What our clients say

Real projects, real results, real people.

"The restaurant itself is beautiful, but our old site made it look like a chain. Jarred built something that finally matches the atmosphere inside these walls. Now people book before they even walk in."

Owner, Ember & Oak Steakhouse
"Our users live on their phones and the old site was unusable on mobile. Jarred rebuilt the entire front end — it looks incredible and actually works where our audience is."

Questions we hear from Shelby business owners

How much does a website cost?

Every project is custom-quoted based on scope. We build from scratch — no templates — so pricing reflects what your business actually needs. Reach out and we'll give you a straight number, not a sales pitch.

How long does it take?

Most projects go from first call to live site in about 14 days. Complex builds may take longer, but we'll give you a clear timeline upfront.

Do I own my website?

Yes. You own your domain, hosting, source code, and every asset. No monthly fees unless you want ongoing support. It's your business, it should be your website.

Do you work with businesses outside Shelby?

Absolutely. We serve Cleveland County, Kings Mountain, Forest City, Rutherfordton, Gastonia, and throughout North Carolina. Everything is done remotely with recorded walkthroughs.

What kind of businesses do you work with?

Restaurants, retail shops, professional services, nonprofits, and startups. We've built sites for steakhouses, bakeries, arcades, game platforms, SaaS companies, and more.

What if I already have a website?

We handle migrations from Wix, Squarespace, WordPress, or any platform. We'll preserve your SEO, move your content, and make sure nothing breaks in the transition.

Ready for a website that actually works for your business?

Tell us about your business. We'll tell you exactly what we'd build and how long it'll take. Free. No strings.
