Web design for the Grand Rapids area

I build websites for Grand Rapids businesses that don't have one yet.

Plumbers, mechanics, contractors, shops. I'll set up a clean site that works on phones, then host it and keep it updated for you. Most sites are done in about a week, and if you need something changed, just text me.

How it works

Usually about a week from start to finish

  1. Quick phone call

    About 15 minutes. You tell me what you do, where you work and what customers usually call you about.

    Day 1

  2. Text me your photos

    Send me some photos and your logo if you have one. I'll pull your services and hours from your Google or Facebook listing, and you just tell me if anything's wrong. If you don't have photos, I can use stock photos.

    Days 1–3

  3. Look it over and go live

    I text you a preview link. Tell me what to change, I'll fix it, and then the site goes live on your own web address.

Questions

Common questions

I already have a Facebook page. Why do I need a website?

Facebook is fine, but most people look on Google first, and Facebook pages don't show up well there. A website gets you into those search results with your number and hours right there. It also makes your business look more established.

Do I have to learn how to edit it?

No. Just text or email me what you want changed, like new hours or a new photo, and I'll take care of it, usually within a day or two.

What do I need to give you?

Your business name, phone number, services, the towns you cover, your hours, and some photos if you have them. Most of that I can pull from your Google or Facebook listing, so you just check it over and text me your photos. You won't have to fill anything out.

How do I pay?

You pay half the setup fee ($250) to get started and the other half when the site is ready to go live. The $75 monthly fee starts once the site is live and is due at the start of each month.

What if I want to cancel?

Just give me 30 days' notice. The standard plan doesn't lock you into a contract, and your domain stays in your name.

What's the free sample?

I'll put together a quick version of your homepage with your business name and services, then text you the link. If you like it, we keep going. If not, you don't owe me anything.

About

About me

I started Grand River Web Co. because a lot of good local businesses still don't have a website, and they're missing out on meaningful business because of it. Most of them don't have time to build one or deal with the upkeep, so I do it for them.

I build every site myself, and I'm the one you talk to when you call or text. I also built and run my own online business, GrowAI, so I know what goes into keeping a website up and running.

Contact

Want to see what your site could look like?
