Websites and search that bring business in the door.
Design, hosting, search, and local visibility — built so a company in Johnson City or Asheville can be found by the people who already want the work. We have been building and ranking sites for twenty years. The same person who will fix your UniFi will also tell you why the site does not rank.
Talk about your siteWhat we take on
- Website design and rebuilds — what you do, where you are, how to reach you; mobile-first; fast enough that people stay
- Local SEO — city pages that are not copies of each other, technical fixes, content that matches how people search
- Google Business Profile — setup, cleanup, posts, hours, photos, and a review path that does not leak one-star ratings onto the map
- Campaigns — ads and tracking when paid search actually makes sense; we will say when it does not
- Hosting — WordPress from $240/year on the Linux page, or your host
If the site is hacked — hacked WordPress, gambling links, or links you did not add — that is WordPress incident response, not a redesign.
How an engagement usually starts
We look at the live site, the Google Business Profile, and how a stranger in Johnson City or Asheville would actually find you. Then we say, in writing, whether you need a rebuild, a handful of hard technical fixes, or just the listing cleaned up. No 40-page audit that says “use H2s.”
Rebuilds state what you do, where you are, and how to reach you — then get out of the way. Local SEO means unique city pages, not the same paragraph with the town name swapped. If we are doing that work for you, you can see how we do it for ourselves on this site’s service-area pages.

Questions we get
Do you still build sites, or only IT now?
Both. The web work grew up next to the infrastructure work. We have been building and ranking sites for twenty years. Hosting can live on Trileaf / our Linux stack.
Can you just fix Google Business Profile?
Yes. Categories, hours, photos, the review path, and the junk that accumulates when three vendors have “owned” the listing. That is often the highest-ROI hour for a local shop.
Will you write a 40-page SEO audit?
No. We will tell you if the site needs a rebuild or a few hard fixes, then do those. Reports that say “use H2s” are not a product here.
What if the site is hacked?
That is WordPress incident response, not a redesign. Cleanup first. Then we talk about the next version.
Need the site to do its job?
