Custom Website Design for Small Businesses in Delaware
A website is only worth it if it brings in business. So I start by learning what you want more of, then build a fast, custom site around that. Every site is hand-coded for your business, with no templates and no page builders.
And if I find the site you have just needs a few fixes, I will tell you that too.

What a Custom Site Actually Looks Like
I built a custom website for Delaware Valley Hardwoods, a hardwood flooring company here in Wilmington. Here's how it performed.
Working with a smaller budget?
Not every business needs a site that size. For DiNetta Property Management, a family-owned lawn care business in New Castle County, I built a single fast page with a real lead-capture form. It scores 99 on PageSpeed for both mobile and desktop and runs at $0 a month on a stack the owner controls. Read the DiNetta case study.
Who This Is For
Established businesses that want the website to bring in work
You already have customers and a good reputation. The question is whether your website helps new people find you and call. I start there, and build what gets you that.
Businesses that need more than a template
If you've outgrown Wix or Squarespace and want something custom-built with real performance and SEO results, that's where I come in.
Businesses that need more than a website
Sometimes the right answer is a custom tool, a calculator, or a dashboard. I have spent 25 years running the digital side of a successful online business, so I think about what the tool needs to do for you, not just how it looks.
Nonprofits and community organizations
I work with organizations doing meaningful work in our community. If budget is a concern, check out my Community Website Sponsorship Program.
Why I Build Custom Instead of Using Templates
A lot of web designers will put your logo on a WordPress theme and call it a custom site. I don't do that. Every website I build is coded from scratch, and here's why that matters for your business.
Faster Load Times
No bloated plugins or unnecessary code. My sites consistently score 95+ on Google PageSpeed, which means faster experiences for your visitors and better search rankings.
Better SEO Results
Clean code, proper heading structure, structured data, and fast page speeds are the foundation of good SEO. These aren't add-ons. They're built in from day one.
You Own Everything
No proprietary platforms or lock-in. Your site is yours. No monthly fees you can't get out of, no hostage situations with your own content.

Website Design FAQ
How much does a custom website cost?
Starter websites start at $1,500 for a professional one-page site. Business websites start at $2,000 for a multi-page site with enhanced SEO and lead capture. Custom projects with advanced features start at $5,000. You'll always get a fixed price upfront before any work begins.
How long does it take to build a website?
Starter websites are typically completed in 7 to 10 business days. Business websites usually go live within 2 to 3 weeks. Custom projects vary based on scope, but I'll give you a clear timeline in your proposal.
Do you use WordPress or website templates?
No. Every site I build is custom-coded from scratch. That means faster load times, better SEO performance, and a design that's unique to your business. No generic templates, no bloated plugins.
Will my website show up on Google?
Every site I build includes a strong SEO foundation: clean code, fast page speeds, proper heading structure, meta tags, and structured data. For my Delaware Valley Hardwoods client, the site held the top spot on Google for "floor refinishing" over the summer of 2026 and ranked on the first page for refinishing searches in Greenville, Pike Creek, and North Wilmington, without any paid advertising.
What if I already have a website that needs updating?
That's exactly what my website redesign service is for. I can modernize your existing site to improve its design, performance, and mobile experience.
Do I own my website when it's done?
Yes. When the project is complete, the website is yours. I don't lock you into proprietary platforms or ongoing contracts. You own the code, the design, and the content.
What if I am not sure a new website is the answer?
Then let us find out first. If your site is solid but not showing up on Google, my SEO audit may be the better place to start. If you are running ads, the problem might be there. I would rather point you to the right fix than build something you did not need.
