Web Design Philippines
Built for People.
Ranked by Google.
Right now, someone is searching for what you offer — and finding a competitor instead. Custom websites on Next.js + Vercel. SEO from the first line of code. Fixed pricing from $2,500.
Clients & Projects
Every day your current website exists without ranking on Google, it is directing potential clients toward whoever does rank there. I run a boutique web design studio based in the Philippines that builds custom websites for mid-size companies and enterprise clients worldwide — websites that rank because they are built for real people first.
Fixed pricing from $2,500. Every project is built on Next.js, hosted on Vercel, and includes SEO from the first line of code — not as an add-on. I have been practising SEO since 2007 and have held Page 1 rankings for over 15 years. I handle every project personally. No juniors. No agency handoffs. Every proof point on this page is publicly verifiable before you commit.
Every website gets judged twice.
The first judgment happens in seconds — a person lands on a page and decides, almost before they know it, whether the business looks credible, whether the site feels right, whether what they're reading is worth their time. Design, copy, and clarity do that work.
The second judgment happens before the first one — and it's Google's.
Google doesn't set its own standards. It measures human behaviour — time on page, return visits, the signals left by people who found what they were looking for, and those who didn't. Since Google's Helpful Content System update (2022, updated through 2024), this is not an interpretation: Google has explicitly stated that content written to rank rather than to help real people will be systematically demoted. Build a site people genuinely want to use, and rankings follow.
The agency that built something beautiful handed it to an SEO team who bolted keywords onto a structure never designed to carry them. That site is live right now — invisible on Google, underperforming for visitors — and it belongs to a business that deserved better. If you've been burned before, you already know what was missing.
I built BraneBox to solve both — not as a promise, but as a structural position. Because these are not two separate problems. They have one solution, and it has to be built in from the first line of code. Every day that solution isn't in place, you're paying the cost of its absence.
Renting Attention vs. Owning It
An ad campaign stops the moment you stop paying. A website built to rank keeps earning. Month one, month twelve, month thirty-six — the same pages, still working. That is the difference between renting attention and owning it.
Your Website Has Two Audiences. Most Agencies Only Know One.
The problem is not that agencies are incompetent. Most web design agencies in the Philippines are structurally split — design is one team, SEO is another.
The result is a website that looks professional on the surface and sits on page six. Or a site that ranks but loses people the moment they arrive — costing the business every lead it should have earned.
I build both sides as one integrated brief from the start — not SEO handed off to a separate team after design is done, not a checklist of keywords inserted the week before launch. A website designed from the opening conversation to perform for people and to rank for Google. Because those two goals, built together, reinforce each other.
Working with BraneBox Remotely
Fixed pricing in USD. 50% deposit to begin — the remaining 50% only after you have reviewed and approved the finished site. You own everything on final payment — code, domain, GitHub access, all assets. No lock-in. No exit fee. Every proof point — PageSpeed scores, live site links, verified Google reviews — is publicly verifiable before you commit.
What I Build — and What I Don't
Custom websites from scratch, redesigns of existing sites, and landing pages for specific campaigns. Three distinct briefs. One standard across all of them.
Every project is built on Next.js and hosted on Vercel — the same production-grade stack used by major global companies. Not a drag-and-drop website builder. Not a template with your logo swapped in.
What that means in practice: your site loads fast, Google can read every page cleanly, and the foundation never needs to be rebuilt when your business grows.
Next.js uses server-side rendering and static site generation — meaning when Google's crawler requests a page I've built, it receives complete, fully-formed HTML immediately. No JavaScript execution required, no second crawl pass. The result is a structural crawlability advantage built into how the site is constructed, not patched in after the fact.
PageSpeed Guarantee
Page speed is not a vanity metric — it is a revenue metric. Google's own research shows a one-second delay in load time reduces mobile conversions by up to 20%. The floor on every project I build is a 90+ PageSpeed score. Not a target. A guarantee. GDV Holdings — my flagship enterprise build — scored 100/100 on desktop. The guarantee is the floor, not the ceiling.
Getting someone to your page is only half the job. What they do when they arrive depends on how the page is designed — visual hierarchy that directs attention, content sequenced to build intent, and calls to action placed where visitors actually look. UI/UX and CRO principles aren't improvements suggested after launch. They are built into every project from the first design decision. The difference between a page that converts and one that doesn't isn't luck — it's structure.
The Return
A website that ranks and converts doesn't cost $2,500. It returns multiples of that, every month it's live, without you doing anything. The build is a one-time event. The returns are not.
GDV Holdings
GDV Holdings — a Philippine-born strategic investment holding company with global operations across six countries — launched their enterprise website with me. 14 distinct pages: investment strategy, governance frameworks, leadership and board structure, investor data room, and global market coverage across the Philippines, United States, Australia, United Kingdom, Singapore, and Indonesia.

