A fast website for local customers

Almost every local search happens on a phone, between two appointments. A site that keeps loading gets closed. The next name in Maps is one tap away.

BLAU builds sites by hand, without a page builder. On the sites we deliver we aim for 100 out of 100 on Google's Core Web Vitals. That is a technical score, not a promise that you will rank first because of it.

Why speed is money here

An installer or a salon does not get visitors who stay for twenty minutes. They want the number, the opening hours, or a form. Every extra second is a moment to go back to the map.

Google uses speed as one signal for ranking pages, next to relevance, distance, and reviews. A slow site makes the other signals harder.

What a Core Web Vitals score of 100 does and does not say

Core Web Vitals measure whether a page shows something quickly, whether that view stays stable, and whether the page reacts quickly to a tap. A score of 100 means the page is in good shape on that measurement.

It does not say how many people call, and it does not say where you sit in Maps. Honkoop, an installer in Dordrecht, runs at that score. Enquiries after that depend on the offer and on how clear the page is.

  • Few third-party scripts the phone has to download
  • Images at the right size, not a photo library at full resolution
  • A page that shows the number and the next step immediately
  • No theme that needs ten plugins to show a contact form

Fast and local

A fast homepage that does not say where you work and what you do still converts poorly. We connect the engineering to a page per city or per service, with the same business details as on the Google Business Profile.

From Helmond we build those pages for businesses in the city and for other places too. The copy is about the work, not a list of place names.

What you see first

You get a free prototype: a clickable homepage, not a report about speed. That is how you feel whether the site works on your phone. Only then do we build the finished site. Worry-free website is €87.50 per month. A one-off site is available too, from €500.

Questions about speed

Do all of your sites score 100?
That is the target at launch, on Google's Core Web Vitals. A later plugin or a heavy video can pull the score down. We keep small edits light for that reason.
Is a fast site enough to rank?
No. Local positions also depend on your business profile, reviews, and competition. Speed removes a barrier. It does not replace the other work.
Does this work on an existing WordPress site?
Sometimes a cleanup is enough. Often the theme is in the way. We say which after a short look, not in advance. A new site we build without a page builder.
Will a customer notice this on a phone?
Yes, if the old site hangs before the number appears. You can open the prototype on your own phone before you decide.
Is hosting included?
With Website Carefree, yes, in the €87.50 per month. On a one-off site, hosting is €25 per month, or €75 including small edits.
How fast does the site go online?
Usually within a week after you approve the prototype.

Work that is live

Three delivered sites. The numbers belong to those projects, not to the next one.

Ready for a website that truly works for you?

Request your free prototype, review it live, and only decide afterwards. No risk, then from €87.50 per month.
