Web Design + SEO
We build websites where design and SEO are part of the same brief, not handed off between two teams. Fast, semantic, structured for search from the first wireframe.

Most agencies hand you a beautiful website that no one finds. FlintHorn builds websites where SEO is part of the architecture - not an afterthought. Better rankings, better leads, from day one.

Why FlintHorn
We built this agency because we were tired of the handoff.
We're not the same.
Most agencies have a design team and an SEO team that barely talk to each other. You get a site that looks great in the browser and disappears in search.
FlintHorn is different. We’re a small, senior team that treats every project as a unified problem: how do we build something that ranks, converts, and represents your brand with confidence?
We specialize in the moments that matter most, migrations, redesigns, and new builds where the SEO foundation has to be right from the start. If you’ve been burned before, you’ll notice the difference immediately.

Common questions
Do I need separate vendors for web design and SEO?
No, and we’d argue you shouldn’t. When SEO is treated as an add-on, it usually means retrofitting structure, speed, and content onto a site that wasn’t built for it. We integrate both from the first wireframe.
What happens to my SEO rankings during a website migration?
That’s exactly the question you should be asking. Most ranking drops during migrations are preventable, they come from missed redirects, changed URL structures, or lost metadata. We run a structured SEO migration process to protect your traffic continuity.
Do you work with small businesses or only larger companies?
Both. We work best with growth-stage businesses that take their digital presence seriously, whether that’s a local service business investing in SEO for the first time, or a regional company replatforming a complex site.
How long does a new website take?
Typically 6–12 weeks for a full build, depending on scope and content readiness. Migrations and redesigns vary. We’ll give you a real timeline in our first conversation, not a sales number.
What does "LLM SEO" mean and why does it matter?
Search is changing fast. AI Overviews in Google, answers in ChatGPT and Perplexity, more and more people are getting answers without clicking traditional results. LLM SEO is about optimizing your content to show up in those AI-generated answers. It’s early, and that’s exactly why now is the time to get ahead of it.
From the blog
Straight talk on web design, SEO, and what’s actually working.

Web Design and SEO Should Be One Brief — Not Two Vendors
When design and SEO are separate handoffs, you get a pretty site that nobody finds. Here is why they belong in the same brief — and what that looks like in practice.
Website Redesign
Website Redesign Without Losing Rankings
A redesign should improve how you look and how you rank. Here is the SEO equity checklist we use so a new site does not erase years of search work.

The Cost of Hiring Separate Web Design and SEO Agencies
Two invoices feel thorough. They usually produce a site that looks finished and a backlog of SEO fixes that never ship. Here is what that split actually costs.

Why Websites Treat Urgent Leads Like Tire-Kickers
If your contact form treats a ready-to-buy inquiry the same as a “just browsing” quote request, you are losing work. Here is how generic forms bury priority leads — and how to fix the front door.
