The website issue

Websites that load fast, read for everyone, and rank where it counts.

Most websites are visual. Few are engineered. Blue Rocket Development builds custom websites the way Apple builds hardware - obsessing over the moments most agencies skip: the first paint, the first tab, the first screen reader announcement.

95+

PageSpeed score

Inline critical CSS, image-set responsive media, font-display swap, deferred JS. Real Lighthouse 95+ on mobile - not the desktop-only trick.

AA

WCAG 2.1 accessibility

Keyboard-navigable, screen-reader friendly, contrast-checked, focus-visible. Every page passes an automated and manual audit before launch.

SEO that compounds

Schema.org Organization, LocalBusiness, FAQ & Breadcrumbs on every page. Internal linking architecture. Sitemaps. Open Graph. The boring work that wins.

Cover story

"They redesigned our site and tripled our qualified leads in 90 days."

"Our old site looked fine. It was killing us. Blue Rocket Development rebuilt it around how our customers actually search and read. We went from 8 second mobile load to 1.4 - and our pipeline tripled within a quarter."

— David Cortez, CMO, Borderlands Logistics (El Paso, TX)

Built for humans

Real users, not stock-photo personas. We test with the people you actually want to convert - including users with disabilities, slower networks and older devices.

Built for crawlers

Semantic HTML, schema.org, server-rendered HTML, sitemaps, canonical URLs, internal linking. Google sees what humans see - and indexes it cleanly.

Built to last

No framework-of-the-week. We ship maintainable, future-proof code on stacks your next dev will thank us for - whether that's Astro, Next.js, or hand-rolled HTML+PHP.

FAQ

What we get asked

Will you really hit 95+ PageSpeed on mobile?
Yes - it's contractually committed. If we miss it on launch day on the pages we agreed to optimize, we fix it for free.
Do you use WordPress or a custom framework?
Whichever serves the project. For content-heavy marketing sites we often pick a static-generation framework. For editor-friendly sites, a headless CMS. Where WordPress is the right fit, we ship it with all the speed and security gloves on.
How long until a new site is live?
Most marketing sites ship in 6-10 weeks from kickoff. Larger sites or those needing translation + complex integrations take 10-14.
Do you handle SEO migration / redirects?
Always. Every redesign includes a redirect map, canonical strategy and a 30-day post-launch SEO watch to catch any ranking regressions early.
