How this work gets scored
WebKing has worked with Houston businesses for 27 years. The scores that decide whether this work pays off still come from outside: these are the rules that grade it, what each one requires, and where each one is published.
Core Web Vitals
Google's speed standard, read from real visits over the previous 28 days rather than a lab test. A page passes when at least 75% of visits see the main content within 2.5 seconds, get a response to a tap within 200 milliseconds, and keep layout shift at 0.1 or less.
Google's thresholdsWCAG 2.2
The accessibility standard plaintiffs and courts cite in ADA website lawsuits. Among its rules, body text needs a 4.5:1 contrast ratio against its background, and anything a finger taps needs at least 24 by 24 pixels of room.
The W3C standardGoogle Search Essentials
The technical, spam and content rules a page must meet to be indexed and shown in Google at all. Google says AI Overviews add no technical requirements beyond them, so meeting them is also what makes a page eligible to be linked from an AI Overview.
Google's rulesWhat you actually get
01
We code the first paint into the HTML itself, lazy-load below-fold, defer the heavy JS, and host on a global edge network so pages reach visitors quickly.
02
Custom color system, custom typography stack, custom motion choreography. We do not buy themes. Every component is built for your brand, your audience, your funnel.
03
Organization, LocalBusiness, BreadcrumbList, FAQ, and Service structured data go in at build time, so the site is set up for Google rich results and AI search engines from launch day, not retrofitted months later.
04
CTA placement, form length, trust signals, social proof, urgency cues. We design every page with the conversion in mind, not as an afterthought.
05
Keyboard navigation, screen-reader labels, prefers-reduced-motion, and color contrast checked with a contrast checker. Accessibility complaints against small business websites are real, and building for it from the start costs less than fixing it later.
06
Web design companies, web development shops, freelance web designers: the label on the door tells you nothing about who touches the work after you sign. Ask. Whether you call us a website designer, a web designer or a web development team, WebKing does custom web design and website development as one engagement, from first sketch to launch day.
07
Under the WebKing terms, the final deliverables produced for you, including custom code, landing pages, and written content, are assigned to you on full payment of the engagement.

Every answer ends with how to take the next step. Tap any question, get the answer + a way to start.
It depends on scope. A 5-page brand site for a Houston roofer is one engagement. A 200-page programmatic SEO site with client portal and API is another. WebKing quotes after the strategy call, in writing. Free 30-minute scoping call at (832) 830-6474, Houston-based, available nationwide.
