Ready-to-launch website refreshes for local businesses
The situation
Great businesses deserve better online first impressions.
Many local businesses have loyal customers, good reviews, and strong reputations in real life. But when new customers look them up, the website may not make the same impression. A focused refresh helps the online experience better match the business people already know and trust.
What's included
A focused website refresh, not a giant agency project.
Here's what every project includes — no hidden scope, no upsell pressure.
Finished website
A complete, functional site — not a wireframe or mockup. Real pages, real content, ready to go live.
Mobile-friendly layout
Looks right on a phone, tablet, and desktop. No pinching and zooming. Built mobile-first.
Business info organized clearly
Hours, services, location, and what makes the business worth visiting — all easy to find.
Contact & location details
Phone, email, address, directions link. The things people look for when they're ready to reach out.
One revision round
After the initial build, one full round of changes. Real revisions, not minor tweaks.
Launch support
Help connecting the new site to your domain and getting it live. No flying blind.
30-day tune-up
After launch, small fixes for 30 days. Typos, hours changes, a missing phone number — handled.
The differentiator
Built before you decide.
For many outreach projects, I build a working version first. That means you can see the site before deciding whether to use it. If it feels like a good fit, I can help connect it to your current domain and get it live quickly.
See how it worksThe math
Why the price is approachable.
Traditional custom redesigns can get expensive because they often start from zero: branding, copywriting, strategy, design direction, photography, and multiple rounds of planning. This service is different. It is built for established local businesses where much of the identity already exists. The scope is focused, the process is efficient, and the site is built before you have to decide.
Starts from zero: strategy sessions, discovery phases, copywriting, photography, multiple design rounds, contract negotiations. The price reflects the process — not just the site.
Built for businesses where the identity already exists. The scope is focused, the process is efficient, and you see the work before you decide. One price. No surprises.
The platform is cheap — maybe even free. But it requires design judgment, copywriting, hours of setup, and ongoing attention you probably don't have. Many owners start and abandon them.
The process
How it works.
Review
I look at your current site and what's already out there — Google listing, reviews, photos, social.
Build
I build a working, mobile-friendly version of your site from what I found. No meeting required.
Revise
You see the site and tell me what needs to change. One full revision round is included.
Launch
We connect the new site to your domain. I'll walk you through it or handle it with your help.
Tune Up
Small fixes for 30 days after launch. Hours, content updates, anything small that comes up.
You do not need to email passwords. When possible, launch is handled through guided setup or safe collaborator access.
Right fit
Built for established local businesses.
If your business has been around long enough to earn real customers and real reviews — but your website hasn't kept up — this service is for you.
What these businesses have in common: a real reputation their website hasn't caught up with yet.

About Gustavo
Built from the road, for businesses rooted in their communities.
I'm Gustavo, a web developer who travels full-time and spends time in all types of cities across the country. One thing I keep noticing is that many great local businesses have loyal customers, strong reputations, and years of real-world trust — but their websites do not always reflect that. I built this service to offer those businesses a practical way to get a better online first impression without a big agency project.
I travel, but your business is the focus.
Questions
Questions, answered.
Yes, it's a real, custom-built website — not a drag-and-drop template you maintain yourself. I build it from scratch using your business's existing information, photos, and identity. You get a real website with a real domain.
Because the scope is focused and the process is efficient. I build sites for established local businesses where the identity already exists — I don't start from zero with branding workshops and strategy sessions. The work is real; the overhead just isn't there.
For many outreach projects, no. I build a working version first, then show it to you. If you like it and want it live, getting it connected to your domain is a simple next step. If it's not the right fit, there's no charge.
One full round of revisions after the initial build. You can change copy, photos, colors, layout adjustments, add or remove sections — the scope of a full review. It's not limited to minor tweaks, but it also isn't open-ended.
Small fixes for 30 days are included — typos, hours updates, a phone number change. After that, I offer an optional monthly care plan or you can handle updates yourself or through someone else. No lock-in.
Not typically. When possible, I handle launch through guided setup or safe collaborator access. I'll walk you through what's needed and explain why each step matters. Your account security stays with you.
Hours, a typo, swapping a photo, updating contact info, fixing a broken link — that kind of thing. Adding new pages, redesigning sections, or adding new features isn't a small tweak, but we can discuss it.
Full rebrands, custom photography, ecommerce, online ordering, booking systems, heavy copywriting, complex integrations, and unlimited revisions. These are real things some businesses need — but they're separate from this focused service.
