Websites for small business

Look the way
your work actually is.

Premium websites for trades, studios, and the people who run them — built in one to three weeks, priced like a small business can actually afford.

Most contractor sites look like they were built in 2009. Most agency quotes look like a down payment on a truck. We sit in the middle on purpose.

02 / Services

Three things, done well — not twenty things, done passably.

01

Custom websites

A site built for your business, your service area, and your phone — not a template anyone with a credit card could buy. Designed, written, and shipped by us.

02

Site refreshes

You have a site. It works, mostly. It just looks like every other business in your industry. We rebuild the look without disrupting the leads.

03

Lead-driving add-ons

Click-to-call, online booking, local SEO, review pulls from Google. The pieces that turn a website into actual phone calls.

04 / Process

Four weeks, four steps,
one site that earns its keep.

Week 01 / Discovery

We listen.

A 30-minute call. We learn what you do, who you do it for, and what the site needs to actually accomplish.

Week 02 / Design

We draw it.

A full visual mockup of your homepage. No vague wireframes — you see exactly what you're getting.

Week 03 / Build

We ship it.

Real code, real fast. Mobile-first, SEO-ready, and built so you can update it without us.

Week 04 / Launch

We hand it over.

You own the site, the domain, and the content. We're here when you want us, and out of the way when you don't.

05 / Concept work

No live clients yet — so we built three. Click through.

Concepts, not case studies — speculative builds, not live clients.

06 / About

We started ForgeHelix because the agencies that make websites look great won't quote less than $15,000 — and the people who quote less than $15,000 can't make websites look great. We split the difference, on purpose.

07 / Questions

The answers we give before you ask.

Do I own my website when we're done?
Yes — every line of it. The site, the domain, the content, the photos. You can move it, edit it, sell it, walk away from us at any time. No hostage situation.
What if I want changes after launch?
Every plan includes a post-launch tweak window (30 to 90 days). After that, simple changes are billed at $95/hr or by a flat monthly retainer if you'd prefer predictability.
Can you write the copy for me?
Yes — included on the Premium tier, optional add-on on the others. We interview you, then write words that sound like a competent human, not a chatbot.
Do you handle SEO?
Local SEO is built into every site (Google Business setup, location schema, service-area pages, fast mobile load). We don't do speculative national-keyword SEO — that's a different industry and a different bill.
How does hosting work?
First year is on us. After that, it's roughly $12/month on a fast, reliable host — or you can take it elsewhere. We don't make money on hosting markups.
What if I'm not happy with the design?
Two full design revisions are baked in. If after that we still haven't landed it, we'll have an honest conversation and a fair exit.
