Small business service pageReviewed Sep 20, 2026Direct public proof

Clear scope. Fast first review.

Each project is built around the business's actual services, proof, and approved tools. The signed agreement controls pages, copy, integrations, timing, and deliverables.

Hand-coded

Every line of HTML and CSS is written by us. No page builders, cleaner code, and lean mobile performance.

Decision clarity

Page hierarchy, proof, service details, and calls to action are organized around the questions a prospective customer needs answered.

Ownership after payment

Upon full payment, the client receives the website files and project assets. No proprietary CMS lock-in, and builds that include a custom CMS hand over the editor with the site. If support changes later, the finished site can move with the client.

Direct public small-business work.

These are named client projects built by TMN. The case-study links explain the work. The live-site link lets buyers verify the public credit directly.

Small businesses we build for.

From owner-operators to teams under 50 employees. The signed scope determines which services, locations, proof, tools, and next steps the site needs to explain.

Local service businesses

Plumbers, electricians, HVAC teams, roofers, landscapers, and cleaners. Service-area pages, approved project galleries, forms, and review links can be included.

Brick-and-mortar & retail

Boutique shops, bakeries, restaurants, gyms, studios, and salons. Approved hours, menus, ordering links, gift cards, maps, and event information can be scoped.

Professional services

Accountants, lawyers, financial planners, insurance brokers. Factual copy prepared for the client's review, intake paths, calendar booking, and credibility signals first.

Contractors & trades

General contractors, custom builders, remodelers, fence builders, and deck builders. Approved project galleries, financing links, service areas, and quote-request paths can be included.

B2B small businesses

Manufacturers, distributors, fabricators, specialty suppliers. Product catalogs, capability statements, RFQ forms, certifications, and trade-show presence.

Family-run businesses

Multi-generation businesses, family farms, and neighborhood shops. The design can preserve the real company history while making current services and ownership clear.

Light ecommerce

Shopify, BigCommerce, or hosted Stripe checkout can be considered for a contained catalog. Product count, checkout, customer accounts, email automation, taxes, and fulfillment are separate scope decisions.

Membership & subscription

Membership and recurring-payment requirements can be scoped around an approved provider. Portals, gated content, billing logic, user accounts, and support needs affect price and timing.

Owner-operators & solopreneurs

One-person businesses with a defined offer. The site can make the founder, services, proof, and contact path clear without presenting the business as larger than it is.

Choose what the business actually needs.

Every build gets a clear mobile inquiry path. Integrations and local-search work are scoped around the client's tools, access, and approved requirements.

Accounting provider connections

Approved payment links, invoice links, or customer portals can be connected when supported by QuickBooks, Xero, FreshBooks, Wave, or another provider. Custom data flows require separate technical scope.

Email marketing connections

Approved opt-ins and forms can route to Mailchimp, ConvertKit, Brevo, ActiveCampaign, or Constant Contact. Automation, segmentation, consent language, and measurement depend on scope and provider support.

Calendar & appointment booking

Calendly, Acuity, Square Appointments, or another approved provider can be linked or embedded when included in scope. Account access, calendars, permissions, and plan limits apply.

Google Business Profile connection

Maps embeds, business details, and review-request paths can be connected when the profile and approved source data are available. Structured review markup is used only where the page and source support it.

Stripe / Square payments

Approved hosted checkout, payment links, invoices, deposits, gift cards, or donations can be connected without collecting card details in the marketing site's own forms.

Local SEO + AI-readable structure

Semantic HTML, visible service answers, location clarity, internal links, and supported business or service schema are included only when the approved scope and visible facts support them. Profile and directory work is scoped separately. No search ranking or AI recommendation outcome is guaranteed.

Reviews & trust signals

Approved reviews, third-party links, awards, badges, testimonials, and customer logos can be placed when the source and usage rights are clear. Structured review markup is used only where the source and page type support it.

Mobile-first performance

Hand-coded HTML and CSS with a strong mobile Core Web Vitals target. Hosting, content, third-party scripts, and later changes still affect measured performance.

Ownership after payment

Upon full payment, the client receives the website files and project assets. No proprietary CMS lock-in. If support changes later, the finished site can move with the client.

Flat-fee small business web design. No retainers.

All tiers include mobile optimization and project-file ownership after full payment. SEO, schema, integrations, accessibility, and industry-specific review requirements depend on the approved scope.

Starter Refresh

Single-page small business homepage. Approved scope can include a hero, services, social proof, contact form, and map embed. The first paid draft typically targets 72 hours after kickoff. Final launch depends on content, integrations, review requirements, and approvals.

$2,250

Full Site Rebuild

Multi-page rebuild with services, about, team, blog, and contact pages. Search foundations, structured data, and migration work are included only when listed in the approved scope. Search rankings can change after any migration.

$3,750

Custom Studio Build

Larger small businesses with multiple service areas, custom integrations, e-commerce light, or membership functionality. Custom strategy, dedicated founder engagement.

$5,000+

Common questions from small business owners.

Answers to what we hear from owner-operators and small business teams when they reach out.

How much does a small business website cost?

TMN small business website projects start at $2,250 for a Starter Refresh, $3,750 for a Full Site Rebuild, and $5,000 for a Custom Studio Build. Pages, copy, forms, maps, integrations, ecommerce, search work, and migration work are included only when listed in the signed scope. Optional site care starts at $50 per month. See the small business website cost guide for a fuller breakdown.

Why pay a designer instead of using Wix or Squarespace myself?

DIY platforms can be practical for a simple launch. A hand-coded build is useful when distinct design, lean delivery, ownership after full payment, and a buyer path tailored to the business matter. Performance still depends on content, hosting, third-party scripts, and ongoing changes. TMN does not promise a conversion rate or payback period.

How long does it take to build a small business website?

Starter Refresh and Full Site Rebuild first drafts typically target 72 hours after kickoff. Custom Studio Build first reviews typically target 7 to 10 days. Final launch depends on content, integrations, review requirements, revisions, and approvals.

Do you connect QuickBooks, Mailchimp, Stripe, or Shopify?

TMN can connect approved accounting, payment, ecommerce, email, scheduling, analytics, and advertising providers after confirming the signed scope, client account, access, security requirements, APIs, consent needs, and plan limits. A link or hosted checkout is different from a custom integration, and the exact method is confirmed before the build.

Do I own the website after you build it?

After full payment for a completed project, the client receives the website files and assets created for the project, subject to the signed agreement. Domains, third-party accounts, licensed assets, hosting, integrations, and ongoing services remain governed by their providers and separate terms.

Are TMN Creative small business sites structured for AI-assisted search?

When included in scope, TMN can use semantic HTML, clear visible answers, internal links, descriptive metadata, and supported Organization, LocalBusiness, or Service structured data that matches the page. These are useful clarity and crawlability foundations, but they do not guarantee search rankings, citations, inclusion in AI answers, or recommendations.

Will I lose my Google rankings if I switch from Wix or Squarespace?

Search rankings can change before or after any migration. When included in scope and supported by access, TMN can inventory current URLs, map approved redirects, preserve supported metadata and content, and monitor Search Console. TMN does not guarantee ranking retention or improvement.
