Creative Design & Development Studio
Custom web design & development for businesses in Cartersville, GA
Based in Cartersville, we serve businesses across the northwest Atlanta metro area that are tired of slow, generic websites. Our custom builds are designed for speed, SEO, and long-term reliability.
The Process
We keep the process straightforward and collaborative. Every project follows a clear set of steps so you always know what to expect, from the first conversation through launch.
Initial Conversation
We start with a short discussion to understand your goals, audience, and what you need from the site.
Planning & Direction
Once the scope is clear, we define the structure, features, and design direction before any development begins.
Design & Build
The site is designed and built from scratch, with a focus on performance, SEO, and long-term maintainability.
Review & Launch
You review the site, request final adjustments, and once everything is approved, we handle the launch.
Most projects take 2-4 weeks depending on scope and feedback turnaround.
Custom Website Design
We design sites around your actual content, customers, and goals. The focus is clarity, trust, and guiding visitors toward action without clutter or gimmicks.
- Page layouts tailored to your services, not templates
- Clear calls to action so visitors know what to do next
- Design decisions made for real users, not trends
- Fully responsive layouts tested on desktop and mobile
Modern Web Development
Your site is built with Next.js and React instead of WordPress. This results in faster load times, better security, and a site that does not depend on fragile plugins.
- Fast-loading pages optimized for performance
- No WordPress, page builders, or plugin lock-in
- Clean codebase that can be extended later if needed
- Stable deployment setup with minimal downtime risk
Technical SEO & Performance
Search visibility is handled at the technical level so your site is easy for search engines to understand and fast for visitors to use.
- Proper page structure and headings for search engines
- Metadata, indexing, and sitemap setup
- Performance optimizations that impact rankings
- Location-focused structure without keyword stuffing
Hosting & Ongoing Support
After launch, we can manage hosting and updates so your site stays online, secure, and up to date without you needing to handle technical details.
- Reliable hosting with monitoring in place
- Updates and small changes handled for you
- Help available if something breaks or needs adjusting
- Clear ownership and access to your site at all times
About Our Approach
We build websites with a long-term mindset. That means making deliberate decisions about structure, performance, and maintainability instead of relying on templates, plugins, or short-term shortcuts. We work primarily with businesses in and around the northwest Atlanta metro area.
Our work is built with modern tools and clean architecture so sites stay fast, secure, and easy to evolve as your business grows. We prioritize clarity in both design and implementation, which helps avoid the complexity and fragility that often comes with off-the-shelf solutions.
We believe your website should be something you understand and own, and something that still feels appropriate years from now. Decisions are made with longevity in mind, so the site can evolve without needing to be rebuilt every few years.
This approach works best for businesses that value performance, reliability, and thoughtful execution over quick fixes or visual gimmicks.
Frequent Concerns Answered
Answers to the questions we hear most often, covering timelines, pricing, and how projects typically work.
Do you use templates, WordPress, or page builders?
+
No. Every site is designed and built specifically for your business using modern tools. We do not use templates, WordPress themes, or page builders, which allows for better performance, cleaner structure, and fewer long-term issues.
How long does a typical project take?
+
Most projects take between 3 and 6 weeks depending on scope and how quickly feedback is provided. More complex builds or additional features may take longer, but timelines and milestones are always discussed up front.
How much does a website usually cost?
+
Most projects fall between $1,500 and $5,000 depending on the number of pages, design depth, and functionality. Smaller landing pages may be less, while larger or more custom projects are quoted individually after a short discussion.
Do you offer payment plans?
+
Yes. Projects are typically split into two or three payments, such as an upfront deposit and one or two milestone payments. This keeps things predictable and manageable on both sides.
Will I own my website after launch?
+
Yes. Once the project is complete and paid for, you own your website, code, and content. There is no lock-in. We can continue supporting or hosting the site if you choose, but ownership is always yours.
Can you handle hosting and ongoing maintenance?
+
Absolutely. We offer managed hosting and ongoing support, including updates, monitoring, backups, and performance tuning. This is optional, but many clients prefer having everything handled for them.
What if I need changes or updates later on?
+
Updates can be handled through an ongoing maintenance plan or on an as-needed basis. Whether it’s a small text change or a new feature, we make ongoing work straightforward and transparent.
How many design revisions are included?
+
Every project includes multiple structured revision rounds to ensure the final result feels right. The goal is clarity and alignment, not rushing through approvals.
Do I need to provide the content?
+
You can provide your own content, or we can help refine and structure it for clarity and search visibility. If additional copywriting or photography is needed, we can help coordinate that as well.
Is SEO included?
+
Yes. Technical SEO is built into every site, including clean structure, proper metadata, fast load times, and mobile optimization. Advanced SEO strategies can be discussed if needed.
Will the site work well on mobile devices?
+
Yes. Every site is designed and tested to work smoothly across modern browsers and devices, including desktop, tablet, and mobile.
Do you redesign existing websites?
+
Yes. Many projects involve rebuilding outdated or underperforming sites. We redesign and rebuild them from the ground up to improve clarity, speed, and usability.
