Custom web design in Opelousas, LouisianaYour website should work as hard as you do.
Most business websites are built on templates that look like everyone else in the industry. We build from a blank file, so your site stands out, loads fast and brings in customers.
What it is
Custom web design from Only Option Media is a hand-coded website built from a blank file, with no templates or page builders, made to load fast, rank in Google and turn visitors into calls. It is for local service businesses in Opelousas, Lafayette and across Louisiana and the US that want a site they fully own.

What's included
Everything a business site needs. Nothing it doesn't.
02
Mobile-first design
Most of your visitors are on a phone. Every page is designed for the phone first, then scaled up to tablets and desktops, and tested on real devices.
03
90+ PageSpeed target
Speed is a ranking factor and a conversion factor. Images are sized and compressed, code is lean and caching is set up so pages open fast.
04
On-page SEO built in
Title tags, meta descriptions, heading structure, schema markup and internal links are part of the build, not something patched on six months later.
05
SSL and security headers
Every site launches on HTTPS with proper security headers and protection against common exploits, because Google and your customers both notice.
06
Forms and lead capture
Working contact forms, click-to-call buttons and calls to action placed where customers are ready to reach out, with every lead sent to your inbox.
Why hand-coded
Templates are rented. This is built.

Jonathan LaneFounder, works directly with you
Call 337-780-7291A template site is a stranger's layout with your logo dropped in. It carries code for features you will never use, and it looks like the other businesses in your town that bought the same theme.
We start from a blank file. The layout is drawn around your customers: what they search for, what they need to see before they call, and what makes them trust a business they have never heard of. The code only does what your site needs, which is why our sites open fast on a phone with one bar of signal.
SEO is in the foundation. Each page gets its own title and description, one clear headline, structured data that tells Google what your business is and where it works, a sitemap and clean URLs. When we rebuild an existing site, every old address is redirected to its new home so the rankings you earned come with you.
And it is yours. You own the domain, the hosting account, the content and the code. No lock-in contract, no monthly fee just to keep the lights on unless you want us managing it for you.

How a build works
No surprises. No scope creep.
Five steps from first call to launch. Most sites take two to four weeks.
Step 01Discovery call
A conversation, not a contract. We learn the business, the customers you want and what a successful site looks like for you. It usually takes about 30 minutes and costs nothing.
Step 02Proposal and quote
A clear proposal with a flat project price, exactly what is included and a realistic timeline. No hourly billing and no mystery fees.
Step 03Design and build
Your brand, your copy and your customers in mind. You review progress and give feedback before anything is final.
Step 04Review and revisions
You see the whole site before it goes live. We make your changes and get your sign-off before we touch the domain or hosting.
Step 05Launch and SEO setup
We go live, submit the sitemap to Google Search Console, set up tracking and handle the technical SEO that needs to happen at launch.

Mon to FriHow long does a custom website take?
Most sites take two to four weeks from kickoff to launch. The biggest variable is content: when photos, service details and approvals come in quickly, launch comes quickly too. You see the site at every milestone.
Do I own the website when it is done?
Yes. Your domain, your hosting account, your content and the code are yours. There is no lock-in and no holding a site hostage. If you ever move on, you take everything with you.
Can you redesign the site I already have?
Yes. We start with an audit of your current site, keep what is working, and plan redirects for every old page so you do not lose the rankings and links you already earned.
Will I be able to update the site myself?
For sites that need regular updates, like a blog or a portfolio, we build simple admin screens so you can make changes without touching code. Or send changes to us on a management plan and we handle them.
How much does a custom website cost?
Every build is quoted on its own scope. After a short discovery call you get a written proposal with a flat project price, exactly what is included and a realistic timeline. No hourly billing and no surprise invoices.
