Who this is for
Small business website design works best for owners who care about how their business looks online but don't want to become a developer to maintain it. If your customers find you through search, referrals, or word of mouth — this is built for you.
Solo operators
Coaches, photographers, contractors, consultants — one person, one calendar, and a website that takes them seriously.
Local service businesses
Lawn care, cleaning, HVAC, plumbing, mobile repair — anywhere "near me" matters and a phone call is the goal.
Storefronts
Restaurants, cafés, boutiques, salons, studios — anywhere walk-in traffic and "directions to ___" actually matter.
Owners replacing an outdated site
Built years ago by a developer who disappeared, or stuck on a slow platform. Time for something that loads, looks current, and is yours.
Brand-new businesses
Just opened. Need a real website, a real domain, a real email — not a Linktree, a Facebook page, or a "site coming soon" message.
Side hustlers going pro
The side gig is making real money. Time to graduate from Etsy or Instagram bios to something customers can trust.
What's included
Every site is built on the same baseline — the things real customers actually need from a small business website. No bloated builders, no "starter templates" you'll outgrow.
Mobile-first design
Built for a phone first, then scaled up to desktop. Most of your customers are visiting from their phone — we design accordingly.
Fast-loading pages
Optimized images, lazy loading, no overweight builders. Pages open before visitors lose patience or bounce.
Clear contact buttons
Call, text, email, quote-request — placed where people actually look for them. Tracked so you can see where leads come from.
Baseline SEO
Page titles, meta descriptions, schema markup, sitemap, robots.txt — the foundation Google needs.
Google Maps integration
Hours, address, directions, embedded map — everything a foot-traffic or local-service customer needs at a glance.
Help with updates
Need a page changed, photo swapped, holiday hours updated? You text Topher. Monthly maintenance plans keep it current.

Why a real website still matters
"Social media is enough" is the most expensive mistake small businesses make. Social platforms own your audience, change the rules every quarter, and can shut your reach off overnight. A website is the one thing you actually own.
When a new customer hears about you — from a friend, an ad, a sign, a Google search — the first thing they do is look you up. If they land on a slow, broken, or outdated site, they bounce. If they land on a Linktree or a half-finished Wix page, they question whether you're still in business.
A real website does three jobs at once: it answers the questions every customer asks, it builds trust without you in the room, and it gives Google something concrete to rank for "near me" and "best ___" searches.
Done right, the cost of the site is paid back by the first one or two customers it earns. After that, every customer it earns is profit.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a small business website cost?
Starter setups begin around $400 and full small-business websites typically start at $900. Final price depends on number of pages, photos, and features. See the pricing page for the full breakdown.
How long does it take to build?
Most small business projects are live within 5–10 business days once we have your copy and photos. Larger projects with custom features can take 2–3 weeks. We don't run on agency timelines.
Will I own my website?
Yes. You own your domain, your hosting, your files, and your content. There's no proprietary platform lock-in. If you ever stop working with us, the site keeps running.
Do I need to be in Hot Springs?
No. We're based in Hot Springs, AR and serve nearby Arkansas towns in person — but most of the work is remote-friendly. Clients across the U.S. are welcome.
Can you redesign my existing website?
