Web, software, and care. New Smyrna Beach, FL
Get found by people who don't know your name yet.
Custom websites for New Smyrna businesses, built by someone who lives here. One fixed price, live in about two weeks.
Found by strangers
The people typing "near me" into a phone land on you, not just the ones who know your name.
Same story on Google
Your site and your Google listing say the same hours, phone, and services, to the letter.
Looks like the town
Real design, and photos made at your place, not a stock library.
Never goes stale
Seasonal menus and events retire themselves. A care plan keeps the rest current.
Two packages, one fixed price.
One number up front, half when we start and half when it goes live.

Care Plan
Hosting, monitoring, and backups from $50 a month. Care Plus, at $250, is the one I recommend anywhere the menu or the hours change: I keep menus, hours, events, and photos current all year.

“John made a website for my business that was clean, easy to use and reflects a lot of the small things about my business that make it special. He simplified the tech side of building a website for me in a way that makes things understandable. Because of John’s tech knowledge, the site quickly gained a bunch of traction, making my business instantly more accessible to customers that normally wouldn’t search for my business. He listened to me on what my vision for the site was, built the site, requested feedback, then immediately made requested changes. From start to finish, it took about two weeks, and the process overall was incredibly smooth. 10/10 would recommend”

Lines and Vines Coffee
Brand and site for a coffee shop two blocks off the beach. Our photography, the shop's own hand-drawn menu marks, a fall menu that retires itself.

Real photography, made here
The photography on these builds is real, shot here in New Smyrna, not pulled from a stock library.

Who's behind it
A developer who has built everything from industrial software to dozens of business sites, and lives here. A coffee shop's site gets the same engineering as anything bigger.

Straight answers.
- How does a website get found by people who don't know my business?
- New customers come from plain searches, "coffee near me," "plumber new smyrna beach." A site shows up for those when it tells Google exactly what you are and matches your Google listing to the letter. Every site I build ships with that, and the monthly report shows how many people found you without knowing your name.
- How much does a website cost in New Smyrna Beach?
- Launch is $2,500 for a five to seven page custom site. Signature, for restaurants, hotels, and multi location businesses, is $6,000. Care starts at $50 a month and Care Plus is $250. One fixed number, never an hourly estimate.
- I am on Squarespace or Wix. Can you just make that better?
- Usually rebuilding costs about the same as fighting the template, and you end up with something that is yours. I will look at what you have and tell you straight. If it is fine, I will say that too.
- How long does it take?
- Most sites go live in one to two weeks. Need it faster? There is a rush price, just ask for the number.
- What happens after launch?
- You own the site, the code, and every login. Care keeps it hosted, monitored, and backed up for $50 a month. Care Plus, at $250, adds the updates: menus, hours, events, and photos kept current through every season, plus the monthly report.
