04 · Build Built for every screen, in light and dark

Plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript, no framework. The site stays fast, secure and cheap to host.

It follows each visitor's device into light or dark mode, and every page works from a small phone up to a wide desktop.

Accessibility is built in from the start. AODA asks Ontario sites for WCAG 2.0 AA, and PageSpeed Insights scores devsign8.com 100 for accessibility on mobile and desktop.

05 · Be found Built to be found by people, Google and AI

People still Google a business, but more of them now ask ChatGPT, Copilot or Perplexity. The site is set up for all three.

Every item below is live on devsign8.com, and every one of them is something your business can have too.

07 · Measure Measured, then improved, every month

Tracking runs through one Google Tag Manager container: GA4 for visits and every Book a call click. Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools cover search.

Of the people who see devsign8.com in Google results, 23% click through, and it ranks on page one on average. It is a small sample so far, so it is the trend I watch, not a trophy.

Each month I read which searches bring people in and which pages keep them, then change one thing and check it the next month. One read found a font file holding up the first paint. Serving the fonts from the site's own domain took mobile speed from 90 to 96; the latest run scores 97 on mobile and 100 on desktop.
