Website Speed & Optimization

Have you ever clicked to a website, waited for it to load, and then hit the back button? We all have.

If your website is running slow, I can guarantee you’re losing customers and income as you read this.

Building Websites for Speed

We build all of our websites with speed and performance in mind. There’s a fine balance between keeping something on your website because it looks great vs. removing it to speed things up.

Optimizing Your Current Website

If you already have a slow website, we can help. We’ll take a look under the hood and provide options on how to speed things up.

Remember, there is always room for improvement.

Dedicated Virtual Hosting

You are only as strong as your weakest link.

You may have a website that’s built 100% correctly for speed, but with a bad host, it’s won’t make a difference in the world.

We offer Dedicated Virtual (DV) Hosting which is just about the gold standard in hosting. We’ve moved websites onto our DV Hosting and have seen speed increases of 3x.

Questions?

We realize all of this information can be daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. We’re here to help you every step of the way.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to give us a call.

I have worked with Shawn at Graticle for three years, which should speak volumes in and of itself. I am a high school teacher and serve as the Coordinator for the AVID program. Each August-September we create new t-shirts for distribution to all 140 of our students, along with supportive members of the faculty, staff, and administration.

My team of AVID teachers brainstorms ideas for both the front and back of the shirt, and I present the best one or two concepts to Shawn for his expert feedback. We quickly settle on the best design idea and colors, and then Shawn and I bounce more detailed suggestions off each other for a few days. His suggestions always result in significant improvements to my rough concept. He presents me with graphic “rough drafts” at each stage of our discussion until we have a design I’m really happy with.

Shawn then works his magic, and the final design is the work of a consummate professional. We get tons of compliments on our shirts, starting with our t-shirt printer, and usually end up having to do a second print run for additional faculty and staff who want one of the shirts. This year, a middle school in Southern California saw the design and asked if they could use it.

Another positive aspect of working with Graticle is that Shawn is easy to reach by phone or email, and he is very responsive. I hear back from him either the same day or the next day.

Working with Shawn and Graticle has been a pleasure, He produces good work quickly and at a fair price. I recommend him to you without reservation.

Love working with Shawn at Graticle. He is the consummate professional and not afraid to speak up with certainty around how to maximize his talent regarding how his graphics will have the most impact on our marketing and branding efforts. In my mind, this is critical. I am not just paying for someone to create what I want, but rather the value of their knowledge and expertise to create meaningful results. On top of that, his work is outstanding. I look forward to a long, fruitful partnership. Thank you Shawn and Graticle.

About Us

Graticle started in 2009 out of Ridgefield, Washington. Not the ideal time to start a business (with a recession in full) but we’ve figured out how to stay ahead of the curve and work harder and better than the other guys. We started out with one thing in mind: Clients. We realized that a project is what you’re after but that’s not all. Our clients not only love what we create but also receive great care and appreciation throughout and after their project is completed. Need more proof? Read any one of our 94 customer reviews.
