Most small business websites aren't working
You either built something yourself on Wix or Squarespace and it never really took off, or you paid someone who gave you a template site that looks like every other business in your industry. Either way, your phone isn't ringing because of your website.
The problem usually isn't that you don't have a website. It's that the one you have is slow, hard to use on a phone, invisible to Google, or doesn't tell visitors what to do next. A website like that isn't helping you. It's costing you customers.
Kentucky has over 400,000 small businesses. The ones getting found online have websites that load fast, give visitors a clear next step, and are set up so Google can actually understand what they do. That's what Studio 925 builds.
What makes a Studio 925 website different
Every website is custom-built. No templates. No page builders. Here's what that means for your business.
Custom code, not templates
Your website is written from scratch. That means it loads faster, ranks better, and doesn't look like the same Squarespace template your competitor uses.
Direct communication
You talk to the person building your site. No account managers, no project coordinators, no game of telephone. One person, start to finish.
Built to bring in calls
A clear next step on every page. Easy-to-find contact info. A layout that guides visitors toward calling you or filling out a form.
Who this is built for
Studio 925 works best for small businesses that need a website to attract local customers. If any of these describe you, we're a good fit.
Real websites for real businesses
Every project in my portfolio was built for a real business with real goals. CS Media needed a site to bring in new business for their media brand. Four Chariots needed an online store that reflected their brand. Townly was built to connect a local community with local businesses.
None of these are template sites. None of them use page builders. They're all custom-built, fast, and designed around each business's specific customers and goals.

Frequently asked questions
Honest answers to common questions about working with Studio 925.
Do I need to be in Grayson County to work with Studio 925?
No. I'm based in Grayson County but work with small businesses across all of Kentucky. Everything is handled remotely. A quick call, email, or text is all we need to get started. You don't need to be local to get a great website.
What kind of businesses do you build websites for?
Contractors, service providers, retail shops, restaurants, healthcare practices, real estate agents, and e-commerce businesses. If you're a small business that needs more customers from the internet, I can help.
Why hire a solo developer instead of an agency?
With an agency, you pay for office space, project managers, and salespeople. None of those improve your website. With one person doing the work, every dollar goes into the design and the build. You also talk directly to the person building your site, which means faster communication and fewer misunderstandings.
What's the difference between your plans?
Foundation ($900) is up to 5 pages, built to make sure customers can find your business when they search your name. Growth ($1,800) is up to 10 pages and starts with a hands-on SEO audit, then builds dedicated service pages, analytics, and lead tracking around real local search behavior. Online Store ($2,600) is up to 15 pages and includes everything in Growth plus a full online store with payments and customer management.
Can you redesign my existing website?
Yes. Many clients come to me with an outdated Wix, Squarespace, or WordPress site that isn't bringing them business. I rebuild it from scratch. Faster, better set up for Google, and designed to actually get people to reach out.
What happens after my website launches?
You can manage it on your own (you own all the files), or choose a hosting plan. Basic hosting is $25/month. Full support is $49/month, which covers content updates, text edits, and ongoing SEO work.
Can I just use Wix or Squarespace for my small business?
You can, and for some businesses, a DIY builder is fine. But free plans come with platform branding, limited SEO, slower speeds, and a generic look. If your website needs to compete in local search and turn visits into actual customers, a custom-built site will outperform a template every time.
How do I create a website for my small business?
You have two paths: build it yourself with a platform like Wix or Squarespace (takes 10–20+ hours of your time), or hire someone to handle everything. Studio 925 builds custom websites starting at $900. You get a working draft in 48 hours and launch within 1–2 weeks, with zero homework on your end.
