Get to Know Us

Brooke and I have been working together almost as long as we've been married! Since 2007 we've been helping local small businesses get online. And since 2011 we've lived in Apex near Sweetwater and Beaver Creek. You'll often find us at a local Apex Park or grabbing dinner at Fenton.

We TRULY love passionate local small business owners which is why we're selective about our partnerships. Anyone can just slap up a website for you, we see it all the time. If that's what you're looking for, that's not us.

We're looking for businesses that care how their website represents them online. Owners who have a WHY behind what they do. That's the type of local businesses we want to help succeed. Those are the types of businesses that make us a better community!

 Frequently Asked Questions

🙋 Got Questions?

We've got answers to some of the most common questions about our website design and digital marketing services. If we didn't answer below we are more than happy to chat!

How much does a website cost in Apex?

We've done everything from a $500 Google Site to a $7K+ full site for local businesses. Every website is unique and costs vary based on your specific needs. What sets us apart is that we can meet the needs of both large and small projects! Have a chat with us and we can see if we're right for you.

How long does it take to build a website?

The timeline depends on the complexity of your project. A basic website typically takes 3-4 weeks, while more complex sites may take 6-8 weeks or more. We'll provide a clear timeline during our initial consultation.

Do you offer website maintenance for Triangle businesses?

Yes! We offer ongoing maintenance services to keep your website secure, up-to-date, and performing well. Our maintenance plans include regular updates, backups, and technical support whenever you need it.

How do you compare to other web designers in Cary and Apex?

First, make sure they're actually local. A lot of companies claim to be in Apex but are really based across the country. We wrote a guide on how to spot fake local web designers. We're an open book, and that's one of our biggest advantages. And we care a whole lot about serving other local small businesses with authenticity and integrity.

Can you set up a business email for me?

Many small businesses are fine using a Gmail account, and that's totally okay! But if you want a professional email like you@yourbusiness.com, we can set that up for just $50 setup and $15/year per email address.
