What a small-business site has to do
Three jobs. Everything else is decoration.
1
Be found
Show up when someone in Richmond searches for what you do: fast pages, clean structure, Google Business Profile wired in, and the local signals search engines look for.
2
Build trust in ten seconds
A clear headline, real photos, what you do and who you do it for, reviews, and a phone number that works. Visitors decide fast; the page has to help them.
3
Make contact easy
Click-to-call on phones, a short form that goes to the right inbox, online booking where it fits, and a thank-you page so you can measure what works.
Free website review
Not sure if your current site is working for you?
Most small-business sites we look at share the same handful of problems, and the owner is usually the last to know because they never visit their own site from a phone. Send us the address and we’ll check it against the list on the right and send you a short, plain-English report. No charge, no obligation.
- Takes more than three seconds to load on a phone
- Security certificate expired, or the browser shows “Not secure”
- The contact form sends to an inbox nobody checks, or nowhere at all
- Built on a template nobody at the business can edit
- Phone number isn’t tappable on mobile
- Hours, staff or services on the site are out of date
- Not connected to your Google Business Profile
- No backups, and no one knows where the hosting login is
What’s included
Everything from the first sketch to the care plan.
Design
A homepage design you approve before anything is built, then every inner page in the same system. Your logo and colors, or a fresh look if you need one.
WordPress build
Built on WordPress with editable blocks, so you can change a price, swap a photo or add a page without calling us. We train you in an hour.
Search basics done right
Page titles, descriptions, fast load times, image sizing, sitemap and Google Business Profile connection. The foundation local search needs.
Forms, booking & calls
Quote forms that land in the right inbox, online booking where it fits, click-to-call, and a thank-you page so you can see what the site produces.
Hosting & security
Managed WordPress hosting with daily backups, SSL, firewall and updates applied for you. No shared-hosting mystery, no expired certificate.
Care plan
Monthly updates, uptime monitoring, security patches and a set amount of content changes each month, turned around in two business days.
Pricing
One package covers most small-business sites. Beyond that, we quote it fixed.

- Live chat or instant messaging
- E-commerce or client portal

$150 per month
Keeps the site fast, secure and current after launch. Included at no charge for Managed IT clients.

Half is due to start, half at launch. Copy and photos come from you; if you’d rather we write it, page copy is available as an add-on. Hosting under the care plan is required for the first year on sites we build.
How it runs
Five to seven weeks, with you approving each step.
Week 0
Discovery
What the site needs to do, who it’s for, what you like and don’t, and what you have already: logo, photos, copy, domain.
Weeks 1–2
Design
Homepage design first, revised until you’d be proud to send it to a customer. Then the inner page system.
Weeks 3–5
Build & content
The site built in WordPress, your content poured in, forms and booking wired up, every page checked on a phone.
Week 6
Launch
Domain pointed, SSL issued, redirects from the old site, Google told about the new one. We watch it for a week.
Ongoing
Care plan
Updates, backups, monitoring and your monthly content changes. One number to call, same as your IT.
Why hire an IT company to build a website?
Because a website is IT. It needs hosting, security, backups, email that works with it and someone to fix it at 4 pm on a Friday. Agencies hand that off; we already do it for the rest of your business.
Can we edit the site ourselves?
Yes. It’s built in WordPress with editable blocks, and we train you. Most clients handle their own text and photo changes and call us for anything structural.
Do we own the site?
Completely. The domain is registered in your name, the hosting account is yours, and you can take the site elsewhere at any time with a full export.
What about our existing site?
We can refresh it, rebuild it on WordPress, or move it to proper hosting. We’ll tell you honestly which makes sense after seeing it.
How much does a website cost?
A business website is $3,750 and covers most small businesses: up to eight pages, contact form, search basics, analytics, launch and training. Anything beyond that, such as a blog, booking, live chat or e-commerce, is quoted fixed after a 30-minute scoping call, so you know the number before any work starts.
