You're in Delaware — do you actually work with Philly businesses?

Yes. We're 40 minutes from Center City and the work happens online for almost every project. If you want a kickoff meeting in Philly, we'll drive up.

Can you help us rank for 'near me' searches in our neighborhood?

Yes. Neighborhood-level local SEO is mostly Google Business Profile plus on-page schema and neighborhood keywords. We set up GBP and the schema for every Philly client.

We're on Squarespace and want to leave. Can you migrate us?

Yes. We rebuild as a fast custom site, set up 301 redirects from the old URLs, and cut over without downtime. Most Squarespace migrations land in the Custom Website tier ($800–$2,500).

Web design in Philadelphia, PA

Custom websites for Philadelphia small businesses. Remote-friendly Delaware studio, $300 to start, live in two weeks. We answer our own emails.

Why Philadelphia small businesses work with us

Philadelphia agencies start at $5,000–$15,000 for a small business website. A Center City studio bills $150–$250 an hour and a Fishtown shop will sell you a six-month retainer before you've even seen a wireframe. For a Roxborough cafe, a Northern Liberties contractor, or a Manayunk boutique, that math doesn't work.

We're 40 minutes south of the city in Delaware. We build the same kind of fast, custom sites those agencies build — but at $300 to start, $15/month to host, no retainer, and you own the code. We meet on video, ship weekly to a staging URL, and have the site live in 1–2 weeks.

What you get for $300 in Philadelphia

Custom design tied to your brand. Not a Squarespace template.
Mobile-first build. Half of Philly traffic is on a phone on the El.
Local SEO basics. Google Business Profile setup, LocalBusiness schema, neighborhood-level keywords (Fishtown, South Philly, Manayunk, Northern Liberties, etc.).
Contact form that emails you directly.
SSL and security defaults. HTTPS, secure forms, basics done right.
Source code yours to keep. No vendor lock-in.

Neighborhoods and sectors we work with

Philly is a city of neighborhoods. The same template doesn't fit a Fishtown wine bar and a Northeast contractor:

Fishtown / Northern Liberties / Kensington. Bars, coffee, studios, design-forward retail. Sites that look as sharp as the brand.
Center City and University City. Professional services, dentists, attorneys, consultants. Trust signals and clear booking paths.
South Philly. Restaurants, takeout, family-run businesses. Menu pages, online ordering links, hours that are actually correct.
Manayunk / Roxborough / Chestnut Hill. Boutiques, salons, fitness. Mobile-first design and Instagram-ready pages.
Northeast and South Philly trades. Roofing, plumbing, HVAC, towing. Local "near me" SEO and lead-capture forms.
