Small Business Websites
Small business website design
A small business website has a few jobs: show up when people nearby search for what you do, answer their first questions, and make it easy to call, book or buy. I design and build that site myself, for one fixed price, and you deal with me from the first call to launch.

What's included
Every small business site includes
The core pages
Home, services, about, contact, and a page for each main service, plus anything your business needs, like a menu, price list or portfolio.
Built for phones first
Most local searches happen on a phone, so every page is laid out and tested there first.
Local SEO basics
Your name, address and phone matched to your Google Business Profile, local schema, and a sitemap sent to Search Console.
Forms that reach you
Contact, quote or booking forms that send straight to your inbox, tested before launch.
Analytics
Google Analytics and Search Console set up, so you can see where visitors come from and which pages bring in inquiries.
Fast pages
Compressed images and light code, so pages load quickly on a phone connection.
Optional add-on
Add an AI assistant to your new site
A better site brings in more inquiries. An AI add-on makes sure none of them wait. I build it alongside your site, so it launches with everything else.
AI website chatbot
Answers visitor questions from your site’s content around the clock, and captures the lead when they’re ready to talk.
AI receptionist
Answers your phone, books appointments, and takes messages when nobody can pick up.
Instant lead follow-up
Replies to every contact form within seconds, asks your qualifying questions, and books a call.

FAQ
Questions buyers ask
How much does a small business website cost?
My custom small business sites start at $5,000. Builders like Squarespace and Wix cost less in cash, about $18 to $160 a month billed yearly, but you do the design and writing yourself. See how much a website costs for the full comparison.
How long does it take to build a small business website?
Usually about 6 to 12 weeks: around 2–4 weeks of design and 4–8 weeks of building. A smaller site with quick feedback can be faster.
Can I update the website myself?
Yes. Before launch I set up the editor and walk you through changing text, photos, hours and prices. If you’d rather not, the maintenance plan covers up to an hour of edits a month.
Do I need a custom site, or is a builder enough?
A builder is fine for a simple site you have time to set up yourself. A custom site makes sense when the site has to bring in business on its own, through search or ads, and you want it built around how your customers decide.
Who pays for hosting and the domain?
You do, and they stay in your name. I set them up with you, so you own the accounts and can move them later. The cost depends on the platform: static hosting can be free, WordPress needs paid hosting, and builders and Shopify charge a monthly plan.
Do you only work with Los Angeles businesses?
No. I’m based in Los Angeles and build sites for small businesses anywhere in the US, over video calls and shared design files.
