Why a slow, clunky website is costing you local work

When someone searches for what you do and taps your site, you have a couple of seconds. If it is slow to load or awkward on a phone, most of them are gone before they have read a word, and they land on a competitor whose site simply worked. You never see that lost job; it just quietly went elsewhere.

The phone is the front door

The large majority of local searches happen on a mobile. A site that is not built mobile-first is failing most of its visitors by default. Buttons that are hard to tap, text that needs pinching, forms that fight the thumb: each one loses people who were ready to get in touch.

Speed is trust

A fast site does not just keep people; it signals a business that has its act together. A sluggish one signals the opposite, fairly or not.

Fast by design

Walker Works builds sites that are fast, mobile-first and built to convert, owned outright rather than rented.
