Who can build a website for my small business?

You have four choices: build it yourself on a site builder like Wix or Squarespace, hire a freelancer, hire a local web design agency, or pay a service that builds it and keeps it working for you. What matters most is who owns it, whether it's built to get found on Google, and who keeps it current.

Building one usually costs $500 to $8,000, then $600 to $5,000 a year to keep it running. Before you hire anyone, ask five things. Will I own the website and the domain? Is it built to show up on Google, Google Maps and AI answers, not only to look nice? Can customers call me with one tap on a phone? Who updates it when my services or prices change? What happens to it if I stop paying?

For example, a plumber who searches "website designer near me" and picks the cheapest option can end up with a nice looking page that nobody finds, because nobody built the pages for each service and town that Google needs to see.

We design the website, write it so Google and AI can find and quote it, and keep it tuned, all for one monthly price. Your domain is yours from day one, and the site is yours after your first year.
