Web design in Portland, ME
Websites for Portland, Maine businesses that need more calls, bookings and enquiries, designed, hosted, optimized for search and kept up to date by one team.
Website design for Portland businesses
If you run a business in Portland, Maine, your customers are already searching for you. Portland is Maine's largest city, a working harbor and food-and-brewery destination on Casco Bay, so the competition for attention in Old Port and West End is real, and a slow or dated website quietly sends enquiries to the next result.
Local businesses here, especially restaurants and cafes, small hotels, B&Bs and vacation rentals and coaches and consultants, win work when the website answers three questions fast: what you do, where you work and how to reach you. That is what we design every Portland site around, with hosting and updates included.
One team for your Portland website, hosting and SEO
Website design & development
A custom, mobile-first site that explains what you do for Portland customers and makes the next step obvious.
Local SEO
On-page SEO and Google Business Profile setup, so people searching near you in Portland find you first.
eCommerce
Online stores with Stripe or PayPal checkout, for Portland businesses that sell locally or ship nationwide.
Mobile website upgrade
Most local searches happen on a phone. We make an existing site fast and easy to use on every screen.
Hosting & maintenance
US hosting, SSL, daily backups and unlimited updates, all included in the yearly package.
AI website upgrade
An AI assistant that answers questions and captures leads while your Portland team is busy or closed.
Flat-fee web design vs agencies and freelancers in Portland
Before they call us, Portland businesses have usually priced a freelancer, an agency and a do-it-yourself builder, and found each one leaves a gap. We publish one price, give you a named contact, and include hosting, SSL, backups and unlimited updates for twelve months.
Agencies often quote $5,000–$15,000 up front. If you already have a site that struggles on mobile or does not bring in enquiries, ask about the $1,700 AI Website Upgrade; new businesses usually take the complete package. Either way, you can book a short call or pay $49 to start and the rest after your website is live.
