What this service is

Website platforms

Kanyon Studio designs and builds websites on Webflow, Shopify, Wix and Squarespace. Platform, content, integrations and search-related work are agreed in the project scope.

Not sure which platform you need? Read the full breakdown: Webflow vs Squarespace vs Shopify vs Wix for San Diego small businesses — what each one actually costs, where each one breaks, and the migration traps to avoid.

Builds include semantic HTML, relevant structured data, clear service content and performance checks. Optional llms.txt documentation can accompany the site. Core Web Vitals are measured where data is available; field scores depend on real devices and visits and are not guaranteed at launch.

This site is a live example of Kanyon Studio's design, photography, service content and browser-based tools. Review the work and the project scope when deciding whether the same approach fits your business; a ranking or score from one site does not predict another site's results.

What “AI search optimized” actually means

Search-related work

AI-assisted search can link to supporting websites. A useful measurement plan separates citations, referral visits and qualified inquiries instead of assuming that AI traffic converts better for every business.

Content, business information and page access are reviewed in the agreed scope.

Sites can include relevant structured data, clear content and technical checks. Optional llms.txt documentation is agreed in the scope.

Build process

Design and build process

01

Discovery + content audit

Review the brand’s existing site, content, and competitive set. Identify keyword targets and AI-search opportunities.

02

Sitemap + IA

Flat, AI-readable site structure. Most service sites need 6–12 pages; ecommerce gets a CMS-driven product structure.

03

Wireframes + visual design

Low-fidelity layouts with copy direction, then high-fidelity Figma mocks, component library, responsive breakpoints.

04

Build on the chosen platform

Semantic HTML, CMS for blog/portfolio content, schema injected via custom code or hosted scripts.

05

AI/SEO bake-in

JSON-LD schemas, llms.txt and llms-full.txt at root, FAQ blocks per page, internal-link graph, sitemap.xml plus robots.txt.

06

Performance tuning + launch

Image optimization, font loading, script review and pre-launch checks. Post-launch support and timing are agreed in the quote.

Web design FAQ

Web design FAQ

How does web design pricing work in San Diego?
Sites start from $700 and are quoted flat from your brief on Webflow, Shopify, Wix, or Squarespace. The number depends on scope: how many pages, whether it is e-commerce, and whether copy and photography already exist. Design, build, schema, SEO, AI search optimization, and launch are included, with a number back within 24 hours.
How long does a website take to build?
A one-page site launches in two to three weeks, a five-page site in about four, and a ten-page site in four to six, assuming 48-hour content and feedback turnaround from the client. Every launch includes a pre-launch SEO audit, Lighthouse scoring, and 30 days of post-launch support. Paid expedited timelines are available on request, subject to scope and availability. The fee and schedule are confirmed before booking.
Which platform should I build on — Webflow, Shopify, Wix, or Squarespace?
Webflow is the default for service businesses, brand sites, and anything where design control plus AI/SEO performance is the priority. Shopify is the right call for product brands with 10+ SKUs, subscription billing, or multi-channel commerce (Instagram, TikTok Shop, Amazon). Wix works for fast one-page service sites and tight launch timelines. Squarespace fits portfolio-driven brands, photographers, restaurants, and teams that prioritize easy in-house editing. Discovery matches the right platform to the business — and every site ships with the same SEO + AI-search baseline regardless of which one is chosen.
What does “AI search optimized” mean for a website?
AI search optimization (also called Generative Engine Optimization, or GEO) is the practice of structuring a site so that ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Claude cite it in their answers. Concrete deliverables: JSON-LD schema (Service, FAQPage, LocalBusiness, Offer), an llms.txt file at the root, FAQ blocks with answer-first paragraphs, semantic HTML, statistical content, and Core Web Vitals tuned for fast crawler indexing.
Do you handle SEO or just design and build?
Both. Every Kanyon Studio build — on any platform — includes structural SEO and AI-search optimization at launch. Ongoing keyword strategy, monthly blog content, GBP management, and performance reporting are available through the AI Search & SEO Optimization retainer.
Will my site rank in Google after you build it?
The build includes the agreed technical and content foundations for search. Rankings depend on relevance, competition, links and how search engines assess the site. No position or 30–90-day result is guaranteed. Search Console and inquiry reporting provide a baseline for deciding what to improve after launch.
Can you migrate my existing site between platforms (Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Shopify)?
Yes. Wix to Webflow, Squarespace to Shopify, WordPress to Webflow, and other migration paths are a regular part of the work. Migrations preserve URLs so existing rankings survive, 301-redirect anything retired, and rebuild the structure on the new platform with schema and AI-search optimization built in. Migrations are quoted flat like a new build, because the SEO-preservation work is significant.
Do you do ecommerce (Webflow Ecommerce or Shopify)?
Yes. Webflow Ecommerce for low-to-mid SKU stores, or Webflow plus Shopify for higher-volume catalogs. Stores, large catalogs and subscription billing are quoted flat from your brief.
Do you build sites for clients outside San Diego?
Yes. Local San Diego businesses are the studio’s primary market for photography and social retainers, but web design and AI-search optimization are remote-friendly services on every platform. Past Webflow, Shopify, Wix, and Squarespace clients are based across California and beyond.
How do I start a project?
Submit a brief with your current site URL (if any), goals, and target launch date. A flat quote, timeline, and deposit invoice come back by email within 24 hours. Questions get answered in writing before anything is signed.
