Small business website design

A website built to be found, and to bring in business

Your website is the main thing Google and the AI tools read about your business. I build sites that load fast on a phone, explain your offer clearly, and are structured so search engines can read and quote them, in English, Spanish, or both.

What do I get with a website build?

A site written around the questions your customers ask, built so search engines and AI tools can read it, and fully owned by you.

Every build includes

  • semantic HTML and schema, so search engines and AI tools can read and quote it
  • fast load times on a phone
  • copy written around the questions your customers actually ask
  • English, Spanish, or both
  • a clean, lightweight setup without plugins nobody uses
  • full ownership of the site, the domain, and the content

How much does a small business website cost?

Websites start at $3,500 USD, and the price rises with what the site has to do. There's also a monthly Maintenance Fee of $160 to $500 USD, which starts when the project does.

A service business that needs a handful of pages to explain what it does and take inquiries sits near the floor. Online stores, bilingual sites, booking systems, memberships, and connections to the other software you run all push it up. You get a fixed quote after a call, before any work starts.

From $3,500 USD

Plus a Maintenance Fee of $160 to $500 USD a month from the start of the project.

The Maintenance Fee is part of owning a website. It starts when the project does, not at launch: hosting and the staging server run from day one, and it keeps us both moving, with your photos, content and interviews on the calendar early instead of at the end. It covers premium hosting, DNS and caching, software updates and licensing, security checks, uptime monitoring, monthly backups, a staging server, a transactional email server, Google Analytics, and up to 2 hours a month of text and image updates. Where you land in the $160 to $500 range depends on the site: an online store takes more upkeep than a 5-page site. If I'm running marketing for you, I host and maintain the site, because I can't be responsible for results on a site someone else is changing underneath me.

When does my business need a new website?

When search engines and AI tools can't read the site you have, or when fixing it would cost more than replacing it.

Most sites can be fixed, and the Search & AI Visibility Audit is how you find out. Some carry a lot of baggage, like plugins nobody uses and scripts left behind by tools you cancelled years ago, and the upkeep costs more every month than it should. Then I'll propose a rebuild. It's a proposal, though, and you can say no and still get the monthly Search & AI Visibility Plan.

Can't I just have AI build my website?

For some businesses that's a reasonable start. What AI tools don't reliably produce is a site that search engines can read, that loads fast, and that explains why you instead of the next business over.

I use AI as an assistant on my builds too. It drafts the structure, I direct it with what you tell me about the business, and then we review and polish together. The parts I'm accountable for are the ones that bring in business: semantic web standards, load times, the copy, and how easy it is to buy or get in touch.

That can be a simple site. It depends on the business.

Do I own my website?

Yes. You own the site, the domain, the content, and the accounts it runs on.

Nothing I build is locked down. If you decide to leave, you take your content with you and I'll help you move it.

Can my website be in English and Spanish?

Yes. I am fluent in both languages, so the Spanish and English content are in a native speaker's voice.

A bilingual site costs more to build than a one-language site, because every page exists twice and both versions have to be written well.

Trustworthy and quality. Zevi Media has collaborated with us from the beginning of our project, starting with our logo and website. Their timely response and reliability give us confidence to continue working with them.
