Web design · Hickory & the Catawba Valley

Decades of reputation deserve a website to match

Hickory is full of businesses that have been around for decades: family contractors, manufacturers, and shops passed down a generation. Many still have websites that don't come close to what they've built. I help fix that.

The common problem

When your business is established but your website isn't

Long-standing businesses often have the same problem: the site went up years ago, the person who built it moved on, and nobody wants to touch it. Meanwhile, customers, buyers, and job applicants are all checking it before they reach out.

A new site should explain what you do in plain language, show the work and history you’re proud of, and make it easy to contact the right person.

Who your site is for

Built for more than sales

For customers

Clear services, real photos, and a phone number that’s easy to tap.

For buyers and partners

What you make or do, who you serve, and why you’re reliable, laid out so a buyer can follow it quickly.

For hiring

A careers page that shows what it’s like to work for you, because good people check your website too.

Questions

Common questions

Is Hickory too far from Statesville?

Not for the way I work. We'll meet over video, and I'm glad to drive over for a kickoff when it helps.

We're a manufacturer, not a retail business. Do you work with B2B companies?

Yes. The goal is the same: help the right people understand what you do and reach out. The audience is just different.

Our site has a lot of old pages. What happens to them?

I map your old pages to the new ones and set up redirects, so links and rankings carry over.

Can someone on our team make updates after launch?

Yes. Your site is built so your team can edit text and photos without calling anyone. A Care Plan covers the rest if you'd rather hand it off.
