Small business web design in DenverYes, we'll take a five-page site for a two-person business
Most agencies have a minimum project size. Nobody says it on the website — you find out on the call, after you've explained your business to a stranger for twenty minutes. We don't have one. A plumber with three services and a phone number is a completely normal job here.
From $99/month · No setup fee · Some sites live in 24 hours
What a small business site needs
To be found
By people already looking for what you sell, in the area you work.
To load fast on a phone
Because that's where nearly all of them will see it, often on bad signal.
To make calling obvious
Number visible before scrolling, tappable, on every single page.
A brand strategy workshop
Genuinely valuable for a company with a marketing department. Not for you.
The thing you keep running into
Agencies aren't built for a business your size
This isn't a criticism of them. A twenty-person agency has an office, account managers, project managers and a sales team. That structure costs money every month whether or not anyone is working on your site. To cover it they need projects above a certain size, which is why published Denver pricing lands between $9,000 and $22,000 for a professional five-page site.
If you're a two-person operation doing good work in Arvada, you're not the customer that model was designed for. You'll either be quoted something you can't justify, or quietly deprioritized in favor of the client paying five times more.
"Let's schedule a discovery call"
Forty-five minutes about your brand values before anyone mentions a number. You wanted to know if you can afford it.
They're sizing your budget
Nothing sinister. But the price often gets set by what they think you'll pay, which is why nobody publishes it.
The number is on the site
From $99 a month. If that doesn't work for you, you found out in ten seconds instead of two weeks.
Do the arithmetic
What is one more customer a month actually worth to you?
This is the calculation that decides whether a website is worth anything to a small business, and almost nobody runs it. Your numbers, not ours. Nothing is sent anywhere.
This is arithmetic on numbers you entered, not a projection or a promise. No website guarantees inquiries. The point is to work out what a single extra customer is worth to you, so you can judge any marketing spend against a real figure instead of a feeling.
Why this matters more than the price
Small business owners tend to evaluate a website as a cost. The better question is how many customers it needs to bring in before it pays for itself, and for most trades that number is startlingly low.
A remodeler with a $6,000 average job needs one extra customer roughly every five years to cover $99 a month. A restaurant with a $40 ticket needs about thirty extra covers a month. Those are very different propositions, and it's worth knowing which one you are before you spend anything.
It also works in reverse. If you run the numbers and a website couldn't realistically move them — because your work comes entirely from referral, or nobody searches for what you do — that's genuinely useful to know. We'd rather you spent the money somewhere it works.
Priorities
What to spend on, and what to skip entirely
Small business websites go wrong by buying things that sound professional but do nothing, while missing the boring items that actually produce calls.
Worth every dollar
A page for each service you sell
Five services on one page can't rank for five things. This single change does more than any redesign.
Speed on a phone
Free to test at Google's PageSpeed Insights. A slow site loses people before they read a word.
Your Google Business Profile
Free, and for most local trades it matters more than the website. Map results sit above everything else.
Real photos of your work
Original images build more trust than stock, with customers and with search engines. Your phone is fine.
Not yet, and maybe not ever
A custom logo package
If you have something serviceable, keep it. A logo has never won anybody a plumbing job.
Animations and video backgrounds
They slow the page down, which costs you more customers than they impress.
A blog you won't maintain
Four posts from two years ago reads worse than no blog. Only start one if you'll keep it going.
Booking systems you don't need
If you take jobs by phone and that works, adding software adds cost and something else to break.
The five that actually cost you money
Mistakes we see constantly
Every service crammed onto one page
The most common and most expensive mistake. If you do bathrooms, kitchens and basements, that's three searches, three sets of competitors and three different customers. One page listing all three competes properly for none of them. Splitting them is usually the single highest-return change available to a small business site.
The phone number as an image
Sometimes done to avoid scrapers. The effect is that nobody can tap it, and search engines and AI assistants can't read it at all. If your number isn't machine-readable text, you're invisible in exactly the situations where somebody is ready to call.
Copy written to sound like a bigger company
"Delivering integrated solutions with a commitment to excellence." Nobody searched for that. Being small is often the reason people choose you — they get the owner rather than a call center. Writing like a corporation throws away your actual advantage.
No prices anywhere, not even a range
The most common reason someone leaves a small business site is not knowing whether they can afford you. You don't need a full price list. A starting figure, a typical range, or a worked example removes the biggest source of hesitation on the page.
Built once and never touched again
Hours change, services change, the phone number changes. A site that contradicts reality costs you trust the moment somebody notices. This is why we include updates rather than billing hourly for them — the alternative is you not bothering, which helps nobody.
Who this actually suits
Built for businesses where the owner answers the phone
Most of our clients look roughly like this. If you recognize yourself here, the fit is good. If you don't, we'll say so.
Contractors and home services
Remodelers, plumbers, electricians, roofers, landscapers, HVAC. High job values mean a website pays for itself on very few extra customers. Local search is where these jobs come from.
Small practices and firms
Attorneys, accountants, consultants, clinics, agents. Credibility matters more than volume here — people check you before they call, and the site is what they check.
Shops, studios and restaurants
Lower ticket, higher volume, and Google Business Profile does a lot of the heavy lifting. Restaurants in particular need hours, menu and location correct above all else.
Brand new businesses
Nothing to migrate and no bad habits to undo. Getting the structure right from day one is far cheaper than fixing it in year three.
Side businesses going full time
The point where a Facebook page stops being enough. Usually the first real website, and it doesn't need to be complicated.
Who we're wrong for
Companies with a marketing department, several stakeholders and a brand committee. That coordination is a genuine skill and an agency does it better than we would. Hire them.
Selling products online instead? Ecommerce websites work differently. Need something a template can't do? Web development.
Straight answers
Small business web design questions
How much should a small business website cost?
Independent 2026 research puts most professional small business builds between $3,000 and $15,000, with freelancers typically $3,000 to $8,000 and agencies $8,000 to $15,000. Our custom-coded sites start at $99 a month with no setup fee, and builder plans start at $5.99 a month. Rates rise with size and complexity.
Is my business too small to need a website?
Depends entirely on whether people search for what you sell. A remodeler, a dentist or a plumber has real search demand. A business selling to twelve companies in the state does not, and would be better served by a credible one-page site than by chasing rankings. Work out what one extra customer is worth to you first.
Do you have a minimum project size?
No. A three-page site for a sole trader is normal work here. That's the main structural difference between us and an agency — low overhead means small projects still make sense.
How many pages does a small business site need?
Usually one per service you sell, plus a home page, an about page and a contact page. So a three-service business is looking at around six pages. More than that is often padding; fewer usually means services are sharing a page and competing with each other.
Can I update it myself?
On our monthly plans updates are included — send us the change and it usually happens the same day, which is faster than most people manage themselves. If you'd rather have the keys, say so at the start and we'll build on something that supports it.
What if I don't have photos or written content?
Most small business owners don't, and waiting for it is what stalls website projects. We write the content from a fifteen minute phone call and you correct it. For photos, your phone is genuinely fine — real pictures of real work beat stock every time.
Will it work on phones?
Every site is designed at phone width first, because that's where nearly all local searches happen. You can check any website yourself with Google's free PageSpeed Insights tool, including whoever else you're considering hiring.
How fast can it be live?
Some single-page sites go live within 24 hours. A typical small business site with a handful of service pages takes about a week. The thing that moves the timeline is how quickly you can answer questions, not how fast the code gets written.
What happens after it launches?
Hosting, updates, security and edits are included on the monthly plans, and the site gets submitted to Google Search Console so it starts being crawled. New service, new number, new photos — send it over. One number to call.
