Small business website design in NC and SC
Websites for the customer looking you up from their driveway
Most of the sites we build are for contractors and local service businesses around Charlotte, Lake Norman and Charleston, plus a few elsewhere in the Carolinas. Each one starts as a mockup of your own homepage that you can pull up on your phone. If you want to go ahead, launch is $399 for up to five pages.
Monday to Friday, 9 to 5 Eastern
Custom website design
Your services, the towns you drive to and photos from your own jobs. Somebody landing on your homepage should be able to tell what you do and whether you come out to them before they've scrolled. You react to a design of your actual site before anything gets built.
Layouts start on a phone screen and get stretched to desktop afterward. The call button and quote form sit where a thumb can reach them.
- A homepage designed for your business, approved by you
- Up to five pages, then $60 a page
- Your photos, logo and colors
- Tap-to-call and a quote form that lands in your inbox

What happens behind the design
Design is what you look at. Development is what makes it load fast on a phone and show up in a search. That means connecting your domain (or buying you a .com), adding the SSL certificate so browsers don't warn people away, linking Google Maps and your social pages, and testing on phones and the major browsers before launch.
Basic SEO comes with every page: a title and description written for your trade and town, and headings Google can actually read. Google looks at the phone version of a site first when it ranks it (it calls this mobile-first indexing) and grades loading speed with Core Web Vitals. Sites get built to both.
- Your domain connected, SSL included
- Google Maps and social profiles linked
- Basic SEO on every page
- Tested on phones and browsers before launch
Contractor website design
A homeowner pricing out a new patio will usually look at two or three company websites and call the one that makes it easy. That's most of the brief for a contractor site. These are the pieces that go on every one.
More on contractor website design, with a page for each trade: HVAC, plumber, electrician, roofing and landscaping.

Nobody should have to scroll to find it. Quote requests come to your inbox with the customer's name, number and what the job is.
Your towns, named
Customers search their own town, so the pages name the places you actually drive to. On Lead, the bigger ones each get a page of their own.
$399, live on your domain
Five pages at your own address, with Maps and your social pages connected. More pages are $60 each.
Your reviews where people decide
Your Google rating and a couple of real reviews near the top of the page, since that's what people check right before they call. Ours is on the right: 5.0 from 18.

Some of the small business websites we run
Eight live sites. Mostly contractors around Lake Norman and Charlotte, plus a party bus company, a house painter in Mount Pleasant and a Charleston boat tour crew with two booking sites. Three of the Lake Norman companies (Carolina Custom Stone, Carolina Custom Concrete and Carolina Fencing Solutions) are part-owned by Michael, who runs SkyBridge.
From first call to launch
No invoice until you've seen the design. Nothing goes live until you've signed off on it.
Tell us about the work
What you do and which towns you want calls from. A logo and some job photos help if you have them.
Look at your mockup
Your homepage with your name and services on it. Ask for changes until it looks like your business.
Launch
Domain, SSL, Maps and social connected, then a last check on phones and browsers before it goes live.
Monthly care
The changes you send, security updates and your Google Business Profile, handled every month.
Website maintenance and hosting
Care is $199 a month. The site is hosted with an SSL certificate, security updates get done, and the changes you text or email over get made: new photos, new hours, a service you've added. Your Google Business Profile stays current too. On its own Care won't move you up in Google much. That's what Grow ($499) and Lead ($999) are for.
Need more than Lead covers? We'll quote a custom plan.
- Hosting and SSL
- Security updates
- Changes when you send them

Website design questions
What goes in the five pages?
Usually a homepage, a services page, an about page, a page for the towns you cover and a contact page. It's a starting point. A painter and a party bus company need different pages, and we'll suggest what fits yours. Every page past five is $60.
Can you redesign the website I already have?
Yes. A redesign starts the same way, with a free mockup of the new homepage. If you keep your domain, every old page gets a permanent (301) redirect to its new address, so the search history the old site built up carries over. Palmetto Painting Contractors in Mount Pleasant was a 33-page rebuild of an older Wix site.
What is responsive web design?
One site that rearranges itself to fit whatever screen it's on, from a phone to a big monitor, so there's no separate mobile version to keep up. Every site we build is responsive, and the phone layout gets designed first.
What does website maintenance cost?
$199 a month on the Care plan, for sites up to six pages. That covers hosting, the SSL certificate, security updates and the changes you send, and your Google Business Profile stays current.
Will my site look like everyone else's?
It shouldn't. The design starts from your services, your towns and photos of your own work, and you see it as a mockup before anything is built. If it looks generic, say so and we'll change it.
