Why Our Experience Is Different

Before we built websites for clients, we built a business.

igofresh.com — 2010

In 2010 — two years before Instacart launched — Todd built and ran igofresh.com, a fully operational grocery delivery e-commerce platform in Redding. It ran on PHP and ZenCart, handled real orders from real customers, and operated as a functioning business for a full year before being retired.

That's the origin of TOD. Not an online course, not an agency internship — a working business that Todd built from the ground up, ran himself, and learned what actually matters when a site goes down on a Friday night and customers can't check out.

Executive Background

Before founding TOD, Todd held VP-level roles in consumer products and operations — including VP New Product Marketing Development at NordicTrack during a period when the company scaled from $20M to $455M in annual sales. He also grew a startup organic distributor from 3 people to $1M in revenue and 21 employees.

When Todd looks at your website, he's not thinking about fonts and colors first — he's thinking about your business goals. That perspective is rare in a web designer.

Your Website Is the First Impression of Your Business

You’ve invested in your equipment, your team, and your space — don’t let your website be the weak link. In just seconds, visitors decide whether to trust your business or click away. A poorly designed site can cost you leads, sales, and credibility. At Twining Original Design, we build websites that create strong first impressions and turn traffic into results.

At Twining Original Design in Redding, we help businesses make a powerful first impression online with modern, effective web design that builds trust and converts visitors.

Hosting That Actually Performs

We Don't Put Your Business on a Shared Server

Most hosting companies sell shared hosting — dozens of websites crammed onto the same server, competing for the same resources. It's cheap, and you get what you pay for. TOD hosts all 71+ client sites on a private VPS (Virtual Private Server) on Hetzner US infrastructure, managed directly by Todd.

Shared Hosting (GoDaddy, Bluehost, etc.)

  • Resources shared with 100s of neighbor sites — their traffic spike slows your site
  • One compromised neighbor site can expose yours through shared server access
  • Outages affect all tenants simultaneously — you go down when they go down
  • Support routed through overseas ticket queues — slow to respond
  • Slower page loads hurt your Google rankings (Core Web Vitals)

TOD Private VPS Hosting

  • Dedicated resources — your site performance is not affected by anyone else
  • Isolated environment — security hardened and managed by a Google-certified professional
  • US-based Hetzner infrastructure — fast, reliable, and independently operated
  • Call or text Todd directly — same-day support, not a ticket queue
  • Faster load times = better Google rankings for your business

Key Website Design Goals for Online Success

The Right Tools for the Job – Let Strategy Lead the Tech

When planning your website, don’t get overwhelmed by technology. You don’t need to know what programming language or framework should be used — that’s our job. Your focus should be on what you want your website to achieve. For example, saying “I need an e-commerce store, so I need a JavaScript developer” might not be accurate. The best technology depends on your project goals, not assumptions about the tools. At Twining Original Design, we bring the experience and insight to choose the right technologies to meet your site’s goals — whether that’s selling products, capturing leads, or providing information. To help define your project scope, think in terms of your users: What do I want people to do on my site? These “user stories” help guide the design and development process — and they help us build the most effective website possible. We help businesses in Redding and beyond turn these goals into reality with smart, strategic web design and development. See why we’re considered the best web design company in Redding, CA

Web Hosting and Domain Names — Done Right

Web design is just one piece of the puzzle — reliable hosting and domain setup are just as critical. While TV ads promote one-size-fits-all solutions, they rarely mention the real considerations: server reliability, email performance, operating systems, and whether the hosting package supports the technologies your site needs.

At Twining Original Design, we’ve worked with a wide range of hosting environments and know how to match the right provider to your specific website goals and traffic demands.

We’ve seen clients unknowingly purchase hosting plans that couldn’t support essential features — leading to delays, workarounds, and unnecessary costs. When you work with a developer who understands both design and infrastructure, your project runs smoother from day one.

Let us help you choose the right hosting and domain setup to support your website’s long-term success.

E-commerce used to be expensive and complicated. Custom-built stores and clunky shopping cart systems made online selling difficult for small business owners.

Today, with modern platforms like WordPress, Shopify, and WooCommerce, setting up an online store is faster, easier, and more cost-effective than ever — and many clients can manage their own store with minimal training.

At Twining Original Design, we don’t just design beautiful stores — we help you launch with the right tools, integrations, and strategies to grow your business online.

We also provide clear, actionable answers to the questions that matter most:

  • How will you get paid?
  • How will you handle delivery or shipping?
  • What about sales tax?
  • How do you track inventory?
  • How can you make your site secure?

Whether you’re selling one product or hundreds, we’ll help you build an e-commerce site that performs, scales, and converts.

Mobile-First Design

Your next customer is searching for you on their phone. Right now.

Over 60% of local searches happen on a mobile device. Google now indexes the mobile version of your site first — if your mobile experience is slow or hard to use, your rankings and your reputation suffer before a visitor ever reaches your desktop site.

Every website TOD builds is designed mobile-first from day one. That means fast load times, touch-friendly navigation, and layouts that look intentional on every screen — not just scaled down from a desktop design.

  • Google Mobile-First Indexing

    Google uses your mobile site to determine rankings — not your desktop version.

  • Core Web Vitals Optimized

    Fast load, stable layout, and responsive to touch — the three signals Google measures.

  • Click-to-Call & Local Search Ready

    Phone numbers tap-to-dial, maps embedded, and local schema markup baked in.

  • Tested on Real Devices

    iPhone, Android, tablet — verified before launch, not just resized in a browser window.

Common Questions

Website Design & SEO — FAQ

Quick answers to what most Redding businesses ask us first.

How long does it take to build a website? +

A typical website takes 3–6 weeks, depending on scope, content readiness, and revision rounds. Simpler brochure sites can launch faster. Custom web apps or e-commerce stores take longer. We give you a realistic timeline upfront — not a number we'll miss.

Do you work with small businesses in Redding? +

Yes — small business is our core market. We've been working with Redding-area businesses since 2010, across industries including HVAC, plumbing, dental, florists, nonprofits, healthcare, and more. Most of our clients have been with us for 5+ years.

Will my website be mobile-friendly? +

Every site we build is fully responsive and tested on real devices — not just resized in a browser window. Google indexes the mobile version of your site first, so mobile-first design is non-negotiable for rankings.

Can I update my website myself after launch? +

Yes. We build on WordPress and provide hands-on training so you can update content, swap images, and add pages on your own. We also offer ongoing maintenance and hosting if you'd rather hand that off entirely.

Do you offer SEO with web design? +

On-page SEO is built into every site — title tags, meta descriptions, heading structure, image optimization, and local schema markup. Full SEO campaigns (Google Business Profile, link building, content strategy, monthly reporting) are available as a separate service starting at $500/month.

What does your 7-phase web design process include? +

Every project follows a structured process so nothing gets skipped:

  1. 1. Analysis — goals, audience, and competitive landscape
  2. 2. Planning — sitemap, user stories, and project scope
  3. 3. Social & Profile Setup — Google Business, social accounts
  4. 4. Content — copy, images, and SEO structure
  5. 5. Development — design and build
  6. 6. Testing — mobile, speed, forms, and cross-browser
  7. 7. Launch & Training — go live, then hands-on training

We Also Build Custom Software

Need something a website can't do? TOD has shipped 8 production applications — from a SaaS platform for horse transporters built in Rust, to a real-time mortgage flyer tool for realtors, to igofresh.com, a working grocery delivery business built years before Instacart existed.
