Web Design · Charleston, SC
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 build in two stages: a working first version live in about a week, and the full site finished over the four to eight weeks after that.
Free first step
Send the URL. Within one to two business days you'll get a short video walkthrough plus a written PDF — what's working, what's costing you leads, and what we'd change first. No call required, no obligation. If you decide to engage after that, the review counts as the diagnostic step on a real project.
Checklist · what’s included
No item on this list is optional. These are the eleven things a small-business site needs to work in 2026 — and the things most template builds skip.
Pricing
One-time project
$6,000 – $20,000 per project
A full build for a small-business site usually lands between $6K and $20K. The spread is mostly page count and custom work. A clean 5-page site is the low end. Fifteen or more pages with custom booking flows or integrations is the high end. Most projects are paid across the work rather than upfront, so the payments line up with what is getting built. Longer commitments (quarterly, semi-annual, annual) cost less than month-to-month. Every project is priced in writing before it starts, so the number is never a surprise.
How to pick
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.

FAQ
Next steps
Send the URL and a sentence about where you’re stuck. You get a short written answer, usually within one business day. If it looks like a fit, we book a 30 minute call to go through what it would cost and in what order.
A site that does not convert still costs you the traffic you already pay for. The visitors arrive either way. They just leave without calling.
