You’ve Outgrown Your DIY Website. It’s time for a professional rebuild.
If your website feels cluttered, unclear, or stuck in the past, you’re not behind.
Your business has simply evolved.
I redesign small business websites with strategy, SEO, and long-term growth in mind. Especially for businesses in Baltimore, Maryland, and beyond.
Not Just a Website.
A Stronger Foundation.
This isn’t about a prettier layout.
It’s about building a website that:
- clearly explains what you do
- supports SEO and local visibility
- reflects how your business actually operates
- grows with you instead of holding you back
This is the difference between a site that feels “done” and one that quietly works for you every day.
Especially for businesses serving a specific city, region, or service area, the foundation matters more than any single design trend.
What This Work Really Is
This is foundational website research, strategy, and redesign, done together.
Think of it like hiring a digital contractor.
I assess what you’re working with, identify what’s holding your site back, and create a plan that makes sense for where your business is now, not where it was years ago.
Sometimes that means a focused rebuild.
Sometimes it means reworking structure, SEO, and content alongside the design.
Sometimes it means simplifying what’s already there.
What it never is:
- a rushed build
- a one-size-fits-all template
- or a handoff with no explanation
We rebuild with intention so your website can grow with you instead of needing another overhaul a year from now.
What’s Included
Every redesign starts with deep research. From there, your project may include:
- Website + SEO foundation research
- Messaging and structure refinement
- Navigation and hierarchy cleanup
- Local SEO signals for your service area
- Design updates that support usability
- A rebuild aligned with how you work now
No templates. No rushed builds. No guessing.
Small Business Websites I’ve Helped Design
Finally, A Web Designer Who Actually Gets Small Business
I’ve spent over a decade in websites, SEO, and digital strategy.
I take on one to two client at a time so this work stays intentional, collaborative, and human.
Clients come back because I:
- explain what I’m doing and why
- don’t disappear after launch
- design for real-world use
- stay accessible and supportive
This is long-term partnership work, not churn-and-burn builds.
How It Works
- You start with a short intake so I understand your business, goals, and location.
- We review what’s working, what’s not, and what’s holding your site back.
- I recommend the scope of work that actually makes sense.
- We rebuild your website with strategy, SEO, and structure working together.
You’re never guessing where things stand.
You’re never left in the dark.
Common Questions Before a Website Redesign
Clear answers so you can decide without guessing.
What does a website redesign with you actually include?
A website redesign with me is strategic from the start.
We look at your structure, messaging, navigation, SEO foundations, and how people actually move through your site. I’m not just changing how things look. I’m rebuilding the way your website works so it supports the business you’re running now.
Strategy, clarity, and SEO are always part of the process. Design is just one layer of the work.
How long does a website redesign usually take?
Most projects run around three months, sometimes shorter, sometimes longer depending on scope.
I work at a steady, thoughtful pace so decisions are clear and nothing feels rushed. This allows space to adjust, refine, and build something solid instead of pushing out something fast that needs fixing later.
Good websites are built with intention, not urgency.
Do I need to be involved every step of the way?
Not constantly.
I design my process around the reality that my clients have businesses, families, and full lives. I’ll ask for your input at key moments, but I handle the heavy lifting so you’re not managing the project day to day.
You stay informed and involved without having to micromanage or pause your life to get a website done.
Is SEO included in your website redesign work?
Yes. Always.
SEO and structure are foundational to how I build websites. That includes on-page SEO, site hierarchy, navigation, and local visibility considerations when relevant.
For businesses in Baltimore, Maryland, or serving specific regions, local SEO is built into the strategy. The goal is a website that can be found and understood, not just admired.
Do you work with clients outside of Baltimore?
Yes.
I’m based in Baltimore and work closely with local Maryland businesses, but I also work with clients nationwide. The process stays personal and one-on-one no matter where you’re located.
Local strategy still matters if you serve a specific city or region, even if your work extends beyond it. We build for both when it makes sense.
Still not sure what you need? Share where your site is struggling and I will help you figure out your best starting point.
