In a world of AI-built templates and cookie-cutter site builders, custom web design stands out. Your website is often the very first interaction someone will have with your brand. What does your site say about you? Is it clean and easy to navigate? Does it reflect your values? Does it feel modern, functional, and trustworthy?
Our Syracuse-based web design team focuses on creating online experiences that are not only visually compelling but also goal-driven. Every site we design is tailored to the unique needs of your business. From startups to long-standing local companies, we help businesses build trust and grow with strategic, smart design.
We look at the full picture:
- Who are your visitors?
- What do they want from your site?
- How can we help them find it, fast?
Every website we build starts with those questions. Then, we map out the structure, design the interface, and build out the features that matter most to your business goals, whether that’s capturing leads, selling products, showcasing a portfolio, or something else entirely.

Today’s users are browsing on the go, which means your website needs to look great and function flawlessly on every screen. That’s why we take a mobile-first approach to web design, ensuring your site is responsive across smartphones, tablets, and desktops. Not only does this create a seamless user experience, but it also boosts your search engine rankings as Google favors mobile-optimized websites, and so do your customers.
We pair this responsive design approach with custom WordPress development to give your business a powerful, scalable online presence. Whether you need a blog, booking system, or e-commerce platform, we build it into your site with clean design and intuitive functionality. Our Syracuse-based WordPress experts can create a theme from scratch or tailor an existing one to fit your brand. The result? A flexible, secure website that’s easy to manage and built to evolve with your business.

If you’re planning to sell online, your website needs to be functional, secure, and easy for customers to use. At Split14 Creative, we create e-commerce website designs that help Syracuse businesses thrive in the digital marketplace.
From product listings to shopping carts, secure checkout systems to inventory management, we can build you a fully-functional online store that’s ready to go live. Whether you’re launching a new brand or taking an existing retail business online, we’ll work closely with you to build a digital storefront that drives real revenue.
Launching your new site is only the beginning. Websites need regular care to stay secure, up-to-date, and function at their best. We offer website maintenance packages that take care of everything from plugin updates and security patches to performance checks and backups.

With the ever-growing variety of devices and screen sizes introduced each year, many agencies prioritize desktop experiences. At Split14, we take a mobile-first approach, ensuring that your site looks and performs exceptionally on smartphones and tablets while still offering a great experience on desktops.
An SEO-friendly website is designed to rank higher on search engines by adhering to best practices in coding and content structure. This includes:
- Fast Load Times: Optimized images and code to reduce page load speeds.
- Responsive Design: Ensuring the site performs well on mobile and desktop devices.
- Keyword Optimization: Strategically placing keywords in page titles, meta descriptions, and content.
- Proper Coding: Clean HTML, structured data, and URL optimization for easy indexing by search engines.
These features not only improve visibility on Google but also enhance user experience, which is a key factor in driving traffic and conversions.
Honestly? Maybe. Here’s why:
Sometimes, limitations like outdated platforms, frameworks, or poorly optimized code make reworking an existing site more challenging than starting fresh. That’s why we begin with a thorough review of your current website. We’ll assess its structure, performance, and functionality to determine if it can be improved within its existing framework.
If we believe we can deliver a valuable impact by optimizing your current site, we’ll outline a clear path forward. However, if the limitations of your existing platform make a meaningful upgrade impractical, we won’t waste your time or resources. Instead, we’ll provide honest recommendations, whether that’s a complete rebuild or another approach that aligns with your business objective.
Yes, we provide reliable hosting solutions and ongoing maintenance packages to ensure your site remains secure, fast, and up-to-date. Our hosting services offer high uptime rates, fast server speeds, and data backups. For maintenance, we handle tasks such as server stack updates, plugin installations, performance monitoring, and fixing any potential issues. With our hosting and maintenance services, you can focus on your business while we take care of your website’s functionality and security.
