The price is the first thing you get, not the last
Most web work in this valley is quoted after a meeting, a discovery call and a proposal, and the number moves once you are already invested. We post ours in public instead.
Extra pages are $150 each. Logos and brand kits start at $350. Hosting and care is $40 a month and you can stop any time. You get the total before any work starts, and it does not move unless you ask for more pages. The full price list is on this site, where your competitors can read it too.
What a Jefferson County business actually needs
Usually not a big website. A one-page site that loads fast on a phone, says what you do, proves you do it well, and puts your phone number where a thumb can reach it, will out-earn five pages nobody scrolls.
What it has to do is work at the moment somebody is deciding. Hours that are right. Directions that open the map. Photographs of your actual shop rather than stock pictures of somebody else's. A button that calls you instead of a contact form you check on Tuesdays.
Start by finding out what people already see
Before you spend anything, run the free audit. Type your business name and your town and it runs up to 51 checks against your Google listing and your website: hours, reviews, the phone number, whether the site opens quickly on a phone, whether it can be read at all. It scores the result in plain English and names each problem.
It is free, there is nothing to sign up for, and it takes about twenty seconds. Plenty of businesses find out their listing is the problem and never need a website at all. If that is you, the listing tune-up is $150 flat and you keep the keys afterwards.
We studied 117 businesses in this valley
We pulled the public Google data on 117 local businesses and wrote up what we found. Fourteen of them hold half of all 11,201 reviews in the sample. Another fourteen are rated a perfect 5.0 with almost none, which sounds good and is actually a warning sign.
The whole thing is free, no business is named, and the methodology is published so you can check it. Read the Ohio Valley Digital Report.
Around Steubenville
We cover Jefferson County and the towns around it: Wintersville, Toronto, Mingo Junction, Bloomingdale, Richmond, Empire and Stratton, plus Follansbee, Wellsburg, Weirton and New Cumberland across the river. Cadiz, Carrollton and East Liverpool are all inside the hour as well.
How it goes
You call (740) 310-9000 or fill in the quote form, which takes about thirty seconds. We talk on the phone for ten minutes about what the business does and who it serves. You get a flat price, usually the same day.
Then one person builds the whole thing: the copy written from that phone call, the photographs directed on site, the Google listing tuned, the site live in about two weeks for a one page and two to three weeks for a full one. Afterwards you text the person who built it, and it gets changed the same day.
