Small business web design that loads fast and gets found.

We build for small businesses that need their website to win customers: trades, clinics, professional services firms and local retailers. Most of our clients are in the US and Canada, with others in the Gulf and Europe. Some arrive with a dated site that is slow on a phone, some with a template that has grown into a tangle of plugins, and some with no site at all.

The brief is the same each time: be found in Google and in AI answers, explain the offer in seconds, and make getting in touch easy. If your profession has its own advertising rules, you confirm that the copy meets them, since we do not check profession-specific rules. Still deciding whether you need a studio at all? Our website builder vs web designer comparison sets out where each one wins.

Every package, Starter included, ships with these foundations.

• A mobile-first design, reviewed as live pages on your phone and desktop
• Your approval of every page before it goes live
• A page title and meta description written for each page, and internal links between related pages
• Schema markup that tells search engines and AI assistants who you are and what you sell
• A contact form that sends inquiries to an inbox you own
• Analytics, Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools, set up and verified at launch
• An AI crawler access check at launch, so ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google's AI features can read your pages
• Self-hosted fonts, small modern image files (AVIF and WebP) and close to zero JavaScript
• Built to show the main content in under two seconds on a mid-range phone over 4G (Google calls this largest contentful paint, or LCP)
• A target of 95 or higher on Google's Lighthouse mobile performance test, which scores speed out of 100
• Permanent redirects from your old URLs if we are replacing a site

Growth and Scale go further on every page. They get full schema stacks, a set of schema types on each page such as business, service, FAQ and breadcrumbs, in place of basic schema. They also get FAQ blocks and Quick Facts blocks written so AI answers can quote them.

Starter covers up to 12 pages, and Growth and Scale are sized by keyword research. The prices below are starting prices, and your written scope sets the final fixed price. Our website package prices page compares the three side by side, and here is what each one is for.

Starter, from $2,499

Starter is for a business with a focused offer and a short list of services. It covers up to 12 pages: home, about, contact, up to six service pages, a pricing page and an FAQ page. Legal pages such as privacy and terms do not count toward the 12.

Every page is speed-tuned and carries basic schema, a written title and description, analytics, Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools, and the contact form is wired to your inbox. After launch you get 30 days of support. Starter suits a local business with a tighter budget, and it uses the same static HTML as Growth, so adding pages later builds on what you already have.

Growth, from $5,499

Growth includes the full SEO foundation: schema stacks on every page, Quick Facts and FAQ blocks, comparison pages for the alternatives your buyers weigh, and a blog ready for articles from launch day. The page count comes from the keyword map, typically 25 to 50 pages at launch, and those pages are inside the package price.

Every page follows the conversion spine, a set order of headline, proof, detail and call to action that leads a visitor toward getting in touch. You get 60 days of support after launch. Growth fits a business competing with several firms for the same searches.

Scale, from $9,999

Scale is everything in Growth plus the work that helps a new site climb once it is live. We write your first 12 articles, chosen from the keyword map to answer the questions buyers ask before they pick a provider. We also build a lead magnet or a calculator, such as a cost estimator or a checklist download, that gives visitors a reason to get in touch.

You get the same 60 days of support as Growth, plus 90 days of SEO work after launch. That work starts from a baseline of your rankings and AI visibility, with a plain-language report each month during those 90 days. Scale suits a business that wants to compete for its main service terms in a crowded market.

Anything outside a package, such as e-commerce, integrations with your other software or custom features, is quoted in writing before work starts.

Many small-business sites assemble each page when someone asks for it. The server runs code and queries a database, then the browser downloads scripts to finish the page. On a phone over a mobile connection, that waiting is what makes people leave.

A static HTML site skips those steps. Each page is built once, ahead of time, and stored as a finished file, so the server hands it over straight away. For new marketing sites we use a static site generator, a tool that turns our source files into plain HTML and sends almost no JavaScript to the browser. When you want to edit the site yourself, we build in WordPress instead.

The same property matters for AI search. Crawlers such as OAI-SearchBot for ChatGPT search and PerplexityBot read the HTML they receive, and a crawler that does not run JavaScript never sees content that scripts add later. On a static page, every heading, price and answer is already in the file.

Our guide to how WordPress, Next.js and static site tools compare weighs this against other ways of building a site. Our AEO and GEO service (answer engine and generative engine optimization, the work of getting quoted in AI answers) covers the rest of what AI assistants look for.

On Growth and Scale there is no page cap. We build every page your customers search for, inside the package price. Starter keeps its 12-page cap so the entry price stays low.

Before design starts we research the keywords your customers use, check who ranks for them today and build a page map. You approve that map before anything is designed. The scope rule is simple: a page counts when the keyword map shows demand for it.

If people search for a service you offer, it gets its own page. If nobody searches for a topic, we do not build a page to pad the count, and we show you the data behind that call. Because the keyword map sets the page count inside the package price, you are not charged per page.

If you already have a website, we start by listing every URL it has today. Each old address is mapped to the closest page on the new site, and we set up permanent redirects so links from other sites, bookmarks and search results keep landing somewhere useful.

The redirects are tested on a staging site before launch, along with the schema, the form and analytics. Content worth keeping is carried over and tightened, and pages that no longer fit redirect to the nearest relevant page. After launch we verify indexing in Search Console, so the links and search listings your old site earned point to the right new page.

Once the final payment is made, the site is yours: its design, its content and the full source repository, which we hand over on request. Your domain is always registered in your name. On a care plan we host the site on our account, and if you cancel, with 30 days' notice, we move it to your own hosting at no charge.

The care plan starts at $150 a month and covers hosting, updates, backups, uptime and speed monitoring, and up to 1 hour of small edits a month, such as changing a price, swapping a photo or updating your opening hours. You send edits by email and we make them within 2 business days. Unused time does not roll over, and the plan has no minimum term.

A plain-language report each month covers uptime, speed and backups. Larger changes, like new sections or new pages, are quoted in writing before we start. The plan costs more than $150 for larger sites, such as Scale, or for more edit time, as set in your written scope. You pay your own domain renewal, and outside a care plan you can host the site yourself on any static host.

Every website project runs in four steps, and you approve the work at each one.

1. 01

   Research. We map the searches your market makes, and you approve the page map before design starts.

2. 02

   Content then design. We write the copy, then design around it, and you review each page as a live page on your phone and desktop.

3. 03

   Build. The site is built on a private staging address and tested against a written performance budget, along with the schema, the form and analytics.

4. 04

   Launch and grow. You approve every page before it goes live, and the launch checklist covers redirects, Search Console, Bing Webmaster Tools and an AI crawler check.

Our how we work page covers each step and what we need from you.
