Custom-built websites for North Port businesses, by people who actually live on the Suncoast.

Yes — the entire Suncoast is our service area, and North Port specifically is one of the fastest-growing parts of it. We're ~24 miles north in Sarasota, which is fifteen minutes on US-41 or twenty on I-75. Most of our client work happens over Zoom anyway, and the local-SEO + content work we do for a North Port business is identical whether we're sitting in Wellen Park or in our office.

Most North Port small business websites range from $1,500 to $5,000 for a one-time custom build (lease-to-own available for builds $2,500+: $500 setup + cash price ÷ 24 monthly). Every build requires one of three Hosting & Maintenance tiers: Foundation ($150/mo), Growth ($300/mo), or Authority ($600/mo with full Local SEO + Google Business Profile management). Custom AI chatbot is bundled free with every site we build.

Two to four weeks for most Starter and Standard projects. Custom-tier builds with integrations typically run 6-10 weeks. The single biggest schedule variable is how fast you can get us content and decisions — we move at whatever pace your input allows.

If your customers find you through Google, yes. North Port is competitive — for most service categories there are dozens of established businesses with optimized Google Business Profiles, schema markup, and review velocity. Local SEO is what gets you into the local three-pack and the AI-generated answers that increasingly replace traditional search results.

Yes — migrations off template builders are one of our most common project types. We rebuild on our hand-coded PHP foundation, set up 301 redirects from every old URL to the new equivalent, preserve your existing SEO equity, and migrate forms / analytics / domain. You keep ownership of everything; no platform lock-in this time.

Limited scope — we'll set up and audit campaigns, but we don't do ongoing daily ads management. Most North Port businesses we work with are better served by fixing their organic/GBP fundamentals first; paid ads are a band-aid for poor organic, and we'll tell you that honestly. If you need full ads management, we'll recommend a specialist partner.

Every North Port website we build requires one of three Hosting & Maintenance tiers, picked at launch and upgradeable/downgradeable anytime. Foundation ($150/mo) covers managed hosting, daily backups, security + uptime monitoring, AI chatbot tuning, and 45 min/month of minor content edits. Growth ($300/mo) adds 4 hrs/month of edits + monthly blog post + quarterly performance reports. Authority ($600/mo) adds the full Local SEO + Google Business Profile management service.

Small to medium custom e-commerce, yes — anything from a handful of products to a few hundred. For very high-SKU stores (1000+) we typically recommend Shopify with our team doing the custom theme and integration work, because that's what Shopify is genuinely good at.

You take everything. The code, the database, the domain, the hosting credentials, the GBP — it's all yours from day one. Hand-coded means another developer can pick it up. There's no proprietary platform you're locked into. We've never had a client leave, but the option is yours always.

Both matter and they're increasingly the same work. Google's AI Overviews are eating the top of search results pages, and ChatGPT / Claude / Perplexity are growing fast as the first place people ask questions. The good news: the fundamentals that make you rank well organically also make AI engines recommend you. Concrete content, real third-party citations, complete structured data, consistent NAP — same playbook, both audiences. The bad news: agencies that haven't adjusted are wasting their clients' time on tactics that worked in 2019.
