Websites for St. Louis small businesses

I'm Katie, a local St. Louis small business specialist. I build and rebuild sites for local service businesses and know what a site has to do on a normal working day.

Most websites take 3 to 6 weeks, and scope and price are set before I start. Websites start at $1,495.

What I build, and where prices start

Websites

From $1,495

Full rebuilds for small businesses. New structure, faster pages, and an admin you can update yourself without calling me every time a price changes.

Get Found

Google profile audit $350 · Email spam fix from $395

Your site can be perfect and still invisible. I fix the parts that decide whether people find you and whether your email reaches them: search setup, local listings, and the authentication records that keep your mail out of spam.

Apps

Priced after a scoping call

Mobile and web applications, scoped in phases. I start with the core workflow, ship it, then expand based on how people actually use it rather than what we guessed up front.

Internal Systems

Priced after a scoping call

Dashboards, intake forms, and workflow tools built around how your team actually operates. Documentation and handoff are part of the delivery, not an afterthought.

Consulting

$200/hr · AI Opportunity Audit $750

Sometimes you don't need me to build it. You need someone who has shipped it before to tell you what is worth building, what to cut, and what it will actually take. And when the problem is how your team runs, I do that too: SOPs, quality standards, and AI tools placed where they actually help.

Logo and brand

From $500

A cleaned-up version of the logo you have, or a new one, with the files you need for the web, print and social.

Ask about a logo

If your project isn't something I do, I'll point you to someone who does.

How a website project runs

  1. 1

    Scoping

    We review your current site or requirements together and agree on goals, then I send a fixed quote with a timeline.

  2. 2

    Build

    Design and development run in parallel. You review staged previews before anything goes live.

  3. 3

    Launch

    I deploy, configure analytics and search tools, and confirm everything works in production.

  4. 4

    Handoff

    You receive documentation, admin access, and a short support window for questions after launch.

Send your URL for a written review

I return a PDF covering performance, SEO, and technical issues. Turnaround is typically three to five business days. The website audit is free, and no call is required.

This covers your website. A full Google Business Profile audit is a separate $350 service.

Common questions

Short answers to what clients usually ask before a project starts.

Most website projects take 3 to 6 weeks from kickoff to launch. The timeline depends on content readiness and how quickly feedback comes back.

Yes. I am based in St. Louis and work with clients across the United States. Projects usually run through email and a few scheduled video calls.

I include a short support window for fixes and handoff questions. After that, maintenance plans start at $49 a month.

I structure pages and edit for clarity, but you provide the facts and voice. If you need a dedicated copywriter, I can refer you to people I work with.
