Websites That Bring In Calls
Your website is either bringing you calls or sending them to a competitor. I build hand-coded websites for local businesses that load fast on a phone and are built to show up on Google. No WordPress, no page builders.
Working For You, or Against You
Most local business websites run on WordPress, Wix or a drag-and-drop builder. They are quick to set up and slow to load, especially on a phone. Slow sites lose visitors, and Google notices. I write every site by hand in clean code, so it loads fast on any phone and gives Google a reason to show it. Your customers get a better first impression, and a reason to call you instead of the next result.
-
Outrank Your Competition
Google rewards pages that load fast and answer the search. I build every page for speed and write it for the service and town your customers type in, so you show up where they look.
-
Secure by Design
WordPress sites need constant plugin updates to stay safe. My sites have no plugins and no database, so there is nothing to patch and far less to attack.
-
Built for Phones First
Your customers search on their phones, and Google judges your site by its phone version first. I design for the small screen first, so every page is fast, readable and easy to tap.
-
Edits Without the Hassle
No logins and no dashboards to learn. Text or email me what you want changed, and I make the edit myself, usually the same day. On the monthly plan, edits cost nothing extra.
Real Sites, Real Scores
A roofer, a cleaning company and a fencing contractor. Different trades, same job for the website: look sharp, load fast and bring in new customers. Here are three I built. Open any of them and test it yourself.

Test Your Site, Then Test Mine
Run your current website through Google's free PageSpeed Insights and check the mobile score. Many small business sites, especially on WordPress, land in the orange or red. Every slow second sends visitors back to Google, often to a competitor. Golden Isles Fencing scores 100 on that same test, and Elite Cleaning Team scores 98.
- A faster site keeps more visitors on the page, and more visitors who stay means more calls and form requests.
- Speed counts toward your Google rankings, and a fast landing page helps your Google Ads turn clicks into customers.
- A page that loads quickly on a phone looks professional, and that builds trust before anyone picks up the phone.

See Where You Rank Across Town
The map at the top of Google is where local customers pick who to call. I check where you show up on it from 25 spots across your town, about a mile apart. Each circle is one spot. The number is your place in the list there.
- Top 3 at
- 0 of 25 spots
- Visibility
- 2 of 100
- Top 3 at
- 16 of 25 spots
- Visibility
- 60 of 100
- 1 to 3
- 4 to 6
- 7 to 10
- 11 to 20
- Not in the first 20
Example grid with illustrative numbers, not a client's real data. Visibility estimates how often you are seen across all 25 spots: 100 would mean #1 at every spot.
I'm Michael, and I build every site myself
I run Michael Web Design on my own. No agency, no account managers. I build websites for local businesses like Golden Isles Fencing & Excavation in Brunswick, Georgia.
Most owners I talk to already have a website. It looked fine on launch day. Now it is slow on a phone, Google rarely shows it, and it doesn't bring in calls.
I code every site by hand instead of using a page builder, so I control how every page loads, and I test every page on Google PageSpeed. On a phone, Golden Isles Fencing scores 100 and loads in 1.7 seconds. Elite Cleaning Team scores 98 and loads in 1.4 seconds.
Google ranks pages, not whole websites. So you get a page for each service and each town you work in, written for the people searching there.
You text me, not a support line, and I make your edits myself, usually the same day. Before we start, I show you where you rank on Google Maps across your town, so you know exactly where you stand.
It's $99 a month with $0 down and no contract. That covers the site, hosting, the security certificate and any edits you ask for.

Skip the big upfront bill. One monthly price covers the design, the build, hosting and every edit, so your cash stays in your business.

Fast on Every Phone
Every extra second a page takes, more visitors give up and call someone else. I test every page on a phone before it goes live.
-
No Contract
Stay because the site works, not because a contract says so. The monthly plan has no lock-in, so I keep earning your business every month.
Two Plans. No Surprises.

In My Clients' Own Words
Most of my clients came to me with a website they paid for once that never brought in a lead. So I build on a flat monthly rate with $0 down. I build the site the way you want it, then handle the hosting, maintenance and edits. There is no contract, so I have to keep earning your business every month. Real Google results usually take 3 to 6 months. Here is what clients say.

Michael built two websites for us and honestly the whole process was seamless. He is super professional and really easy to talk to. You rarely find this balance of high quality and fair pricing these days so I definitely recommend him.
Mark D. Construction Business Owner -
The website turned out exactly how I pictured it. Michael even went above and beyond and built a few extra pages for us that we didn't even plan on initially. If you need a site done right I highly recommend working with him.
Chris T. Small Business Owner -
Our old website sat there for years and never really brought in any business. I decided to give Michael a shot and honestly I was surprised. Around the two month mark the phone actually started ringing with new leads. It feels good to finally have a site that works.
