Warning Signs

Signs Your Website Is Costing You Leads

Most business websites don't fail loudly. They just quietly stop working: pages load slowly on phones, the phone number is buried, and the site never shows up when someone in Duluth searches for what you do. Every one of those visitors was a potential customer who went to a competitor instead.

Your website should be your hardest-working salesperson. It should load fast, answer the questions customers actually ask, show proof that you're the right choice, and make it effortless to call or request a quote. If yours isn't doing that, a redesign built around search and conversions usually pays for itself.

It's time for a new site if:

  • It's slow or awkward on a phone
  • Visitors can't find your number fast
  • It doesn't show up for your services on Google
  • It looks dated next to your competitors
  • You can't tell how many leads it brings in
  • Updating it is a hassle

What You Get

What's Included in Our Website Design

Every site we build starts with strategy, not templates. We learn who your customers are, what they search for, and what makes them pick up the phone, then plan every page around turning that search into a lead. You get a site that looks like your business at its best and is built to be found.

Under the hood, we set up the technical foundation that most small-business sites skip: clean page structure, keyword-focused titles and headings, local business schema, compressed images, and fast load times on mobile. That's what gives your new site a real chance to climb Google, not just look good on launch day.

Every website project includes

  • Custom, mobile-first design
  • Conversion-focused layouts and calls to action
  • SEO-ready structure, titles and schema
  • Speed and image optimization
  • Contact forms and click-to-call tracking
  • Google Analytics and Search Console setup

Built to rank, not just to look good

A beautiful website nobody finds doesn't grow your business. Because we also do SEO, content and automation, your site is built to work with all three: pages target the searches your customers make, content answers their questions, and every lead can flow straight into an automated follow-up.

FAQ

Website Design FAQs

How long does it take to build a new website?

It depends on the number of pages, the features you need, and how ready your content is. Most small-business sites take a few weeks to a couple of months from kickoff to launch. We'll give you a realistic timeline in your plan before any work starts.

How much does a website cost?

Informational websites are $3,500 and ecommerce sites are $5,000, billed half up front and half on completion. Hosting, management and security is $100/month, or you can get your website as part of a Marketing + Website plan starting at $1,800/month. See our pricing page for details.

Do I own my website after launch?

Yes. You have complete ownership of your website and can do whatever you want with it once the project is finished. We build on WordPress with an easy visual editor, so you can update text, photos and hours yourself (or we'll handle updates for you), and you're never locked in to us.

Is my website custom, or a template?

It's designed around your brand, your services and the towns you serve, with copy written for your business and your own photos. We start from page layouts we've already tested with home-service customers, which is a big part of why our sites load fast and bring in leads, but the design, words and photos are yours, not another company's.

Do you redesign existing websites?

Absolutely. We can keep the content and pages that are working, fix what isn't, and rebuild the site on a faster, search-friendly foundation, with redirects so you don't lose the rankings you've already earned.
