is just a brochure online. Every element on your site should guide people toward taking action.
Your site could be losing customers just because it's slow or confusing. We optimize for speed, security, and user experience.
Your site shouldn't require a web developer to update it. We build sites you can manage, update, and grow without hiring a technical team.
Your website should grow as you do. We build flexible systems that scale without constant redesigns.
Sproutbox has been an incredible partner to OpenRoad’s marketing team for the last 3+ years, supporting us across website, brand, photography, and video projects. Not to mention they are just genuinely wonderful people to work with — thoughtful, professional, friendly, and very good at what they do.

What platforms do you build on?
Astro, WordPress, and other modern frameworks depending on what your project needs. We recommend the right platform for your goals, not whatever is easiest for us.
How long does a website project take?
A typical 6–10 page marketing site takes 6–10 weeks. Larger projects with e-commerce or custom functionality take longer. We set clear timelines and build in review stages so nothing is a surprise.
Do you handle hosting?
Yes. We manage hosting, security updates, and maintenance on WP Engine and Netlify. Your site stays fast, secure, and online without you having to think about it.
Do you build e-commerce sites?
Yes. Shopify and WooCommerce for product-focused stores. We connect the store to your marketing channels from the start so the site actually drives sales, not just traffic.
What makes a Sproutbox website different?
We treat SEO and conversion as design requirements from day one, not afterthoughts layered on at the end. A site that looks great but does not get traffic or convert visitors is not doing its job.
What does a website redesign cost?
Most marketing websites run $8,000–$20,000 depending on scope, number of pages, and custom functionality. We give you a detailed estimate before anything starts — no surprises mid-project.
Will my new site be optimized for SEO from day one?
Yes. SEO is baked into our build process, not added at the end. That means proper site structure, fast load times, schema markup, meta tags, and content set up to rank before we hand the keys over.
Can you migrate content from our existing site?
Yes. We handle content migration as part of the project. We audit what you have, keep what is working, and rewrite or cut what is not.
What ongoing support do you offer after launch?
We offer hosting and maintenance plans that cover security updates, performance monitoring, plugin management, and content edits. You will not be left on your own after launch.
Do we need to have our copy and photos ready before we start?
Not necessarily. We can write copy and shoot photos as part of the project. Starting with finished content is faster, but we can build the two tracks in parallel if needed.
