Secure Custom Websites Made in Laravel
Laravel websites are difficult to hack since they implement features like SQL injection right out of the box. When you have us designing you a custom website that has several features that WordPress just cannot do, we use Laravel so you know its secure. Laravel also uses a model-view-controller setup so we can rapidly develop your PHP application or website without having to worry about missing something.
When creating a website the first thing we consider is security, security is always our number one priority, what good is a website if hackers can infiltrate it. Without security your website can be compromised and then your customers and clients can be compromised and that would lead to your brand name being forever damaged. Laravel’s load times are also great which means your website design will load quickly and efficiently. Laravel website designs are also very flexible and can used in many ways from simple APIs to command line scripts.
We offer Laravel website designs at an extremely competitive rate, however this does not mean it will be a low price. We will be coding your website from the ground up and if you require an admin panel then that is something we will be making unlike WordPress which has a built in content-management system. Every pixel of your website will be hand dropped and every line of code will be tailored to your desires.
How to Appear on Google
As you can see, the #1 result in the “Google Snack Pack” is our sister company Greensboro iPhone Repair started only a few years ago with little efforts we had it ranking #1 in no time. Ranking #1 is generally not that hard if you know what you are doing. Of course there can be extreme compitition for your service, but that doesn’t mean you can’t rank #1 on Google in Greensboro NC!
A lot of it is just NAP. Name, Address, Phone number. By having your name, address and phone number match across all of the internet Google begins to trust you. Then you have things like Domain Authority, this is basically how trustworthy your website is. There are many ways to rank and by hiring us for your website design solutions you will gain access to over a decade of experience and knowledge.
A Mobile Responsive Website in Greensboro NC
A mobile responsive website is important because when potential customers use their phone to make a Google search and they end up on your website you want them to have a good experience. A non-mobile-friendly website does not load properly on a user’s phone, this causes them to get frustrated and leave.
A good user experience is also important because Google will know how your users react to such a unresponsive site. This will cause Google to rank you lower than your mobile-responsive competition.
An Asset not an Expense
We are always there for you, we want to be your partner not just another expense. When you partner with us, we will become an asset. Website Design is more than just a website, its about linking your business to the online world. Online platforms like Google expect the best of you and if you come short your ranking suffers. Here at Greensboro Web Design we know that by giving you our all, you will recognize the hard work and the affect it has on your business. This in turns creates a two-way bridge of imports and exports where we both benefit. The feeling of having a customer come back a couple months later with praise is a great feeling. We disapprove of the web designers that do the minumum in exchange for the most money.
For example, lets say a man named Joe opens a shoe store in downtown Greensboro, NC. He gets enough foot traffic to make ends meet, but one single unforseen expense can shut it all down. Breaking even is not acceptable, lets say Joe decideds he needs to do something about this, he reaches out to us and gets a simple website done with some Google services. Joe starts off ranking #4 in January and nothing really changes, by March he is ranking #3 and he notices a bit more traffic. By June he is #2 and is getting more customers in a day then he used to see in a week! Even without the #1 rank on Google Joe is doing great. He upgrades to the a larger more expensive plan and we are now making more money. By investing in you, we are investing in ourselves.
Now lets imagine if we didn’t give his business a great effort. Imagine we did the minimum and didn’t really care about how he ranked on Google. By March he would still be ranking #4, by June still #4. By now Covid-19 is in full swing and he cannot continue to pay for our services. We might have made more money those first 6 months, but we lost a life long customer! Lets do some quick math.
6x lets say $40 profit is $240 made.
Six times lets say $10 profit is $60, but after a years that’s $120. After another year and they upgrade that’s $360! Never give the minimum, always give the customer everything you can even if it isn’t cost-effective. Living by the bottom line will only bring you down.
Trapped by a Bad Web Developer? Here’s What to Do About Your Domain
Imagine this: You hired a web design company to build your business website, only to discover they won’t give you control of your own domain name. Now you’re stuck—unable to move hosts, update settings, or even fully own your online identity.
This shouldn’t happen. Your domain is your business’s digital property—it should always be yours.
What to Do If a Developer Won’t Release Your Domain
- Ask Firmly (in Writing) – Request full access to your domain registrar account. If they refuse, demand a reason.
- Check WHOIS Records – Use ICANN Lookup to see who legally owns the domain. If it’s registered under their name, they’re holding it hostage.
- Contact the Registrar – If you can prove you paid for the domain (even if they registered it), the registrar may help transfer it.
- Legal Action (Last Resort) – If the domain is critical to your business and they won’t budge, consult a lawyer.
Should You Just Get a New Domain?
Sometimes, fighting isn’t worth it—especially if:
✅ Your current domain has little SEO value (new site, low traffic)
✅ The old developer is charging ridiculous fees (domains cost $11–$20/year—never pay hundreds for one!)
✅ You can secure a better domain (shorter, clearer, more brandable)
But keep your old domain if:
❌ You have strong rankings & backlinks (losing them hurts SEO)
❌ Customers know it well (rebranding is costly)
❌ The old dev might misuse it (they could redirect traffic or tarnish your reputation)
How We Do Things Differently
At GWD, we believe:
🔹 You should always own your domain (we’ll help you register it in your name)
🔹 No one should hold your website files hostage (we’ll give you full backups anytime)
🔹 Transparency builds trust (you’re never “stuck” with us—but we’re confident you’ll stay because we deliver)
Don’t Get Locked In—Own Your Digital Future
If a shady developer is holding your domain ransom, we can help you regain control or transition smoothly to a new one. Let’s make sure your online business is truly yours.

