Connecticut Web Design

Connecticut web design without the agency runaround: a custom site designed and built by the same person you email, made to bring in customers, not just sit there looking nice. Here is what every build includes, what it costs, and how the process works, for any business in the USA.

What you get with every website

  • A custom design around your business, not a template with your logo dropped in
  • Mobile friendly from the first draft, because most of your visitors are on a phone
  • SEO built in from day one: page structure, titles, and content that match what people search
  • Fast loading pages on solid hosting
  • Direct communication with me, by email, text, or a call

Recent web design work

Real projects, with the full story behind each one:

  • JmBee Travel Health: a travel vaccine clinic rebuilt from a cluttered old site into a modern hub with 125+ custom pages
  • OrthoMA: an orthopedic care center whose site now ranks well and helped drive a second location
  • Amos Plumbing: a full rebrand build for an Arizona plumbing company, including cleanup of security issues

What a website costs

Of the 13 other web design companies I checked in July 2026, 9 will not tell you a single price until you get on a sales call. Here is how my pricing works instead. The design and build is a one-time project cost that depends entirely on complexity: a focused five page business site is a very different job than a 100 page build with online booking, and I quote it flat after a short conversation so there are no surprise invoices. Then, once your site is live, ongoing services run from $35 a month for basic hosting and maintenance up to $3,000+ a month for a full SEO and content program. To be clear, that monthly range is what comes after the site is built, not the price of a website. I broke down the full numbers, including what other companies charge, in my website cost guide.

Why one person instead of a big agency?

With an agency, your project gets passed between a salesperson, a project manager, and whoever is free that week. With me, the person you email is the person building your site. Changes happen faster, answers are straight, and nothing gets lost in the middle.

Where I work

I’m based in Connecticut and work with businesses anywhere in the USA. Locally that means the whole state, from Pomfret, Woodstock, Putnam, and Killingly down to Norwich and Hartford, where we can meet in person. Everywhere else, projects run over zoom, email, and text, which is how I already work with clients in Arizona and Massachusetts.

Questions I get a lot

How long does it take to build a website?

Most small business sites take a few weeks from our first meeting to launch. Bigger builds with lots of pages take longer. I give you a time frame with the quote and keep you updated as I go.

Do you redesign existing websites?

Yes, a lot of my work is rebuilding sites that are outdated, cluttered, or broken. I can usually keep what works, fix what does not, and preserve your Google rankings in the process.

Do you handle hosting and maintenance?

Yes. I can set up fast, reliable hosting and take care of updates, backups, and fixes after launch, so you never have to think about the technical side.

Will my new site show up on Google?

Every site I build has SEO baked in: clean structure, proper titles, and pages matched to real searches. If you want to go after competitive keywords, I also offer ongoing SEO.