* PageSpeed scores may fluctuate slightly between analyses.
That score doesn't come from choosing the right stack. It comes from treating every layer of the build — code, images, metadata, structure, hosting configuration — with the same standard. One weak link pulls every other metric down. There were none.
A studio that does everything does everything at average. I do one thing: websites built for real people that Google rewards for it. If your project needs a CRM backend, a custom e-commerce platform, or application development — I'll tell you directly. That's not what I built this for.
Right now, I'm focused on rebuilding BraneBox's own foundation before taking on more complex work. Keeping scope tight means every project gets the full standard — not a divided one.
That said, labels can be misleading. If your project sounds like e-commerce or a custom platform but is actually simpler than it sounds — reach out. I'll give you an honest answer.
The BraneBox Process — How a Project Actually Works
You know your business better than any writer ever could. I start there.
I start by sending you a form that saves automatically — fill it at your own pace. I need the complete picture before I start: every service, every page, every audience. What you submit becomes the foundation for everything that follows. The result is a site that sounds like you wrote it — because the thinking behind it is yours.
I research your competitors and your keywords. Then I share what I find.
Once I understand your business, I map your competitive landscape and identify the keywords your customers are actually searching. I share the findings with you before we go further — not as a courtesy, but because that intelligence belongs to you. You walk away with a clearer picture of your market regardless of what follows.
Your rough notes come back written to earn trust, move people, and rank on Google.
I run everything through a multi-layer content system built around how visitors actually read and decide — not just how search engines crawl. That means structuring for clarity before a visitor is halfway down the page, leading with what matters to them, building credibility where doubt tends to form, and writing with the kind of specificity that makes people feel understood rather than sold to. SEO optimization — intent alignment, depth, metadata — is layered on top of that. You don't have to think about either layer. The copy that reaches your visitors and the copy that reaches Google have both been worked.
I build your homepage live and send it to you for approval.
No mockups, no wireframes, no Figma files to interpret. I build your homepage as a working Next.js page on a staging URL — viewed in a real browser, exactly as your visitors will see it. The design follows your brand references and color palette. What you see on the staging URL is what your visitors will see. No surprises after launch.
Every image is made for your site. No stock photography, anywhere.
Every visual is created in-house, matched to your content and structure. No stock imagery shared across thousands of other sites. Google factors image uniqueness into how it evaluates pages — and your visitors notice the difference too. For Signature and Prestige projects, an AI cinematic brand video is produced and integrated directly into the site.
AI-generated brand imagery — created exclusively for this site
Every page goes live with rankings built in — not added on at the end.
Pages are built one at a time. Keywords are embedded from the opening sentence. Schema markup and metadata are completed after each page. Mobile spacing, legibility, and overflow are checked at every stage. You don't need to think about any of this. It is built in.
Full QA, your approval, then launch.
Before anything goes live, every page goes through a PageSpeed audit and a full mobile review. You review the complete, final site on Vercel — exactly as visitors will experience it. Nothing goes live without your sign-off. The final payment follows your approval — never the other way around.

Who Builds Your Website — and Why It Matters
I don't run an agency. There are no rotating freelancers, no junior designers handed your brief after the sales call, no account manager between you and the work. I handle every project personally — from first conversation to launch. There is no gap between the person who understands what you need and the person building it. That is a deliberate structural choice, not a limitation of scale.
I have been working in SEO since 2007. I ranked a personal website to #1 on Google and held that position for over 15 years through every major algorithm update — not through paid links or gaming, but through a structural understanding of how Google measures usefulness. That same understanding is the foundation of every project I build.
That foundation led to work with enterprise clients including AXA Singapore and Hexagon Metrology Japan. I served as Marketing Lead for the number one private tour guide company in Japan — building the Marketing Team from scratch, leading content and link building teams, earning backlinks from sites with Domain Authority 90 and above, and ranking new articles on Google Page 1 within weeks of publication.
My model — limited active projects, founder-led from first call to final handover — exists because quality at this level requires full attention. That limit is not a sales tactic. It is the structural consequence of doing this properly. Right now, a small number of project slots are open. When they fill, the next inquiry goes on a waitlist.

See everything included →What does ‘best web design Philippines’ actually mean?
Search for ‘best web design Philippines’ and you'll find agencies ranked by review volume, directory listings, and award badges — signals that tell you who markets well, not whose websites actually perform.
The only honest measure of a web design studio is what happens after the site launches — specifically, whether it ranks, whether the right people find it, and whether those people trust the business enough to take action.
Performance is verifiable. BraneBox itself scores 100 on Performance, Accessibility, Best Practices, and SEO on desktop. 94 on mobile performance. A score any visitor can verify with a single link, at any time, without taking our word for it.
Most web design agencies in the Philippines don't publish verifiable performance benchmarks. BraneBox does — because the numbers are there to be checked.
