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.
Why Design Matters
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.
At Twining Original Design, we build websites that create strong first impressions and turn traffic into results.
Schedule a Free Consultation3 sec
That's all you get.
Visitors form a lasting opinion about your business in under 3 seconds — before they've read a single word.
A poorly designed site can cost you…
Leads
Visitors leave before they ever contact you.
Sales
A slow or broken site kills the path to purchase.
Credibility
An outdated site signals an outdated business.
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
Site Audit
Key Website Design Goals
for Online Success
Can your current website answer yes to every one of these?
Is your website easy to navigate, giving visitors a sense of confidence and clarity?
Confused visitors don't convert. Navigation should feel effortless within 5 seconds of landing.
Does the design hold attention with interactive, engaging elements?
A flat, static site gets skimmed and abandoned. Good design keeps visitors moving deeper into your content.
Is your content valuable and aligned with your brand message?
Visitors should immediately understand who you are, what you do, and why they should choose you over a competitor.
Is the layout fully responsive — optimized for desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones?
Google ranks the mobile version of your site first. A layout that breaks on phones hurts both traffic and trust.
Is your site built on a framework that's SEO-friendly and shareable on social media?
The wrong platform can make great content invisible. TOD builds on frameworks designed to rank and share from day one.
Free Website Audit
How many boxes can your current site check?
If you're unsure about even one of these five goals, there's likely traffic and revenue being left on the table. A free consultation with TOD takes 20 minutes and gives you a clear picture of where your site stands.

Strategy-First Web Design
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 to use — that's our job. The best technology depends on your project goals, not assumptions about tools.
To define your project scope, think in terms of your users: What do I want people to do on my site? These "user stories" guide the entire design and development process — and they help us build the most effective website possible.
At Twining Original Design, we bring the experience to match the right platform to your goals — whether that's selling products, capturing leads, or building something entirely custom.

The right platform is chosen after we understand your goals — never before.
Hosting & Domains
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 what actually matters: server reliability, email performance, operating systems, and whether the hosting package even supports the technologies your site needs.
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.
See Our Hosting PackagesWhat TV ads don't tell you about hosting
Server Reliability
Uptime guarantees mean nothing if the server is overloaded with hundreds of neighbor sites competing for the same resources.
Email Performance
Business email hosted on the wrong server ends up in spam, or goes down when your website does. These should often be separate.
Platform Compatibility
Some hosting plans don't support the PHP version, database type, or server config your site requires — leading to broken features at launch.
Domain Strategy
Where your domain is registered, who controls the DNS, and how records are configured affects email delivery, security, and site speed.
Let us help you choose the right hosting and domain setup to support your website's long-term success.
E-Commerce Development
E-Commerce Website Design
That Works for You
E-commerce used to be expensive and complicated. Today, with platforms like WooCommerce and Shopify, setting up an online store is faster 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. Whether you're selling one product or hundreds, we'll build a store that performs, scales, and converts.
Shields Date Garden — Palm Springs, CA
A historic farm (est. 1924) needed a modern WooCommerce store to extend their seasonal business online. TOD designed and manages the store to this day.
$500,000+ in annual online sales
We answer the questions most designers never ask.
Before we build your store, every one of these is resolved.
How will you get paid?
Payment gateways — Stripe, PayPal, Square — configured, tested, and ready on day one.
How will you handle delivery or shipping?
Real-time shipping rates, carrier integrations, and zone configuration built into the checkout flow.
What about sales tax?
Automated tax calculation by state and ZIP — compliant and handled before your first order.
How do you track inventory?
Stock management, low-stock alerts, and variant tracking — so you never oversell.
How can you make your site secure?
SSL, PCI-compliant checkout, and security hardening — non-negotiable for any store we build.
Most designers hand you a pretty store and leave the hard questions to you. We don't.

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