Do I really need a website if I already use Facebook or Instagram?

Yes — social media is rented space. Platforms can restrict your reach, change algorithms, or disappear. A website is YOUR online headquarters that builds trust, converts visitors 24/7, and ranks on Google. It's the difference between renting and owning.

How much does a website cost for a small business in St. Louis?

Our websites typically range from $500–$2,500+ depending on complexity. But here's the thing — we build your demo first, for free. You only pay if you love it. Most of our clients recoup the cost in their first 1-2 new customers.

How fast can you build my website?

Most sites go live within 5–7 business days. We've turned around simple landing pages in under 24 hours. Speed without cutting corners is our specialty.

Will my website show up on Google?

Every site we build includes on-page SEO optimization, local business schema markup, Google Search Console setup, and mobile optimization — all the technical foundations Google looks for. Ranking takes time, but we set you up correctly from day one.

Why not just use Wix, Squarespace, or a template?

Templates give you a website. We give you a sales tool. Custom builds load faster, rank better on Google, convert more visitors, and are tailored to YOUR specific business and customers — not a one-size-fits-all design built for everyone.

What happens after my site launches?

We don't disappear. We offer ongoing hosting, maintenance, updates, and support. You'll have a real person to call when you need changes or help — not a ticket system.