‘Best’ is not a badge. It is a PageSpeed score, a ranking, a client who receives inquiries through their website. That is the standard BraneBox is held to on every project.

Frequently Asked Questions
Because the quality ceiling is the same as anywhere else — but the cost structure isn't. A studio in New York or Singapore prices in office rent, sales teams, and account management layers. BraneBox prices in none of that. The budget reaches the work: Next.js build on Vercel, SEO from the first line of code, schema markup, content optimisation, original brand imagery, and professional email setup — handled personally by Kenzo Kobayashi, who has served enterprise clients including AXA Singapore and Hexagon Metrology Japan. GDV Holdings scored 100/100 on PageSpeed. That is the standard.
$2,500 for Essential (up to 5 pages), $4,500 for Signature (up to 10 pages), and from $7,000 for Prestige (up to 15 pages). Every plan includes SEO built in, a 90+ PageSpeed guarantee, original brand imagery, professional email setup, and a free domain for the first year — items most studios charge separately for. Pricing is fixed and published here. No quote form. No discovery call required to see a number. Payment is 50% to begin, 50% on completion. You own everything on final payment.
Anywhere from $300 with a freelancer to $30,000+ with a large agency. The $300 site is usually a template with no SEO and no support when something breaks. The $30,000 quote often funds a building, a sales team, and three layers of management before work begins. BraneBox charges $2,500–$7,000+. Every dollar reaches the founder who builds the site — no account managers, no juniors, no overhead you didn't need to fund.
Yes — and both kinds matter. On-page SEO tells Google what your pages are about: content structure, keywords, metadata, and schema markup. Technical SEO tells Google whether your pages are worth serving: site speed, crawlability, and build quality. BraneBox builds both in from day one. Every project scores 90+ on PageSpeed — Google's own measure of technical quality. Higher scores earn faster rankings, which means more visitors, more enquiries, and more revenue. Most agencies add SEO after the design is done. By then, it's already a compromise.
Essential projects complete in 2–3 weeks. Signature in 3–4. Prestige in 4–6. For context, most agencies spend the first two to three weeks on proposals and discovery before work begins. The main variable is content — the sooner materials arrive, the sooner the site launches and starts doing the work you hired it to do. Slots are limited. If the timing is right, starting now means a live site in weeks, not months.
The concern is paying for something that doesn't deliver. BraneBox is structured around that. Fixed pricing in USD — no currency risk, no surprise invoices. 50% deposit to begin, 50% on completion before handover — you cannot overpay for work that isn't done. Full asset ownership on final payment — code, domain, hosting, everything transfers unconditionally. Every proof point — PageSpeed scores, live site links, Google reviews — is publicly verifiable before you spend a dollar.
Location doesn't determine quality. A designer two blocks away with no verifiable track record delivers less than a studio on the other side of the world with public proof. BraneBox is based in the Philippines and works with clients across the United States, Singapore, Japan, and Europe. The output is checkable before you commit: live PageSpeed scores, live site links, and verified Google reviews. The question isn't where. It's whether the work holds up.
Yes — and that's not a burden, it's an advantage. You know your business, your clients, and what makes you different far better than any outside writer working from a brief. Send it in any form: rough notes, bullet points, a voice memo recorded at 11pm. BraneBox restructures it for SEO, expands it for depth, refines it for clarity, and writes all metadata from scratch. What arrives as rough thinking publishes as a polished, ranking page.
Every plan includes a free post-launch retainer: one month on Essential, three on Signature, six on Prestige. Any bugs or technical issues during that window are resolved at no cost. After the included period, an optional monthly retainer covers hosting, uptime monitoring, security updates, and minor edits — on your terms, not a contract. On full payment, everything transfers unconditionally: code, domain, GitHub access, hosting. You own it outright.
Choose a plan and pay the 50% deposit. You'll then receive a project questionnaire covering your business, customers, and what makes you worth choosing — the foundation everything gets built from. Once submitted, Kenzo reviews it personally and work begins. No proposal process. No waiting on a quote. Slots are limited to the number of projects that receive full attention. Essential projects are live in two to three weeks from the day materials arrive.
The Next Step
You've spent years building something worth representing.
Rated 4.9 / 5 by 9 clients — AXA Singapore, GDV Holdings, and others.
Your website is the first thing a potential client, investor, or partner sees when they decide whether to take the next step. While you are reading this, someone searching for what you offer just landed on a competitor's site, saw something they trusted, and moved forward. Your website either earns that trust or it doesn't. I build the version that does.
A well-built site doesn't just bring traffic — it brings better traffic that arrives pre-sold. People who found you on Google, read your content, and decided you were credible before they ever made contact. That shortens your sales cycle and improves close rates.
You've seen what the work looks like. You know what it costs and who builds it. The only question left is timing. Every project is handled personally — that limits how many I take. A small number of slots are open now. When they fill, the next inquiry goes on a waitlist.
