The Challenge

Ember & Grain had a visually beautiful Squarespace site that was invisible on Google. Their PageSpeed score was 34 on mobile, their bounce rate was 68%, and they were losing customers to competitors with faster, better-optimized sites. Monthly Squarespace fees were $65/month with no end in sight.

The Solution

We rebuilt the entire site from scratch — custom hand-coded React with server-side rendering, optimized images served from a CDN, and full local SEO schema markup for their Austin location. The new site includes an online menu, a wholesale inquiry form, and AI-SEO optimization for ChatGPT and Perplexity.

"We moved from Squarespace and our Google rankings jumped within 6 weeks. The PageSpeed score went from 34 to 100 and our online orders tripled. Best investment we've made."
