Most small-business websites look fine and still don't bring in work. Usually it's the messaging, the trust signals, or the way the page asks for the call. We figure out what's broken first, then rebuild the pages that actually move revenue.
Checklist · what’s included
No item on this list is optional. These are the ten things a small-business site needs to work in 2026 — and the things most template builds skip.
Pricing · tiers
Ranges below are typical for a business your size. We quote the exact number after a 30-minute call and a written scope.
$6,000
Owners who need the front door fixed before a full site. Messaging, proof, and the first conversion path done right.
Most common
$10,000 – $14,000
Five to seven pages that cover how buyers actually evaluate you. The right fit for most service businesses we work with.
$16,000 – $20,000+
Ten or more pages, location scaling, and a content architecture you can actually grow into. For businesses with real SEO ambition.
How to pick · worksheet
Five things that matter more than the portfolio.
Layouts are the easy part. Ask to see the copy they wrote, not just pretty screenshots. If the homepage doesn't make you understand what the business does in three seconds, the design didn't do its job.
If the designer outsources copy or leaves it entirely to you, you'll end up with a great-looking site that says nothing. The best builds have one person thinking about both sides.
Who decides whether the contact form is working? What gets measured? If the answer is 'the client tracks that,' the designer isn't actually helping you grow.
Domain, hosting, code, accounts — all of it. If they keep the keys, you're locked in. Real pros hand it all over on day one.
Most sites rot. Who patches plugins? Who updates content when your pricing or team changes? If there's no plan, you'll be here again in 18 months.
