East Lyme, CT
Custom websites for East Lyme businesses that actually show up on Google.
East Lyme is a town where small businesses matter — from the shops and restaurants in Niantic village to the service providers working throughout the area. If your website isn't pulling its weight in local search, we can fix that.
What does a bad website actually cost a small business?
East Lyme businesses compete for customers across a wide area — against larger operations in New London and smaller local competitors all along the shoreline. When someone searches for your service on Google, the site that loads fastest and ranks highest wins the call. A slow or poorly built site doesn't just underperform — it actively costs you business.
A slow, poorly structured website has two costs: it ranks lower in search results because Google uses page speed as a ranking factor, and it loses visitors who land on it and leave before reading a word. Both of those cost real revenue.
We fix both problems — not with templates or plugins, but with a custom build from the ground up using a stack designed specifically for performance.
What we build
Every Shoreline Web Solutions site is built on Astro, styled with Tailwind CSS, and deployed to Cloudflare's global edge network. That combination consistently produces PageSpeed scores of 90 or above on both mobile and desktop — the range where Google's Core Web Vitals are fully satisfied.
Local search visibility
A technically sound, fast-loading site with properly structured local business schema gives Google everything it needs to surface you when someone nearby searches for what you offer.
Mobile performance
The majority of local searches happen on phones. A site that scores 95 on desktop but 60 on mobile is a mobile site problem — and most of your customers are searching on mobile.
No platform lock-in
You own your site. Not a Wix subscription, not a WordPress theme dependent on plugins that need constant updates. A clean, maintainable build on infrastructure you control.
Real results from real Connecticut clients
These aren't projections. These are PageSpeed scores from Google's own tool, before and after a Shoreline Web Solutions rebuild.
