Web Design · Santa Rosa & Sonoma County

Websites that actually work for your business.

Hand-coded, fast-loading, SEO-optimized websites for small businesses in Santa Rosa and across Sonoma County. No templates. No WordPress bloat. No subscription "platforms" that lock your data hostage. Just a website built for you, that loads in under a second and shows up on Google — and in AI engines. Starting at $500.

Why Santa Rosa businesses pick us

We build websites the way we'd want one built for ourselves.

That means no shortcuts, no "platform" lock-in, and no charging you monthly for something you should own outright. Here's what you actually get.

Blazing fast.

Hand-coded in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript means your site loads in under a second — on any device, on any connection. Google ranks fast sites higher. Customers wait less. You win both ways.

🎯

Built for Google.

Local SEO, schema markup, mobile-first design, Google Business Profile integration — every site launches ready to rank for your Santa Rosa and Sonoma County searches. Most clients see traffic growth in 60–90 days.

🔒

You own everything.

No Wix subscription. No Squarespace lock-in. No "website platform" holding your content hostage. You get the code, the domain, the hosting — all of it. Leave us tomorrow, take it all with you.

🏠

Local and responsive.

We're based in Santa Rosa. When you call, you reach Justin directly — not an offshore support queue. In-person meetings when they help. Same-day response during business hours. No ticket systems.

📊

Real analytics, not spam.

We install privacy-respecting analytics (no Google Analytics cookie consent nag) so you can actually see what's working. Plus conversion tracking, form analytics, and a monthly report you'll actually read.

🧠

Strategy, not just pixels.

Before we touch design, we figure out who you're selling to, what they search for, and why they should pick you over the competition. The website is the last step — not the first.

Websites, starting at $500

What we build.

Every project is quoted individually. You only pay for what you actually need — no forced tiers, no hidden retainer fees.

Custom Small Business Website

Fully custom design, mobile-responsive, SEO-optimized, Google Business Profile setup, and schema markup. Perfect for service businesses, restaurants, retail shops, and professionals. Built to the scope you need — simple one-pager or multi-page marketing site.

Website Redesign

We rebuild your existing site from scratch on a modern foundation. Keep your content and your SEO equity, lose the slow load times and outdated design. Includes a full content audit.

E-commerce Website

Sell products, memberships, gift cards, or services online. Custom checkout with Stripe or Square, inventory management, and full tax/shipping integration.

Custom Web App

When a website isn't enough. Booking systems, member portals, owner dashboards, kiosks, integrations. Advanced solutions built to match your exact business operations — see our Easy Breezy case study for what custom looks like in practice.

Monthly Website Care

Hosting, SSL, security updates, content changes, performance monitoring, and a quarterly SEO check-in. So you never think about your website except when it's sending you leads.

Local SEO Boost

For existing sites that need more traffic. Google Business Profile setup, schema markup, local citation cleanup, on-page SEO fixes, and monthly rank tracking.

Every quote is fixed-price. Small one-pagers start at $500. Larger builds scale up based on scope.

Beyond websites

Full-stack growth systems.

A website is a starting point. We build the whole machine that turns visitors into customers.

SEO + GEO Specialists

SEO is how Google finds you. GEO — Generative Engine Optimization — is how ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google's AI Overviews decide to cite you when someone asks a question in those tools. We specialize in both. Every site we build is engineered to show up in traditional search AND get quoted by AI engines.

Capture Forms + Lead Routing

We build custom forms that actually match your sales process — multi-step, conditional, file uploads, payment, scheduling. Leads route automatically to your email, SMS, CRM, or a lightweight dashboard we build for you.

Database Management

Member lists, customer databases, inventory, reservation systems, staff rosters. We design clean data models, migrate from spreadsheets and legacy systems, and build the admin tools so your team can actually use the data.

Email Marketing Campaigns

We launch and manage email campaigns on your own infrastructure — Resend, Mailchimp, Listmonk, or custom. Warm-up sequences, audience segmentation, automation flows, deliverability monitoring. You own the list, you own the data.

SMS Marketing Campaigns

Text messages have a 98% open rate. We set up SMS marketing with proper opt-in flows, compliance (TCPA, 10DLC), segmented broadcasts, and two-way conversations. Great for local businesses, club memberships, and time-sensitive promos.

Owner Dashboards

A single place where you see what matters — today's bookings, this week's leads, monthly revenue, customer feedback, campaign results. Custom-built for your business, not a generic BI tool you'll never open.

FAQ

Straight answers to common questions.

How much does a custom website cost in Santa Rosa?

Websites start at $500 for a simple small business site. Larger marketing sites, redesigns, e-commerce, and custom web apps (booking systems, kiosks, member portals) scale up based on scope — we price each project individually so you only pay for what you actually need. We also build advanced solutions: capture forms, databases, email and SMS marketing campaigns. Every quote is fixed-price — no hourly surprises.

Do you only work with Santa Rosa businesses?

We're based in Santa Rosa and primarily serve Sonoma County — Petaluma, Sebastopol, Rohnert Park, Healdsburg, Windsor, Cotati, Sonoma, Glen Ellen — but we also take on projects from Marin, Napa, and the broader Bay Area. Being local means faster communication, in-person meetings when it helps, and deep knowledge of the Sonoma County business landscape.

Do you use WordPress or Wix?

No. We hand-code websites in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (with Python or Node for custom backends when needed). This means your site loads faster, ranks better on Google, is more secure, and costs less to maintain — no plugin updates breaking the site, no bloated page weight, no monthly Wix subscription fees. The tradeoff is that clients can't drag-and-drop edit — but we include content updates in our monthly care plan, so that's usually not an issue.

How long does a website take to build?

Most small business sites take 3–5 weeks from kickoff to launch. Complex builds with custom backends (like our Easy Breezy Car Wash project with its kiosk system and owner dashboard) take 6–10 weeks. We start with a 60-minute strategy call, deliver a design preview in week 2, a working staging site in week 3, and launch after your final review.

Will my website rank on Google?

Every site we build is engineered for local SEO from day one: proper heading structure, schema markup, fast page speed, mobile-first responsive design, Google Business Profile integration, and internal linking. We don't promise specific rankings (nobody honest does) — but we do promise that your site will meet every technical requirement Google looks at when deciding where to rank you. Most of our clients see traffic growth within 60–90 days of launch.

Can you help with Google Business Profile and local SEO?

Yes. Local SEO is built into our design process — not a separate add-on. We set up or optimize your Google Business Profile, ensure your NAP (Name/Address/Phone) is consistent across the web, submit your site to major local directories, and install schema markup so your business shows up correctly in the Google local pack and AI search results.
