Services:
Web design & development
Your website is often the first thing a potential online customer sees — and in about three seconds they’ve already decided whether to trust you or move on.
If your site is outdated, slow, or doesn’t reflect the quality of what you actually do, you’re losing customers before you’ve had a chance to say a word. Our small business website design service can help.
How does the web design process work?
Before a single design decision is made, we work with you to understand your business, your customers, and the language that makes your brand sound like you. That conversation shapes everything that follows. We establish the right foundation, make the key decisions, and build the site in stages with regular check-ins so nothing comes as a surprise.
When we go live, we don’t disappear. We track what’s working, adjust what isn’t, and if you’re working with us on ongoing content, the collaboration simply continues as long as you need it to.

- A discovery conversation to understand your business, your customers, and your goals
- Domain and hosting guidance — we help you set up the right foundation from the start
- A custom design built around your existing brand identity
- Mobile-friendly build — your site will look great on every device
- Basic SEO setup — page titles, descriptions, image optimization, and site structure
- A contact form and clear calls to action so visitors know what to do next
- A post-launch review plus weekly check-ins for the first month and a three-month follow-up — because we don’t disappear when the site goes live
Optional add-ons:
- Brand identity development if you need a new visual identify created including logo and color palette

Web design case study
Tracey Bartmann-Leek is one of St. Louis’s most awarded wedding and family photographers. Her website wasn’t keeping up with her professional stature.
We redesigned the Love and Life Photography site from the ground up — modernizing the visual experience, showcasing her award-winning portfolio properly, and creating a site that finally matched the quality of her work.
Questions and answers
-
Are there any hidden costs?
No. Before any work begins we’ll give you a clear, itemized quote that covers everything included in your project. If something comes up during the build that changes the scope, we’ll discuss it with you before proceeding. No surprises.
-
What about hosting and domain registration?
These are separate costs paid directly to your hosting and domain providers — typically $150-$300 per year depending on your choices. We’ll guide you through setting up your own accounts with those providers so you’re always in control. You pay them directly — no markup, no commission.
More importantly, because the accounts are in your name, you own your website and domain outright. If you ever need to make changes independently, or if our working relationship changes for any reason, you’ll always have full access and control. We think that’s the way it should be. -
Why aren’t the add-ons included in every package?
Simply because not every business needs them. If you already have a strong brand identity, charging you to create one doesn’t make sense. If you’re comfortable managing your own updates, you don’t need training. We’d rather build a package around what your business actually needs than charge everyone for things only some people use.
