What’s included
Every site comes with the basics done properly. Stores and integrations are added when you need them.
A design for your business
A layout and visual style made for you, not a stock theme with your logo dropped in.
Pages you can edit
WordPress, set up so you can change text, photos and prices without calling anyone.
Built for phones first
Most visitors arrive on a phone, so every page is designed and tested at phone size first.
Fast pages
Optimized images, no page builder, and no plugins you don’t need. Fast sites rank better and keep more visitors.
Local search basics
Page titles, descriptions, headings, structured data and a sitemap, set up so people nearby can find you.
A store, if you sell
WooCommerce for products, services or deposits, with Stripe for card payments.
Integrations
Contact and booking forms, email lists, client portals, and connections to systems like NetSuite.
Accessibility
Readable contrast, real headings, alt text and keyboard-friendly menus, checked before launch.
A handover
A walkthrough of editing your site at launch, and notes you can come back to.
How a project runs
A first call
Half an hour about your business, who the site is for and what it needs to do.
A written proposal
Pages, features, timeline and price, in writing, before any work starts.
Design, then build
You see the design early, then review the real site as it comes together.
Launch and after
Launch, a walkthrough, and an optional care plan for hosting and updates.
Sites Vitro has built
Each one has a spec sheet: what the client needed, what was built, and how it turned out.
Lafayette Sound
A site for an event production company: sound, lighting, video and live streaming for corporate events.
Hounds & Houses
Real estate photography, 3D tours and drone footage for agents in Lafayette, with booking built in.
The Vote Receipts
An open-source ledger that turns corporate lobbying spending in the 119th Congress into searchable receipts.
Elijah’s high quality work is exactly what I needed to launch my new business! My new website looks incredible. Great communication during the entire process. He was patient, kind and accommodating even when we flipped the switch to do something totally different with the site.
Questions
What does a small business website cost?
Small, simple sites start at about $500. Most business sites cost more: the price depends on how many pages you need, whether you sell online, and how much of the writing and photography the site needs. You get a written price before any work starts.
How long does a website take?
Most sites take 2 to 6 weeks from the first call to launch. The biggest factor is usually content: once the text and photos are ready, the build moves quickly.
Can I update the site myself?
Yes. Sites are built on WordPress with editing set up around your content, so changing a price or adding a photo doesn’t mean touching the design. You get a walkthrough at launch.
Do I own the site?
Yes. Your domain, your content and your site are yours. If you ever move to another developer or host, everything comes with you.
Can you rebuild my current site?
Yes. A rebuild keeps your existing page addresses where it can and redirects the ones that change, so you don’t lose the search traffic you already have.
Do you host websites?
Yes. Hosting and care plans cover hosting, updates, backups and monthly reports, so the site keeps working after launch. See Hosting & care plans.
