A custom-designed website for a small business, built by a studio instead of a template. Designed around your customers, structured so search engines can actually rank you, and priced so the decision takes one conversation. Setup starts around $100 and most sites are live inside two weeks.
A template site makes your business look like every other business that bought the template. Custom design starts from the opposite end: what do your customers need to see to pick up the phone, and what does Google need to see to show you to them in the first place. Those are design decisions, not decoration.
The structural part matters more than most owners expect. A site that ranks locally needs real service pages, city pages where they make sense, fast load times, and headings that match what people type into a search bar. Builders like Wix and Squarespace can hold that structure, but nobody sets it up for you, and an agency that will do it charges thousands. We do the whole thing, structure and design, for a price a small business signs off on without a board meeting.
Design is the part you feel. Crisp type, honest photos, one clear action on every screen. No sliders, no stock-photo handshakes, no walls of adjectives. A visitor should know what you do, where you do it, and what it costs to find out more, all inside the first screen.
An example scope, not a menu. Yours gets quoted flat before any work starts, and the number does not move afterward.
All three can produce a website. Here is the honest difference, so you can rule us out quickly if we are the wrong fit.

Describe your business and what the current site is failing to do. You get a flat quote and an honest read on whether a redesign is even worth it.
Setup starts around $100 for a focused site and most builds stay under $1,000 even with heavy customization. After launch it is $20 a month for hosting, SSL, backups, and small edits. You get the exact figure in writing before we start, and it does not move.
Yes, and it is often the fastest kind of project. We keep what works, usually your content and your domain, and rebuild the design and structure around it. Redesigns are quoted the same way as new builds: flat, in writing, up front.
We build the structure that ranking requires: correct titles and headings, service pages, fast load times, a sitemap, and a properly configured Google Business profile. Nobody honest guarantees a position, but most of our clients are competing against template sites that skipped all of that, and structure wins those matchups.
We build with AI and we keep the process short. The work an agency staffs with a project manager, a designer, and a developer over eight weeks, we do in days with one small team reviewing everything. The savings come from how the work gets done, not from cutting your scope.
Yes. The design, the content, and the domain are yours. If you ever leave, you take all of it with you. The monthly fee covers hosting and upkeep, not a lease on your own site.
