Custom code — without page builders or WordPress
Waahtera does things a little differently. Instead of using page builders or WordPress, we hand-write all code. This allows us to create custom designs without unnecessary, bloated code that slows down page load times. Our sites load immediately, achieve excellent Google PageSpeed scores, are more secure and are practically impossible to hack, and we do not need to constantly update plugins or WordPress versions to prevent break-ins. If your current site feels outdated or no longer supports your business, also read why website redesign requires professional expertise
What this means
- Faster load times
- Better conversions
- Better performing ads
- Security
- Improved search visibility
- Boosts your Google Business profile in map listings

Faster load times enable more conversions
Competition online is fierce and you need every advantage to stand out and outperform competitors. When others use page builders and experience slow load times, you have the opportunity to offer something different — a custom-coded site that loads extremely fast. This matters because if your website takes more than 3 seconds to load, you may lose up to 50% of visitors who will not wait. Our sites load so quickly that visitors often stay long enough to engage, which enables more leads than a competitor's site.

Better ad performance
The faster your site loads, the better conversion rates you will get from ads. Google also favors fast-loading sites. Faster sites typically have a lower cost per click, which can save hundreds of euros or more per month depending on your ad spend.
Improve search rankings
Faster load times can improve your Google ranking in several ways. The most direct is simply that the site is fast. If two similar sites have comparable content and domain authority, Google tends to prefer the one with better PageSpeed scores and Core Web Vitals.
Another, more indirect way is that faster sites reach more people. The more visitors your site attracts, the better your ranking can become. By focusing on Google's Core Web Vitals, we create a better user experience that keeps visitors on the site longer and encourages them to explore additional pages. Increased traffic, longer sessions and higher click-through rates help improve your Google ranking. Well-written, useful content also makes the site valuable to visitors.
Boost your Google Business profile
A faster-loading site can also improve the visibility of your Google Business profile and help you appear more prominently in Google Maps searches. When combined with many five-star reviews, images and a fully completed profile, you will start receiving more leads through your profile than before.
