Web Design for Small Businesses in Western NC

Your website should bring in customers, not just look pretty. We build sites that load fast, work on mobile, and actually help people find what they're looking for.

Most Small Business Websites Have the Same Problem

A dog breeder in Waynesville came to me last year. She had a website. It was fine. Nice photos. Decent layout. But she wasn't getting the inquiries she expected.

The problem? Her site was built for people who already knew her name. If you searched "aussiedoodle breeder in North Carolina," she didn't show up. If you found her site on mobile, the contact form was buried three scrolls down. And the site took six seconds to load on anything slower than fiber internet.

We rebuilt her site from scratch. Put what families actually search for right at the top. Made the contact form impossible to miss. Cut the load time in half. Now she's getting inquiries from families across the Southeast who never would have found her before.

A good-looking website that nobody finds is just an expensive business card. We build sites that work as hard as you do.

What Actually Makes a Website Work

Templates are easy. You can spin one up in an afternoon. But a template doesn't know your customers. It doesn't know what they're searching for or what questions they have before they buy.

Here's what we focus on:

  • Mobile first. Over 70% of your visitors are on their phones. If your site is clunky on mobile, they leave. We design for phones first, then scale up.
  • Speed matters. Internet in the mountains isn't always fast. A site that takes forever to load loses visitors before they see anything. We optimize images, code, and hosting to keep things quick.
  • Built for search. Every page answers a question someone is actually typing into Google. That's how you get found. We do the keyword research before we write a single line of copy.
  • Clear paths to action. Visitors should know exactly what to do next. Call you. Fill out a form. Book an appointment. We make it obvious.

This is where SEO and web design overlap. A beautiful site that doesn't rank is a waste. We build both together from the start.

We Find the Gaps Your Competitors Miss

Before we build anything, we dig into what people in your industry are searching for. More importantly, we find what they're searching that nobody is answering well.

Maybe every HVAC company in Asheville has a page about AC repair, but nobody has a good page about ductless mini-splits. That's a gap. We fill it with a page that ranks fast because there's no competition.

This is how newer businesses compete with established ones. You don't have to outspend them. You just have to be smarter about what you're targeting.

How It Works

1

Free Consultation

We meet over coffee or a call to learn about your business, your customers, and what you want your website to do. No sales pitch. Just a conversation about where you are and where you want to be.

2

Research & Proposal

We dig into your industry, your competitors, and what people are actually searching for. Then we put together a clear proposal with exactly what we'll build, what it costs, and how long it takes.

3

Design & Build

We create your site with regular check-ins so you can see progress and give feedback. No disappearing for weeks and coming back with something you hate.

4

Launch & Train

Once you're happy, we launch. Then we train you on how to make basic updates yourself. You're never stuck waiting on us to change your phone number.

Beyond the Build

A website is just the foundation. To really grow, you need people to find it. That's why many of our web design clients also use our SEO services to rank higher on Google.

If you're selling products, we also build e-commerce stores on Shopify, WooCommerce, and Squarespace.

And if you don't want to worry about updates, backups, and security, our website maintenance plans take that off your plate.

No Contracts. No Lock-In.

We don't do long-term contracts. You work with us because you want to, not because you're stuck. If we're not delivering value, you can walk away anytime.

That's how confident we are in what we do.

Common Questions

How long does it take to build a website?
Most small business websites take 4-8 weeks from kickoff to launch. A simple 5-page site is faster. A 20-page site with e-commerce takes longer. We'll give you a realistic timeline in our proposal.
Can I update the site myself?
Yes. We build on platforms like WordPress and Squarespace that let you make basic changes without calling us. We'll train you on everything you need to know.
Will my website work on phones?
Every site we build is mobile-responsive. Over 70% of web traffic comes from phones, and Google penalizes sites that don't work well on mobile. This isn't optional for us.
What if something breaks after launch?
We offer maintenance plans that include security monitoring, updates, backups, and priority support. For clients not on a plan, we're still available for fixes at hourly rates.
Do you work with existing websites?
Sometimes a full rebuild is the right call. Sometimes it's not. We'll look at what you have and give you an honest recommendation.
How much does a website cost?
It depends on what you need. Simple brochure sites are different from complex booking systems or e-commerce stores. We'll give you a clear quote after our consultation so there are no surprises.
