Web Design Cincinnati: hand-coded, not a template.
$99 a month.

No, and I would rather be straight about that than sell you a dashboard you would never open. There is no CMS to log into. You email or call me and the change is made, usually the same day, as many times as you like. That is what unlimited content updates means.

Because most of an agency quote is overhead you get no value from: sales staff, account managers, project managers and an office. Spreading the cost monthly instead of asking for it all up front is the other half of it. A small business should not have to find four thousand dollars to discover whether a website works.

The website becomes yours to keep once the first 12 months are complete. Your domain is yours from day one and stays in your name. Because the site is standard HTML, CSS and JavaScript rather than a proprietary builder, another developer can pick it up without a migration.

One to two weeks for most sites, depending on how quickly we get through content and feedback. That is the whole build, not a first draft.

That is available. The store platform itself, Shopify or Snipcart, is billed separately by them because it is their software, not mine. Everything else stays $99 a month.

Hosting, SSL, the domain, security, <a href='/web-maintenance-cincinnati/'>ongoing maintenance</a> and unlimited content updates are all included in the same $99. There is no separate maintenance invoice, and monthly reporting comes with it so you can see what the site is actually doing.

Web design is the layout, colours and typography a visitor sees. Web development is the code underneath that makes it load fast, work on every screen and rank in Google. Most agencies split these into separate people or separate invoices. Here they are the same person and the same price, because a site that looks good but loads in six seconds is not doing its job.

It depends on who you hire. A Cincinnati agency will typically quote $4,000 to $30,000 up front for a small business site. Freelancers range from $1,500 to $5,000. Here it is $99 a month with nothing down, which works out to $1,188 for the first year. After that the site is yours and you stay on month to month for hosting, updates and maintenance.

A local designer understands which neighbourhoods your customers search from, what your competitors look like in the Cincinnati map pack, and how to write service pages that sound like they were written by someone who has actually driven through Norwood. Your site is built in Cincinnati, not handed off to a team in another time zone.
