Website Development

We build fast, secure, and beautiful websites that convert—engineered with security-first practices, Core Web Vitals performance, WCAG 2.2 accessibility, and technical SEO baked in from day one.

Start Your Project

Overview

Black Trace Labs delivers end‑to‑end web development—from concept and UX wireframes to launch and ongoing optimization. Every build is secure-by-design and tuned for performance, discoverability, and maintainability. Whether you need a marketing site, a custom web app, or a CMS‑driven content platform, we architect solutions that scale.

Mobile‑first, fully responsive layouts for phones, tablets, and 4K displays.
Security guardrails (input validation, hardened headers, strict dependencies) as a baseline—not an upsell.
Performance budgets with Lighthouse & Web Vitals targets: LCP, CLS, and TBT.
Technical SEO foundation: schema, sitemaps, clean IA, and crawl‑friendly routing.

What We Build

Marketing & Corporate Sites

Elegant, high‑converting brand sites with fast load times and airtight security posture.

Our Development Process

Discovery & Scope — Goals, audiences, KPIs, integrations, and risk profile.
IA & Wireframes — Content structure, user flows, and low‑fidelity layouts.
UI Design System — Component library, states, and accessibility colors/contrast.
Secure Build — Modern stack implementation with code reviews and unit tests.
Performance & SEO — Lighthouse tuning, image strategy, schema, and metadata.
Security Hardening — CSP, headers, input sanitization, dependency checks.
Staging & UAT — Content load, stakeholder review, accessibility & cross‑browser QA.
Launch & Handover — CI/CD release, monitoring hooks, documentation, training.
Support & Growth — Iteration roadmap, analytics insights, and enhancement sprints.

Every step is tracked with version control, issue management, and optional CI/CD pipelines for repeatable, low‑risk releases.

Tech Stack & Tooling

Frontend

HTML5, CSS3 (Bootstrap 5, custom GUI.css), modern JS (ES6+)
Optional: React, Vue, or lightweight vanilla patterns as project demands

Security & Compliance

We implement secure coding patterns, strict content security policies, dependency audits, server‑level hardening, and privacy‑minded data handling. Need extra assurance? Pair development with a dedicated penetration test before launch.

Input validation, output encoding, and CSRF/anti‑automation controls.
Security headers: CSP, HSTS, X‑Frame‑Options, Referrer‑Policy, and more.
Encrypted transport (TLS) and secure at‑rest storage options.

Performance & Technical SEO

Core Web Vitals: LCP ≤ 2.5s, CLS ≤ 0.1, TBT minimized via code‑splitting and defer/async.
Semantic HTML, accessible landmarks, ARIA where appropriate, keyboard navigation.
Structured data (JSON‑LD), XML sitemaps, logical URL architecture, robots directives.

Your site won’t just look elite—it will load fast, rank clean, and be usable by everyone.
