What $99 a month gets you

Most monthly plans in Cincinnati treat hosting, domain and SSL as optional add-ons and put content updates on a higher tier. Mine are not add-ons. They are the plan.

Quoted exactly as written. Read them all on Google.

Highly professional from start to finish. Our recording label's website needed a complete overhaul and Yoshua elevated the site aesthetically while making its functionality seamless so the fans of our artists DaBaby and Toosii can hop online to read up on the latest news and grab tickets for upcoming tours. We would definitely recommend him for your website design.

If you are a business owner looking for an affordable, high-performing website, Cincinnati Web Designs is the Gold Standard. Yoshua Meatchum is incredible to work with and just launched my new site. They offer a complete package, including building a beautiful digital space and integrating crucial SEO to help the business grow. Amazing service and excellent communication throughout!
Gloria Jones Business owner, Cincinnati

Why it matters

Most Cincinnati business websites are quietly costing you customers.

They load slowly. They were built for a desktop screen and never properly checked on a phone, which is where most of your customers actually are. They do not appear in the map pack when someone nearby searches for what you do.

And when somebody does land on them, there is no obvious way to get in touch. A form buried on a contact page three clicks away is not a way to get in touch.

You can check the first of those yourself in about thirty seconds. Run your address through Google's PageSpeed Insights and read the mobile score, not the desktop one. Most come back in the forties. Speed is something search engines measure directly, and it is the first thing a visitor feels.

None of that is exotic or expensive to fix. It is the baseline, and it is what web design in Cincinnati should have included all along. It is what the $99 a month above buys you.

What we do

Web design and local SEO services in Cincinnati

Three services, and they are the three that decide whether a local business gets found and then gets called. Web designers who hand over a site and stop there have done about half the job.

You need a website that works

Your current site is slow, outdated, or was never built for a phone screen. You need a hand-coded Cincinnati web design that loads fast and makes it easy for people to call you. No page builder, no theme, no monthly plugin roulette. If you already have a site, a redesign costs the same as a new build.

You need to show up locally

Someone nearby searches for what you do and your competitors appear instead. Local SEO in Cincinnati puts you in the map pack where those searches actually convert. That means your Google Business Profile, your citations and the pages on your own site all saying the same thing about where you work.

You need more Google reviews

Happy customers forget to leave reviews unless you ask. A review automation system sends the request for you after every job, by text and email. Reviews are the strongest map pack signal you can actually influence, and the gap between a business with twelve and one with eighty is rarely the quality of the work.

The process

Cincinnati web design, three steps, one to two weeks

  1. 1

    Tell me about your business

    Four questions on a form, or a phone call if you would rather. No sales process, no proposal deck.

  2. 2

    I build it, you review it

    You see the real site, not a mockup. Revisions are not capped and not charged for.

  3. 3

    It goes live and I look after it

    Hosting, updates, security and reporting are all included for as long as you are with me.

Industries

Cincinnati web design for trades and local service businesses

20 businesses, 13 trades, one plan. The trade changes the shape of the site, never the price.

A radon contractor needs service area pages, because the work is geographic. A retailer needs a catalogue and a checkout. A barbershop needs booking above the fold and very little else. Same ten to fifteen pages, arranged differently. Not a different quote.

If your trade is not on the list, that only means you would be the first. What you will not find is a speciality we cannot back: there is no dentist and no HVAC company in the portfolio, so neither is claimed here.

Roofers get a page of their own, because the storm and seasonal questions are different enough to be worth answering separately.

Choosing

How do you compare web design quotes in Cincinnati?

Compare them on five things rather than the total. Get every price in writing, confirm who writes the code, check what a content change costs after launch, make sure the domain is registered in your name, and open their live client sites on a phone.

Published pricing

If a Cincinnati web design company will not tell you what a website costs without a discovery call, that is a negotiating position rather than a process. Affordable does not have to mean cheap, but it does have to mean knowable before you commit to anything.

Walk away if the number only exists after a discovery call.

A named builder

Plenty of web design services in Cincinnati sell the work and then subcontract it. Ask who writes the code and whether you will ever speak to them. For a small business the difference between a project manager and the actual web designer is usually the difference between a two week build and a two month one. You can also check a company is what it says it is: the Ohio Secretary of State's business search will tell you whether the LLC exists and when it was registered.

Walk away if nobody will name the person writing the code.

Live client sites

A portfolio of mockups proves nothing. Ask for addresses you can open, then open them on your phone. Plenty of websites that look composed on a desktop screen were never checked on a responsive layout, and the user experience on a 390 pixel screen is the one most of your customers will get.

Walk away if the portfolio is mockups instead of addresses.

Domain ownership

Your domain should be registered in your name from the first day. Some website designers register it in theirs, and it only becomes a problem at the point you try to leave.

Walk away if the domain will be registered in their name.

Support after launch

Ask what a content change costs and how long it takes. A site that search engines can find is worth very little if the opening hours are still wrong six months later because nobody wanted to raise a ticket over it. That one question separates most Cincinnati web design quotes from each other more than the build price does.

Walk away if nobody will price a content change in advance.

None of those five are specific to Cincinnati, but the last two are where being local actually counts. A company three time zones away will not know that Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky behave as one market to the people searching in it, and will not be reachable on the Friday you need the holiday hours changed.

Questions

The things people ask first

How much does a website cost?

$99 a month with nothing down and no setup fee. That is 10 to 15 pages, hand-coded, with hosting, SSL, your domain connection, unlimited content updates, maintenance and monthly reporting included. Most Cincinnati agencies quote $4,000 to $30,000 up front.

Is there really no money down?

None. No deposit, no setup fee. You pay $99 on the day you start and $99 every month after.

How long am I locked in?

The website is a 12-month term, because I build 10 to 15 pages up front and charge nothing down. After that it continues month to month. Review automation and local SEO have no term at all. Cancel any service with 30 days notice.

Do I own my website?

Your domain is yours from day one and stays in your name. The website itself becomes yours to keep once the first 12 months are complete.

Can I update the site myself?

No, and I would rather say so now than surprise you later. These are hand-coded, so there is no dashboard to log into and nothing to break. You email me a change and it is usually live the same day, at no extra cost.

How long does it take to build?

One to two weeks for most sites, depending on how quickly we get through content and feedback.

What should I look for in a Cincinnati web design company?

Ask for the price up front, ask who actually writes the code, and ask what a content change costs after launch. Check that the domain will be registered in your name. Then open their live client sites on your phone, because that is the screen your own customers will use.

Are you an agency or a freelancer?

Neither, exactly. Cincinnati Web Designs is a registered LLC and I am the only person on it, so the web designer you talk to is the one writing the code. You get a freelancer's directness with an agency's hosting, support and monthly reporting, at one price.

Still thinking about it?

The price is $99 a month and it is on this page for a reason. Call me and talk to the person who would actually build it.
