A Site Built for Ajax
Looks Different.
A generic small-business site template can be built anywhere. A site built for an Ajax service business has structural decisions that template builders miss.
Local SEO Architecture
Service-area pages, neighbourhood content, schema markup for LocalBusiness, and internal linking patterns designed for hyperlocal Ajax search. Built in from day one, not retrofitted.
Conversion Patterns
Service businesses convert differently than e-commerce or SaaS. Phone numbers prominent. Trust signals upfront. Click-to-call on mobile. Forms that don't require a 12-field signup. Built for what actually converts service-business visitors.
Owner-Maintainable
Most Ajax small businesses don't have a developer on call. Sites built so the owner can update services, photos, and content without breaking layout. Squarespace makes this realistic in a way most platforms don't.
The Work We've Built
for Real Clients.

Itemized.
What's in scope for every Keyo build. Anything beyond this is scoped separately.

On-Page SEO Setup
Title tags, meta descriptions, schema markup, internal linking, image alt text, mobile speed. The foundation that makes ongoing SEO work easier.

Common Owner Questions
Real questions from Ajax small business owners about platform choice, timeline, cost ranges, content, and migration.
Why does Keyo build on Squarespace instead of WordPress or custom?
For most Ajax small businesses, Squarespace is the right balance of design flexibility, SEO capability, and ongoing maintenance burden. WordPress offers more customization but creates a hosting and security maintenance overhead most small businesses don't want. Custom builds are expensive and require ongoing developer relationships. Squarespace lets us deliver beautiful, fast, SEO-ready sites that the owner can actually maintain. We're a Squarespace Circle Platinum Partner.
How long does an Ajax small business website take to build?
Most Ajax business sites we build take 3 to 6 weeks from kickoff to launch. The variable is content readiness, not design. Sites with all copy, photos, and brand assets in hand can launch in 3 weeks. Sites where we're developing content alongside design typically take 5 to 6 weeks. Custom integrations (booking apps, custom forms, e-commerce) add 1 to 2 weeks.
What does a website cost for an Ajax small business?
We scope every project individually rather than publishing fixed packages. The actual cost depends on the number of pages, the complexity of integrations, whether content is provided or needs to be developed, and the level of custom design work. Most Ajax small business builds fall in a range, but we'd rather have a 15-minute scoping conversation than quote sight-unseen.
Do we need to provide all the content or can Keyo help develop it?
Both options exist. Some clients come with all copy and photos ready. Others need help developing both. We can write service pages, headlines, and CTAs ourselves based on owner interviews, and we can source or coordinate photography. Building content alongside design typically adds 1 to 2 weeks to the timeline but ensures the site actually reads well.
What if we already have a website and just need it updated or migrated?
We handle migration projects from WordPress, Wix, Shopify, and other Squarespace versions. Migration projects are usually shorter than ground-up builds (typically 2 to 4 weeks) and the cost reflects that. We map existing content to the new structure, preserve SEO equity through proper redirects, and rebuild with current best practices.
Does the new website include SEO?
Every site we build includes on-page SEO fundamentals: title tags, meta descriptions, schema markup, internal linking, mobile-first responsive design, and proper page speed optimization. What's not included is ongoing SEO work like content production, link building, and citation management. Those can be added on a monthly basis once the site is live.
