Make the first visit useful
Services, hours, location, phone number, photos, reviews, and the next step should not require a scavenger hunt.
Serving Bay City, Michigan
Local web design & development
Web Design & Development in Bay City, Michigan.
A professional website for Bay City businesses that makes the important stuff easy to find and does not become another full-time job to manage.
Based in Bay City · Direct developer · Available in person or remotely
Built for the local market
Bay City has plenty of businesses that deserve better than a Facebook page.
Bay City has a mix of riverfront downtown businesses, neighborhood commercial districts, restaurants, shops, contractors, professional services, churches, and local organizations. They do not all need the same website, but they do need one that makes sense on a phone and answers basic customer questions quickly.
I am based here in Bay City, so this is not a pretend 'local' landing page for a company three states away. If meeting in person is useful, we can. If email is easier, that works too.
What matters
A useful website earns its keep.
It should answer customer questions, make the business look credible, and give people an obvious way to call, visit, book, request a quote, or get in touch.
Look good on a phone
A customer checking your site from the parking lot should get the same clear experience as someone at a desktop.
Stay easy to update
Hours change. Staff changes. Menus, events, and services change. The website should be built for that reality.
Services
Build it once. Keep it useful afterward.
I can handle the initial website, the hosting and maintenance after launch, or both. You choose how hands-on you want to be.
Web design & development
A clean, responsive website built around what your customers actually need to see and do.
Hosting & maintenance
Hosting, SSL, backups, software updates, monitoring, and the boring infrastructure handled for you.
Ongoing support
Small content changes, new pages, updated hours, events, services, and practical help after launch.
Starting prices
Clear enough to know whether we are in the same ballpark.

Real work
Not a template reseller. I build websites for a living.
My work ranges from straightforward local sites to custom WordPress systems, publishing platforms, maps, filters, APIs, and editorial tools. For a small business, that means the simple site is backed by someone who can handle it when the requirements stop being simple.
