THE PAGE
BUILDER PROBLEM

Wix and Squarespace will build you a website. So will WordPress, with enough plugins. What they won't do is give you a site that loads under a second, passes Core Web Vitals and can be updated the day you need it done.

Page builders are quick to set up and slow to adapt. You can publish your first version in an afternoon. But when you need a new service page live before Monday's campaign, or your developer needs to add functionality the template doesn't support, you're filing a ticket and waiting.

Website buried under plugin blocks and tangled cables

WHAT WE
BUILD

Every site we build runs on Next.js. Pages load under a second. There are no plugins to update, no themes to manage, no security vulnerabilities carried over from an outdated extension someone installed in 2019.

Every build includes the same foundations. Nothing is an upsell.

  • Mobile-first design, responsive from 320px up
  • Core Web Vitals compliance from launch day
  • Schema markup and SEO architecture built into the spec
  • Custom illustrations built around your brand identity
  • Clean, maintainable codebase any developer can read

HOW LONG
IT TAKES

Most small business websites go from brief to launch in two to three weeks. That includes discovery, design, development, testing and launch.

Twelve weeks is what happens when the development queue is backed up and no one owns the timeline. We run on a different schedule.

WHAT IT
COSTS

Our small business websites start at $4,500. That covers design, development, SEO setup and one round of revisions post-launch.

Mobile responsiveness, schema markup and a clean sitemap are in every build.

COMMON
QUESTIONS

How much does a website designer cost for a small business?
Custom websites for small businesses typically run $3,000 to $15,000 depending on scope. Page builders come in lower but trade performance, flexibility and long-term extensibility to get there. Our builds start at $4,500 and include everything needed to rank and convert from day one.
How long does it take to build a website for a small business?
Two to three weeks from brief to launch. Discovery is one 60-minute call. Design and development run in the same workflow, and you get one round of revisions before we push live.
What makes Next.js better than WordPress for a small business website?
WordPress generates pages on each request: PHP runs, the database is queried, the HTML is assembled. Next.js generates static pages at build time. A Next.js site typically loads in 0.3 to 0.5 seconds. A comparable WordPress setup runs 1.5 to 3 seconds. For businesses competing in organic search, those numbers show up directly in Core Web Vitals scores and rankings.
Do I need a custom website or can I use a website builder?
If you need a simple information page and aren't competing for search traffic, a page builder is fine. If you need organic traffic, fast load times and the ability to build new pages quickly as the business grows, a custom Next.js build will outperform any template.
