There are over 100,000 small businesses in Rhode Island, and the majority still don't have a website that works for them. Some have nothing at all. Others are stuck with a slow WordPress site from 2016 or a Facebook page they assume is enough.
Here's the problem: when someone in Cranston searches "mechanic near me" or a couple in Newport looks for "best nail salon," Google serves up businesses with real websites first. If you're not there, you're invisible. Your competitor down the street gets that customer instead.
I build websites specifically for Rhode Island small businesses. Not template sites, not page builders, not overpriced agency work. Custom-coded, fast-loading sites designed to bring in customers from day one. I'm based right here in Providence, and I work directly with business owners face-to-face.

Websites Built for Real RI Businesses
These aren't concepts or mockups. These are real websites I built for real business owners right here in Rhode Island.
SHP Performance
SHP Performance needed a site that matched the quality of their work. I built a mobile-first site with Twilio SMS integration so the owner gets a text message the instant a customer fills out the contact form. No more missed leads sitting in an email inbox.
Charming Nail
The owner was paying $470 a month for a Booker subscription just for online booking. I built a full-service salon site with an inline booking system built right into the page. Same functionality, zero monthly cost.
The Barber Studio
Dark, bold design with a hand-drawn SVG crest and custom stroke animations. Built to stand out from every cookie-cutter salon site in the state.
The Gentleman's Cut
A bold single-page site with Yelp reviews pulled in automatically and click-to-call CTAs on every section. Designed to convert mobile visitors into booked appointments.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a website cost for a small business in Rhode Island?
Most small business websites run between $1,500 and $5,000 depending on the features you need. A simple brochure site with a contact form is on the lower end. If you need booking systems, SMS integration, or e-commerce, expect to invest more. Unlike agencies that charge $10,000+, I work directly with business owners to keep costs reasonable without cutting corners on quality.
Do I need a website if I already have a Facebook page?
Yes. A Facebook page is useful, but you don't own it, you can't control how it looks, and Facebook limits how many of your followers see your posts unless you pay for ads. A website is your own property on the internet. It shows up in Google searches, it works 24/7, and it makes your business look legitimate. Most customers check a business's website before visiting, and if you don't have one, they go to the competitor who does.
How long does it take to build a website?
Most sites go live within 1 to 2 weeks from our first conversation. Simple sites with a few pages can be done in under a week. More complex projects with booking systems or custom features might take 2 to 3 weeks. I don't drag projects out for months the way bigger agencies do.
Will my website show up on Google for Rhode Island searches?
Every site I build is optimized for local search from the start. That means proper page titles, meta descriptions, structured data, fast load times, and mobile-friendly design. I also set up your Google Business Profile connection. Getting to page one takes time and depends on your industry, but the technical foundation will be solid from day one.
Can you redesign my existing website?
Absolutely. Many of my clients come to me with outdated sites built on WordPress or Wix that are slow, not mobile-friendly, or just look dated. I rebuild your site from scratch with clean code, modern design, and the features your business actually needs. You keep your domain and won't lose any search ranking in the process.
