Most small-business sites are brochures with a contact form bolted on. That is fine until you need the site to book an appointment, show a customer their history, take an order, or feed a campaign — at which point the brochure becomes the ceiling.

The sites built here start from the other end: server-rendered, fast, and wired into the systems the business already runs on. Auth, customer portals, booking, blog, analytics, and SEO are platform features rather than plugins.

The stack, plainly

  • SvelteKit — server-rendered pages, so search engines and AI crawlers get real HTML
  • PocketBase — an isolated database per brand, self-hosted, no per-seat SaaS bill
  • Own infrastructure — the same servers running a dozen production brands today
  • Semantic theming — light and dark handled by design tokens, not by duplicated CSS

What "does work" means

A site that does work has customer accounts, a booking flow that lands in the system your staff already use, a blog that actually gets found, conversion tracking that fires correctly, and pages fast enough that paid traffic does not get penalized for landing on them.

Where the requirement goes past what a site does, it becomes custom software — same stack, same person, no integration phase between the two.

Performance and search

Server rendering is not a preference here, it is the reason these pages rank and the reason paid landing pages score well. Structured data, canonical URLs, sitemaps, and an explicit stance toward AI answer engines ship as part of the build rather than as a later SEO project.

What you get

  • Server-rendered SvelteKit site, mobile-first and accessible
  • Customer auth and portal where the business needs one
  • Booking or enquiry flow wired into your existing system
  • Blog and content surfaces built for search
  • Analytics and conversion tracking configured and verified
  • Structured data, canonical URLs, sitemap, and robots policy
