What we do

We take three things off your plate, so you can put them down

Most sites get built first and thought about second. We research before we design, do the ongoing work that gives you a real shot at ranking, and put a system behind the leads so none of them go cold.

01 · Build

We build the site, so you have somewhere worth sending people

Hand-built WordPress, no page-builder bloat. Fast on a phone at a job site, and structured around what your customers type into Google.

  • Custom design, up to 8 core pages
  • On-site SEO before launch, not after
  • Live in two to three weeks
See how we build

02 · Get found

We do the SEO work, so you have a real shot at ranking

Where you rank depends on your reviews, your competition and your market, and nobody honest controls that. What we control is the work, and we keep doing it after month two.

  • Google Business Profile setup and ongoing optimization
  • Automated review requests through GoHighLevel
  • Reputation management, so reviews get answered
  • A new post every month, written for search
See the SEO package

03 · Follow up

We catch the leads, so none of them sit in an inbox

Campaigns pointed at a landing page built for one job, with a sales pipeline and texting automations behind it. You get a text the moment someone comes in.

  • Google and Meta campaigns
  • Landing page built to convert
  • Sales pipeline and texting automations in GoHighLevel
  • A text every time a lead comes in

Featured build

A veteran-owned electrician up against every big name in Lee County

JMW Electric · Fort Myers, veteran and family owned

Electrical work is urgent by nature. Power drops, a panel fails, a generator needs installing before storm season. People search once and call whoever answers. So the site had to load fast on a phone and make the licence, the hours and the number impossible to miss.

  • Veteran and family owned in the first line you read
  • Licence number and the 24/7 line on every screen size
  • A page per service instead of one long list
  • Service area pages for the cities worth competing in

Who you are actually hiring

You get us. Not an account manager

I am Justin, and I run Gulf Shore Web Design with my wife Victoria out of Fort Myers. Before this I spent about ten years managing websites and campaigns inside larger agencies, including hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in media spend.

What I learned there is that small businesses get the leftovers. The junior gets your account, the senior gets the big one, and nobody tells you where your money went. Here, the person who answers the phone is the person building your site.

Service areas

We know this market, because we work in it

Competing for search in Southwest Florida is not like competing anywhere else. Season swings, a saturated home services market, and new residents arriving every month.

Not in Southwest Florida? Local SEO is what we specialize in, but the work travels. We build and rank sites for service based companies anywhere in the country.

Questions

The things people actually ask

If yours is not here, call and ask. You will get a straight answer.

What does a website actually cost?
Two options, both listed on this page. $1,500 one time and you own it outright, or $250 a month for the SEO package, which includes the website at no charge along with unlimited edits and hosting. No setup fees either way.
How is the website free on the monthly plan?
Because you are paying for the SEO, not the build. The site is the thing the SEO runs on, so it comes with it. The tradeoff is honest: the one-time build is cheaper over two years if you never want ongoing work, and the monthly plan is better if you want to actually rank.
How long does it take?
Two to three weeks from start to live. The thing that delays it is almost always content: photos, service details, and approvals. We tell you exactly what we need up front so it does not drag.
Do I own my website?
Yes. It is your domain, your hosting account, your WordPress install. If you ever leave, you take the site with you. Ask any agency this question before you sign with them.
Do you guarantee first page rankings?
No, and be careful with anyone who does. Where you land depends on your reviews, your competition and your market, and none of that is ours to control. What we control is the work. Profile optimization, local keyword targeting, automated review requests, reputation management, and a new post every month, with reporting so you can see what actually moved.
What does lead generation cost?
$1,000 a month, on top of a website plan. That covers the campaign, a landing page built to convert, a sales system and pipeline in GoHighLevel, and texting automations so leads get followed up automatically. Media spend is paid direct to Google or Meta and we do not mark it up.
What if I just need edits, not a whole site?
The monthly plan includes unlimited minor changes with no change orders. If you have an existing site you like and only want the SEO side, call (239) 372-4679 and we will tell you honestly whether it is worth keeping.
Do you only work in Southwest Florida?
Local SEO in Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Naples, Bonita Springs and Estero is what we specialize in, and it is where most of our clients are. We do build and rank sites for service based companies elsewhere in the country too.
