Web design in Los Angeles, in short: I build websites for trades and service businesses here — one developer based in Hawthorne, $250 a month with no setup fee, hosting and changes included, and a fixed price after one call. I'll come to the shop or the job site rather than set up a video call.
What's different about Los Angeles
Nobody wins 'Los Angeles' as a search, and the businesses trying to are spending agency money to do it. What works is owning your neighbourhood and your specific job, then widening.
The alternative on offer here is usually an agency where you talk to an account manager and a rotating team builds the thing. I'm one person: you talk to the person who writes the code.
Greater LA means longer drives, so being explicit about your service radius saves you the calls that were never going to be worth taking.
What you actually get
- A site built by one person. You talk to whoever writes the code. Nothing gets lost in a handoff and there's no account layer to fund.
- A fixed price, before you commit. $250 a month with no setup fee, hosting and changes included; more if you want the automation and the Google side. One call and you get the exact number for your job. Silence on price is the most common reason a local business never gets called, and that applies to me too — so that's the number.
- Built for a phone. Most of your traffic is someone standing outside a problem. The number is tappable and reachable from anywhere on the page.
- Findable, not just pretty. Proper markup, a real sitemap, and a Google Business Profile that agrees with the site. See how Google finds your site for what that means in practice.
- Readable by AI assistants. An increasing share of "who should I call in Los Angeles" now gets answered by ChatGPT or an AI Overview instead of a list of links. That's a different job, and it's included.
Trades I work with
Most of my work is with trades and service businesses. If yours is on this list, the page for it covers what specifically tends to go wrong online for that trade:
- Websites for plumbers
- Websites for electricians
- Websites for hvac contractors
- Websites for roofers
- Websites for landscapers
- Websites for general contractors
- Websites for pool services
- Websites for pest control companies
Not on the list? It probably still applies — call and I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right person for it.

Common questions
What does it cost?
A site is $250 a month with no setup fee, which covers hosting, upkeep and changes — no separate hosting bill and no charge to change a phone number. Adding automation is $700–1,000+ to set up, then $250 a month. The whole path — site, automation and the Google side — is $2,000+ then $500 a month. You get the exact number for your job after one call, before you commit to anything.
Why hire one person instead of an agency?
Cost and directness. Nothing gets lost in a handoff, and you're not funding an account layer. The tradeoff is honest: I'm one person, so I take a limited number of projects at a time.
What if I need something after launch?
You text me. I keep working on the sites I build — most of them are years old and still mine to look after.
