Local SEO
For local service businesses, ranking in Google's map pack and local search is often more valuable than the website itself. We build the foundation, then keep it ranking.
- Local SEO Setup$275
- Local SEO Retainer$300 / month
A web design studio for super small businesses — independent retailers, contractors, coaches, cleaning services, and small boutique brands. Brand identity, websites, and the tools to run them — delivered fast, priced plainly, and hosted on AWS.
The build is a one-time cost — and modern AI-assisted production makes it faster, so we price it honestly low and pass the saving on. Running and looking after the site is separate and monthly (see Hosting & Management); you only take that if you want us to keep it humming.
Identity work that makes everything else possible. Good type, a considered color system, and a logo that works everywhere it needs to.
Websites that load fast, read clearly, and convert visitors into contacts. Mobile-first, SEO-ready, easy to update. Pro Sites ship in 5 business days from brief approval.
Beyond the website — email, scheduling, and email marketing set up and wired together, with documentation so you aren't on hold with support.
Most small businesses don't lose work because of how the site looks — they lose it because they can't be found, and because the words don't land. These two service lines fix both — at published, fixed prices well below typical retainers.
For local service businesses, ranking in Google's map pack and local search is often more valuable than the website itself. We build the foundation, then keep it ranking.
Most owners struggle to write their own site copy, and the result is generic content the website can't overcome. We sharpen voice, headlines, and the small connective copy that makes a site read clearly.
Already running a Local SEO retainer or have your copy nailed down? You can stack any service à la carte — no need to bundle.
We build websites for the kinds of small businesses that don't fit a template — local service operators, solo practitioners, independent retailers, and small online shops. If anything below sounds like you, you're our person.
Custom websites for small toy stores, hobby shops, indie booksellers, gift shops, and one-of-a-kind retail. The kind of small retail website that reads like the actual shop — not a Shopify template wearing a logo.
Toy stores · book shops · gift shops · niche retail · hobby & specialty
Small contractor website design built around one job: getting the phone to ring with qualified leads. Photo-led pages, plain-English service lists, real project galleries, and a quote-request flow that doesn't bury the phone number.
General contractors · home improvement · roofing · remodelers · handymen · landscapers
Websites for cleaning businesses, residential service companies, and recurring-route operators. Service tier pages, transparent pricing posture, and an online booking flow that respects how busy your customers already are.
Residential cleaning · commercial cleaning · pressure washing · pest control · lawn care
Websites for life coaches, business coaches, therapists, and one-person professional practices. Calm editorial design that signals you take the work seriously, with a single obvious path to booking the first conversation.
Life coaches · executive coaches · therapists · counselors · nutritionists · solo consultants
Boutique e-commerce websites for curated lifestyle brands, small online stores, and shop-owner-run e-commerce. Slower-paced design that lets the products breathe and the brand story land — not a maximalist sales funnel.
Lifestyle brands · curated shops · small DTC · indie makers · niche product lines
Websites for yoga studios, personal trainers, massage therapists, pilates instructors, and small wellness practices. Class schedules, intake forms, and a booking flow that feels like the practice itself — calm, deliberate, and easy.
Yoga · pilates · personal training · massage · acupuncture · small wellness studios
Don't see your industry? We're also a fit for photographers, restaurants, nonprofits, and small professional practices — most super-small businesses, really. Tell us about your business.
For newly-formed LLCs and brand-new small businesses. A single engagement is more efficient to deliver than three separate ones — so the bundle costs less.
Add a hosting plan and your first 6 months of Maintenance are included.
Kits are the one-time build. If you'd like us to run it — AWS hosting, SSL, weekly backups, security updates, and a quarterly micro-update — the first 6 months are on us, then $95/mo, cancel anytime with a free handoff. Prefer to self-host? Take the free handoff instead.
A designed single-page site with a human behind it — delivered in 3 business days. Real design, your own logo and email, built to be found locally. Add a hosting plan and we run it for you; or take the free handoff and host it yourself.
A clean logo, a simple website, and professional email on your domain. Everything you need to hand out a URL and get to work.
A full brand identity, a website that ranks, and your pick of three business tools — delivered in five business days. The package for owners ready to invest in a credible presence.
Need something bigger?
