Starter Site in Atlanta
Professional starter site services for Atlanta businesses. Strategy, execution, and results.
What's Included
Every Starter Site comes with the same professional foundation, whether you are a solo practitioner in Decatur or a growing team in Grant Park.
- 5 custom-designed pages. Home, About, Services, Contact, and one page of your choice. Portfolio, testimonials, pricing, FAQ, team page, or whatever fits your business.
- Custom design. Built around your brand identity. Your colors, your style, your photography. No one else has the same site because no one else gets a template with your logo dropped in.
- Working contact form. Tested and delivering to your inbox before we hand off the site. We verify delivery so you never miss a lead because of a broken form.
- Mobile-first responsive design. Designed for phones first, then scaled up to tablets and desktops. In Atlanta, mobile traffic is your primary traffic. Your site will be built for that reality.
- SEO foundation. Title tags, meta descriptions, heading hierarchy, image alt text, sitemap, and structured data. You get the technical base that makes it possible to rank locally. Ranking takes time, but without the foundation, it never happens.
- Performance optimization. Server-side rendering, image optimization, code splitting, lazy loading. Your site will score 90 or higher on Google PageSpeed Insights without additional optimization work.
- SSL certificate. HTTPS from day one. Google requires it for ranking. Your customers expect it for trust.
- Analytics integration. Google Analytics or a privacy-focused alternative connected at launch so you can track visitors, traffic sources, and engagement from the start.
- Hosting setup. We deploy your site and walk you through the hosting environment. Hosting runs $0 to $20 per month depending on your provider and traffic.
- Full ownership. The code, the design, and the content are yours. No platform lock-in, no monthly fees to us, no restrictions on what you do with your site. You can hire any developer in the future and hand them the full source code.
Who the Starter Site Is Built For in Atlanta
The Starter Site is designed for businesses that need a real website without a real estate-sized budget. These are the businesses we work with most in Atlanta.
Home services. Plumbers, electricians, landscapers, and handymen serving neighborhoods across the metro. You get work through referrals and Google searches. A fast-loading site with your service area, a list of what you do, and a contact form turns those searches into calls.
Restaurants and food businesses. New spots in East Atlanta Village, catering operations in Kirkwood, food trucks making the rounds across the metro. You need a menu, your hours, your location, and a way for people to reach you for catering inquiries or event bookings.
Beauty and grooming. Barbers, stylists, nail techs, and estheticians across Atlanta. Your Instagram drives awareness, but when someone wants to book or check your pricing, they search your name. A Starter Site gives them a professional landing page that reinforces the quality of your work.
Professional services. Attorneys, accountants, financial advisors, and consultants in Decatur and across the metro. Your credibility depends on what people find when they search your name. A five-page professional site costs less than a single newspaper ad and works 24 hours a day.
Health and wellness. Chiropractors, therapists, personal trainers, and wellness coaches in Grant Park, West End, and surrounding neighborhoods. You need your credentials, your services, your approach, and a way for clients to reach you. The Starter Site covers all of it.
Creative professionals. Photographers, videographers, DJs, event planners, and designers across Atlanta's creative economy. A portfolio site that loads fast and presents your work cleanly is the difference between landing the gig and losing it to someone with better presentation.
Real estate professionals. Independent agents and small teams serving the Atlanta market. Your brokerage page is not enough. A personal site with your listings, your neighborhoods, your story, and your contact information builds the personal brand that drives referrals.
Churches and community organizations. Small congregations and community groups in West End, East Atlanta Village, and across the metro that need a web presence for events, service times, and community outreach. A Starter Site is the right size for organizations that need an online home without the complexity of a large platform.
New businesses. If you are launching in Atlanta and need to be online before you open your doors, three days is the timeline. Your site can be live before your signage is installed.
What to Expect
Three business days, structured to get the most done with the least of your time.
Day 1: Intake and Design Direction. You complete a focused intake form covering your business, your audience, and your visual preferences. We review your materials, establish a design direction, and begin building your page layouts. If you have a logo, photos, and brand colors, we move immediately into design. If you need help with any of those, we provide guidance and recommendations.
Day 2: Development and Review. We build out all five pages on Next.js, integrate your contact form, optimize your images, set up your SEO elements, and connect your analytics. You receive a preview link to review the full site. We build in time for feedback and revisions. You tell us what to adjust, and we make the changes.
Day 3: Final Revisions and Launch. We apply your feedback, run mobile and performance testing, configure your domain, enable SSL, and push the site live. We confirm that your contact form delivers correctly, your analytics are tracking, and your site loads fast on mobile. You get a brief walkthrough so you know what you have and how to request changes in the future.