Why Tracking Your Google Ranking Matters (Especially #1!)
Did you know that 91% of searchers never click past the first page of Google? That’s why tracking your search engine ranking (SERP position) is so important for your business. Here’s why:
#1 Spot = More Clicks (and Customers!)
- The #1 result gets 28% of all clicks – while #10 gets just 2.5%
- Being on page one triples your website traffic compared to page two
- Top rankings make your business look more trustworthy
3 Reasons to Track Your Rankings
- Know if your SEO is working – Are you moving up or falling behind competitors?
- Find easy opportunities – Maybe you rank #11 (just below page one) and could boost it with small tweaks
- Spot problems fast – If you suddenly drop, you can fix issues before losing traffic
How to Start Tracking (It’s Easy!)
- Free tools like Google Search Console show your top queries
- Paid tools like SEMrush or Ahrefs track rankings over time
Pro Tip: Even moving from #5 to #3 can double your clicks – every spot matters!

Why You Need Full Ownership of Your Website’s Domain and Code
Many business owners assume that once their website is live, they fully control it—but that’s not always the case. If you don’t own your domain name (.com, .net, etc.) and your website’s code, you could face serious risks, including:
- Losing Your Domain – If your web designer or agency registered it under their name, they could hold it hostage or let it expire.
- Being Locked Into a Host – Some website builders (like Wix or Squarespace) don’t let you easily move your site elsewhere.
- Paying Unnecessary Fees – Without ownership, you might be forced to pay high renewal fees or redesign costs.
Why Domain Ownership Matters
Your domain is your online address—without it, your website and email won’t work. Always:
✅ Register it yourself (using providers like Namecheap or Google Domains).
✅ Set auto-renewal to avoid accidental expiration.
✅ Keep login access (don’t let a third party control it).
Why Website Code Ownership Matters
If your site is on WordPress (or another open-source platform), you should:
✅ Have full access to your files and database (so you can move hosts anytime).
✅ Avoid proprietary systems that trap you with one company.
✅ Get a backup of your site regularly.
What to Do Next
- Check your domain’s WHOIS record (via ICANN Lookup) to confirm ownership.
- Ask your developer for admin access to your hosting and WordPress dashboard.
- Migrate if needed—don’t wait until it’s too late!
Don’t risk losing your online presence. Take control of your domain and website today!

What Is a Front-End Developer?
Front-end web development, also known as client-side development is the practice of producing HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for a website or Web Application so that the user can see and interact with them directly. The challenge associated with front-end development is that the tools and techniques used to create the front end of a website(usually in WordPress) change constantly and so the developer needs to constantly be aware of how the field is developing.
The objective of designing a site is to ensure that when the users open up the site they see the information in a format that is easy to read and relevant. This is further complicated by the fact that users now use a large variety of devices with varying screen sizes and resolutions thus forcing the designer to take into consideration these aspects when designing the site. They need to be sure that their site comes up correctly on different browsers (multi-platform), different operating systems (cross-platform), and different devices (cross-devices), which requires careful planning on the side of the developer.
Brand Identity
If your branding is not done properly nobody will ever remember your business. You can have a client come in once and totally forget the experience.
You may wonder why you would need them to remember it. If they remember you, when they need you again they’ll know who to go to! Repeat customers/regulars are the greatest of customers you can wish to have and branding works towards this goal.
Brand Identity formation really isn’t an incredible task, just make sure you know how you want to come across to the customers, think of special ways to stand out, have a few special signifiers and you’re basically good to go! Just kidding, it’s actually an incredibly complex process that I am still learning about daily.
One major part of branding is time. You can’t just create a business yesterday and expect it to be a household name. Think of companies like Netflix, when it comes to watching a movie online that’s what people immediately think ( I bet this keeps Hulu up at night ).