Projects needing e-commerce, custom integrations, or larger scope are quoted individually — most fall in the $3,500–$6,000 range. Email hello@raikowskistudio.com to discuss.
A deliberate sequence that builds on itself. The brand decisions we make up front are the same assets used in your website and your tools — so everything stays coherent without extra back-and-forth. Pro Sites ship in 5 business days from brief approval — a published commitment, not a stretch goal. Larger bundles land in 2–3 weeks end to end.
A 20–30 minute conversation about your business, your goals, and what you need. No pressure, no upsell — just figuring out the right fit.
Logo concepts, color palette, typography. You review and choose. This is the foundation everything else builds on.
Your website is designed and built directly from the approved brand — mobile-first, SEO-ready, and set up to be easy for you to update. Pro Sites ship in 5 business days from brief approval.
You see everything together. Two rounds of revisions are included. We make it feel exactly right before anything goes live.
Professional email on your domain is configured. If it's part of your scope, the booking system is set up alongside it.
Website goes live on AWS Amplify. A walk-through shows you how to update anything yourself, and your Maintenance Plan kicks in from that day.
Most small businesses don't think about hosting until something breaks. Managed AWS reduces the chance of that happening in the first place — and the Maintenance Plan covers the infrastructure cost. No separate line item, no markup confusion.
99.99% uptime SLAs on core AWS services. Your site stays up.
CloudFront serves your pages from edge locations everywhere.
Managed SSL via ACM, automated backups, DDoS protection — included.
From 10 visitors a day to 10,000 without re-platforming.
One platform for every site. Database picked per project.
All infrastructure is managed by the studio. Clients don't need an AWS account, don't get AWS bills, and don't have to touch the console.
You own your site content, design assets, and source code from day one — that's in the contract. The Launch Handoff packages it all for self-hosting: a complete export, a written setup guide (DNS, SSL, deployment), and credential handoff.
Free with every project and every cancellation — no exceptions, no exit fees. The only trade-off, stated plainly: self-hosted sites aren't eligible for our hosting plans, because we can't maintain infrastructure we don't control.
The build is one-time; keeping the site fast, safe, and current is ongoing — and optional. Essentials keeps it up for $49/mo; Maintenance adds real human care for $95/mo, about half what agencies charge. Recommended on every site, never required — add it if you'd rather not think about it, or self-host with a free handoff. No retention pitch, no hidden meter, no exit fees — and your rate never goes up for as long as you stay a client.
Everything in Essentials, plus monthly checks, faster support, a quarterly micro-update, and a yearly planning call. Most agencies charge $200–$1,000/mo for this scope — ours is $95, all-in.
Cancel anytime. No long contracts.
The honest comparison: freelancer maintenance runs $95–$350/mo and agencies charge $200–$1,000/mo for this scope. The quarterly micro-update covers normal small touches — anything bigger is the published $75 (small) or $200 (standard).
Professionally run AWS hosting and nothing else — for owners who want the site up, fast, and safe at the lowest possible monthly cost. Upgrade to Maintenance any time.
Infrastructure only — no content changes or check-ins. Upgrade to the Maintenance Plan any time.
No subscription needed. Three simple options for changes, new work, or strategic input.
Up to 1 hour of site updates — copy tweaks, image swaps, small adjustments. Maintenance Plan subscribers get one micro-update per quarter included.
Up to 3 hours for a new page, feature addition, or a round of larger updates. Scoped before any work starts.
Five Small change requests, prepaid, valid for 12 months. The same work for less — and no quoting step when you need something done.
A 45-minute call on growth, positioning, or planning — with written follow-up notes. Useful when you want a second opinion before you invest.
On the Maintenance Plan? One micro-update per quarter is included. Beyond that, change work is the published flat $75 or $200 — the price you see is the price you pay.
Print is intentionally not part of the launch offering. Vendor quality varies, paper and finish matter, and shipping has its own failure modes. We'd rather launch print once — done right — than bolt it on and apologize.
Need print work now? We refer to trusted Central Florida printers.
Pricing is preliminary and subject to vendor selection.
The questions small business owners actually ask before they hire a web designer — pricing, timelines, hosting, what's included, and where we draw the line.
