Your website is your storefront, your business card, and your sales team, all in one. When it looks generic or feels dated, customers click away to a competitor whose site doesn't.
Don't lose business to competitors with better websites. Here's how we help Triangle businesses get found and get chosen.
70% of customers use their phone. Your site will look perfect on mobile, tablet, and desktop.
No generic templates. We design every site to showcase what makes your Triangle business unique.
We optimize every page so you show up when Triangle residents search for what you offer.
From simple updates to complete monthly management, we handle as much or as little as you want.
AI handles a lot of the code, which frees us up to focus on what actually matters: design, user experience, and SEO. Better sites in less time. Win-win for both of us.
We are a small team with low overhead, so pricing stays fair. We also help you skip unnecessary hosting fees and service charges. Some of our clients pay zero ongoing for their website.
Since 2009, we've worked with business owners who care about their online reputation and want a website that helps their business grow.
Let's be real about what websites actually cost. Here's an honest breakdown of your options, from free to full-service.
Yes, you can build a website for nearly free. Buy a domain for about $14/year, use free hosting on Cloudflare, and have ChatGPT or Gemini generate an HTML website for you. Upload it to Cloudflare and you're live.
I built one to prove it's possible: seocarwebsites.com is a "Free DIY Website" example. It works, but it requires time, technical know-how, and won't have the polish or SEO optimization of a professional site.
Sure, but AI-generated sites are easy to spot. They look generic, read like filler, miss the personal connection that makes a local business feel trustworthy, and lean on SEO tactics that are often a year or two out of date. We use AI heavily too, but as a tool, not a strategy. The tiers below all have a human (hi, Matt and Brooke) steering the design, the SEO foundation, and the parts of the page that actually turn visitors into customers.
A tightly focused custom site built as a 1-3 page experience. Great for new businesses launching with limited content, service-focused businesses that want one sharp landing page, or anyone who needs a professional online presence without a full multi-page build. Pricing starts at $1,500 and moves up based on content volume and the level of custom design the project calls for.
The ideal move: pair this with our Google Business Profile Optimization. A smaller site paired with a maxed-out GBP can punch well above its weight in local search.
Our classic small business site: typically home, 1-3 service pages, about, and contact. The structure is familiar on purpose, it's what works for most local businesses. The custom part is everything else: the design, the layout, the copy direction, and the SEO foundation built in from the start. A great example is InwardBoundCounselingNC.com. Starts at $2,500 and scales from there based on content volume and design depth.
For bigger builds: more pages, deeper design, more complex functionality, or businesses in competitive markets where the site has to stand out visually and rank well against larger competitors. Think law firms, dental practices, specialty service businesses, or anything that needs more than a standard 5-page structure. Starts at $7,500 and scales from there based on scope and complexity.
Most of our custom sites include an ongoing $149/mo plan that covers:
Prefer to own the site outright with no monthly fee? That option is on the table too. We just need to know up front so we build it to hand off cleanly without the CMS layer baked in.
Not sure which option fits your business? Let's talk. We'll help you figure out what you need, not upsell you on features you don't.

Serving Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Holly Springs & the Triangle area since 2009
We recommend ALL of our clients take advantage of these online marketing necessities.
Your Google Business Profile is one of your most valuable online resources for customer acquisition. For local small businesses, an optimized GBP can drive more calls, directions, and website visits than almost anything else you do online.

Browse opportunitiesHere are the most common questions Triangle business owners ask us about custom websites.
This is probably our most common question, and our answer is probably the most common one too: it depends on what you need! Our 1-3 page custom sites start at $1,500, standard 5-page custom sites start at $2,500, and premium custom builds start at $7,500. Most sites also include an ongoing $149/mo plan for hosting, maintenance, and access to our Custom Content Management System. You can also buy a site outright with no monthly fee as long as we scope that up front. We need to have a conversation and understand what you're looking for before we can give you a real number.
This varies too, anywhere from 2 weeks to 2-3 months, depending on what we're building for you. A simple site goes faster, while something more complex with custom features takes longer.
Yes. Most of our sites include an ongoing $149/mo plan that covers hosting, maintenance, technical support, and access to our Custom Content Management System so you can edit your own site anytime. Prefer to own the site outright with no monthly fee? That's an option too, we just need to know up front so we build it to transfer cleanly. Either way, you can also layer in our ongoing local SEO if you want the site working harder over time.
We only build fully custom websites now. We use modern web technologies (HTML/CSS, Tailwind, Cloudflare hosting, Web3Forms for contact handling) and pair them with our Custom Content Management System so you can edit the site anytime without needing a developer. We moved away from offering Squarespace and WordPress because custom sites are faster, more secure, more flexible to design around your brand specifically, and don't need the ongoing security patching WordPress requires.
We secure hosting for all the sites we make, but you own the site and can take it over at any time. No lock-in contracts or holding your website hostage.
Site optimization involves a deeper discussion of on-page SEO and external signals like citations, backlinks, social media, and business profiles. It's not just about the website itself, it's about your whole online presence.
First, we chat! We want to understand what your needs are, what you're looking for, and see if we think we're a good fit. If we aren't, we'll let you know. No egos over here.
If you want to support other local small businesses like we do, if you want a more personalized approach with people who know the area, if you don't want a $36,000 18-page proposal emailed to you, and if you like sandwiches at Fratelli's... we're a good fit!
But seriously (okay, in case anyone's actually still reading this far down) we've seen it countless times. A business owner picks a different provider that we know has to cost more than us, and the end result is just sad. They were sold a vision and the website didn't deliver. Usually it's because that provider also does "things beyond the website," so the site becomes one piece of a bundled package and never gets the focus it deserves. My honest suggestion? Have us build the website, and let them handle the beyond-the-website stuff. If they say no, it's all or nothing, that's your sign the website is going to be underwhelming. Sorry, but it happens all the time.
Wix and Squarespace are pretty cool. Here's the thing though: you don't have time to do all of that! We exist because you're busy and need people you can trust with your business to do as good a job as they would for themselves. I could change my own oil, but I don't have time! I go to Christian Brothers in Apex because I trust them, they do good work for the community, and I don't have time for that.
