Website Design for Small Business

Your website should be your best salesperson. Is it?

Most small business websites look fine but generate nothing. I build sites that load fast, rank on Google, and turn visitors into customers. First designs in 2 weeks. You own everything.

Problems I solve every day

Sound familiar?

“My website is embarrassing and I know it's costing me customers”

If you cringe when someone asks for your website, that feeling is costing you real money. Here's how I'll fix it:

  • Build a site that looks as professional as the work you actually do
  • Design every page to guide visitors toward contacting you
  • Make it load fast on every device, especially phones
  • Include real proof (reviews, results, photos) that builds trust instantly

“I have a website but it doesn't bring me any business”

A website that doesn't generate leads is just an online brochure. Here's how I turn it into your best salesperson:

  • Study what your top competitors do right and build you something better
  • Write copy that speaks to what your customers actually care about
  • Add clear calls to action so visitors know exactly what to do next
  • Set up tracking so you can see exactly how many leads your site generates

“My last web designer disappeared and now I'm stuck”

This happens more than you'd think. Designers vanish, agencies close, and you're left with a site you can't update. Here's my approach:

  • You own everything: the code, the design, the domain, the hosting
  • I train you to make basic updates yourself
  • 90 days of post-launch support included, no extra charge
  • If you ever want to work with someone else, you take it all with you

Before you hire anyone

How to tell if a web designer will waste your money

Google scores every website on speed, mobile experience, and code quality. It's public. The tool is called PageSpeed Insights, and you can run it on any website in 10 seconds. Here's a free trick: run it on your web designer's own site. That site is their best work. They've had unlimited time and zero client constraints. If their own website scores poorly, yours will be worse. Also:

No results, just "pretty"

Ask them: "How many leads did your last client's website generate?" If they can't answer, they build decorations, not businesses.

They don't ask about your customers

A designer who jumps straight to colors and fonts without asking who your customers are is building a portfolio piece, not a business tool.

They own your website, not you

If you can't take your site and leave whenever you want, you're renting, not buying. Ask who owns the code, the domain, and the hosting account.

Who you're hiring

Why should you trust me?

Google did.

I didn't learn SEO from a blog. I worked with Google directly. They featured me on their Google Activate program all over Europe. If Google trusted me to represent them, you can trust me to rank you on them.

Don't take my word for it

Here's what other small business owners say

Here's exactly what you get

Every website I build does these 7 things

I study what's working for your competitors, then build you something better.

Use what's working for others

A website better than your top competitor

I look at who's winning in your market and figure out why. Then I take what works and make yours better. No guessing.

Make it fast

Your site loads before they can blink

Slow websites lose customers. People won't wait. If your competitor's site loads faster, they get the sale.

Design to sell

Visitors know exactly what to do next

A pretty website that doesn't bring customers is just an expensive business card. Every button, every section guides people to contact you.

Phone-first

Looks great on every phone and tablet

Most people will find you on their phone. If your site is hard to use with a thumb, they'll call your competitor instead.

Built for Google

Shows up when people search

Your website should bring you customers, not just exist. I build sites that Google wants to show people.

Build trust fast

Reviews and proof where people need to see them

People buy from businesses they trust. I put your best reviews and credentials exactly where visitors are deciding whether to call you.

Triple guarantee

Performance, ownership, and timeline locked in

Your site loads in under 3 seconds or I keep optimizing until it does. You own everything (code, design, content, domain). First designs in 2 weeks, launched on schedule. Three guarantees, no excuses.

Your site, your rules

I build on whatever platform makes sense for your business

WordPress, Shopify, custom JavaScript, headless CMS, static sites: the right choice depends on what your business actually needs, not what your developer prefers to build.

Need an online store? Shopify or WooCommerce. Content-heavy site that needs to rank? WordPress or Astro. Complex web app? React or Next.js. I'll recommend the platform that fits your budget, your team's comfort level, and your growth plans.

You should never feel locked into a platform because your developer only knows one.

How much do the best websites cost and what's included?

You can get a website for $500. You can also get a suit for $50. Both technically exist but the difference is noticeable. I build websites that load faster, rank higher, and convert better. And I can show you the proof. That's what you're paying for.

No hidden fees. No surprise charges. The quoted price is the final price.

Most small business websites land between $5,000 and $15,000. The price depends on how many cities and services you need pages for. My largest project was $27,700 for a multi-language e-commerce site with over 1,000 products. Your quote is based on your actual scope. Nothing more.

The design, the code, the content, the domain, the hosting account. If you ever want to leave, you take it all with you. No hostage situations.

Web Design FAQs

Quick answers to help you decide.

LOOK LEGIT is $4,700 for a 7-10 page site targeting your primary city. START SELLING is $11,200 for 25+ pages covering multiple cities. Both include professional copywriting, mobile-first design, technical SEO, analytics, and 90 days of support. No hidden fees, no surprise charges.

LOOK LEGIT launches in 4 weeks (first designs in 2 weeks). START SELLING launches in 6 weeks (first designs in 2 weeks). I hit deadlines because I respect your time.

Every website I build is mobile-first, meaning I design for phones and tablets first, then scale up to desktop. With over 60% of web traffic coming from mobile devices, this ensures the best experience for all visitors.

I build custom websites tailored to your business goals. While I use modern frameworks for performance and security, the design, content structure, and functionality are created specifically for you. Not pulled from a template library.

Yes. The design, the code, the content, the domain, the hosting account. Everything is yours. If you ever want to work with someone else, you take it all with you. No licensing fees, no dependencies, no hostage situations.

You get 90 days of post-launch support: bug fixes, small tweaks, questions answered. I also include a live training session (with recording) so you can make basic updates yourself. After 90 days, optional maintenance plans start at $150/month.

A $1,500 site gives you a template that 10,000 other businesses use, placeholder text you write yourself, and 30 days of support if you are lucky. My sites include professional copywriting, mobile-first design, technical SEO, analytics, 90 days of support, and training. The $1,500 site costs more in lost customers than the price difference.