Our prices are fixed and published, and the build is a one-time cost: a Starter Site is $250, a Pro Site (4–6 pages, 5-day delivery) is $500, and a single-page One-Pager kit is $250. E-commerce builds start around $1,500 and are quoted individually. Brand identity runs $120–$500 depending on depth. The build is priced low because AI-assisted production makes it genuinely efficient and we pass that on; what we earn our keep on is running and looking after the site — a separate, optional monthly plan. For context, professionally built small business sites typically cost $2,000–$8,000 in 2026 — we publish every price on the Pricing page.
Yes. Photo-led contractor websites are one of our core builds — clear service list, real project gallery, and a quote-request flow that doesn't bury the phone number. We work with general contractors, home improvement crews, roofers, remodelers, landscapers, and small trades operators.
Yes. Websites for cleaning businesses and other home service operators are a regular build for us. We design service tier pages, transparent pricing layouts, and online booking flows that respect how busy your customers are. Residential cleaning, commercial cleaning, pressure washing, lawn care, and pest control all fit.
Yes. Coaches, therapists, counselors, nutritionists, and solo professional practices are some of our favorite clients. The brief is usually the same: a calm editorial site that signals you take the work seriously, with one obvious path to booking the first conversation.
Honest answer: if your needs are simple and you have time to manage a builder, Squarespace and Wix work fine. We're a fit when you want something that doesn't look like a template, loads faster than a builder allows, and includes domain email plus online booking setup as part of one project — without you having to wire it together.
Yes — that's our Business Tools service. We set up email on your domain (you@yourbusiness.com), wire up an online booking system, document the workflow, and hand it off so you're not on hold with support. Email & Domain is $75; Booking System is $150.
Starter Sites typically take 1–2 weeks from kickoff. Pro Sites ship in 5 business days from brief approval — that's a real, published commitment, made possible by AI-augmented production (Cursor, Claude, multi-vendor redundancy). E-commerce builds take 6–10 weeks depending on catalog size. Brand identity work overlaps with the web build, so it doesn't add to the calendar.
Every site we build is mobile-first. We design on phone-sized canvases first because that's where most small business visitors actually are — then scale up cleanly to tablet and desktop. Performance, layout, and tap targets all get tested on real devices before launch.
No. Hosting is included in both of our plans — Essentials Hosting at $49/month (infrastructure only) or the Maintenance Plan at $95/month (infrastructure plus real human care). Your site runs on AWS (S3 + CloudFront + Route 53 + ACM for static and Next.js sites, or Amplify/Lightsail for heavier builds) with global edge delivery and automatic SSL, but you never see a console. We handle deploys, certificates, backups, and uptime. You just send updates.
Yes. Our $95/month Maintenance Plan covers AWS hosting (all infrastructure costs included), SSL renewals via ACM, weekly automated backups, security updates, monthly uptime checks, a quarterly micro-update review (one small change per quarter included), and a month-11 check-in call to plan the year ahead. Email support is 48-hour standard, 24-hour for urgent issues. Larger changes are quoted at $75 (small) or $200 (standard) — no surprise hourly invoices.
Yes — Site Refresh is a focused redesign service for owners who already have a website but it's tired, slow, or unclear. We keep what's working, fix what isn't, and re-launch on AWS. Site Refresh is a fixed $225.
Either works. Most owners come with rough notes; we sharpen those into headlines, service descriptions, and the small connective copy that makes a site read clearly. Pricing is published and fixed: $200 for a homepage plus one service page, $450 for a full 4–6 page site, $150 for a campaign or single email. No invented stats, no fake testimonials — your words, just better-shaped.
Both. For a lot of local service businesses, ranking in Google's map pack matters more than the website itself. We offer Local SEO Setup ($275 one-time — Google Business Profile optimization, citation audit, keyword research) and a Local SEO Retainer ($300/month — GBP management, citation building, content briefs, monthly reporting). Most local SEO retainers start at $500/month; ours is $300 for the same scope. It pairs naturally with the Maintenance Plan.
Yes — Email Marketing Setup is a fixed $200. We pick a platform that fits how you'll actually use it (Mailchimp, Resend, ConvertKit, or similar), set it up on your domain, wire a welcome flow to your signup form, build a first campaign template, and hand off documentation. After that you're set to send.
Still have a question we didn't cover? Send it through the project form — we read every one.
A 20-minute conversation is all it takes to figure out the right fit. No obligation, no pitch.
