website designer in Merced, California
Local Web Design, Right Where You Need It
I’ve designed dozens of websites for small businesses across Merced and the Central Valley, helping owners stop losing customers to competitors with better-built sites. My difference is simple: websites that clearly communicate what you do, expand your reach, and pull in leads.
Merced is growing. Is your website keeping up?
Between UC Merced’s expanding presence and a steady stream of new businesses putting down roots, more local customers are searching online before they ever make a decision. If your website isn’t ready to meet them there, a competitor’s probably is.
A well-built website builds the kind of credibility that used to take years of word of mouth to earn. Let’s build one that works for your Merced business.
From First Call to Launch
Stage 1: Discovery Call
We start with a free consultation to talk through your business, your goals, and what you need from your website. No pressure, just a straightforward conversation so I can understand what you're working with and where you want to go.
Stage 2: Strategy & Design
Once we're aligned on the plan, I get to work on the design. You'll see concepts before anything is built, so there's plenty of room for feedback. This is where your brand, your audience, and your goals all come together into something visual.
Stage 3: Development & Refinement
Your approved design gets built into a fully functional website. We review everything together, work through any revisions, and make sure every detail is right before anything goes live.
Stage 4: Launch & Handoff
When everything looks and works exactly the way it should, we launch. I'll make sure you feel comfortable with your new site and know how to manage it going forward. And if you'd rather not think about it at all, a care plan keeps everything running smoothly after launch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer web design services in Merced?
Yes! I work with small businesses across the Central Valley, and Merced is very much part of that. Everything is handled remotely, so the process is flexible and easy no matter where you’re located. If you’re a business owner in Merced looking for a website that’s professional, functional, and built around your actual goals, I’d love to connect.
What's the difference between a template website and a custom-designed one?
A template gets something online, but it’s built for a generic business, not yours. A custom website is designed around your specific goals, your customers, and what makes your business worth choosing. That means the structure, the messaging, and the design are all intentional (not just pulled from a preset layout). For Merced businesses trying to stand out in a growing market, that distinction matters.
What services do you offer Merced businesses?
I offer website design, website development, branding, and website care and maintenance plans. Some clients come to me needing everything from the ground up. Others have a site that just needs a refresh or better ongoing support. Either way, we’ll start with a conversation about where you are now and what you’re trying to accomplish.
How do I know if my Merced business website actually needs work?
A few common signs: your site is hard to navigate on a phone, it doesn’t reflect how your business has grown, it loads slowly, or you’re not getting inquiries through it the way you’d expect. A website should be working for your business around the clock. If it’s not doing that, it’s worth taking a closer look. A free consultation is a great place to start.
Do you help with branding too, or just websites?
Both. Strong branding and a well-built website go hand in hand. If your visual identity feels inconsistent or unclear, that often shows up on your website and in how people perceive your business overall. I offer branding services that help Merced businesses build a cohesive, recognizable identity before (or alongside) a new website.
How do I get started?
The first step is a free consultation call. We’ll talk through your business, what your website needs to do, and what’s standing in the way right now. From there, I’ll walk you through the process and what’s involved. No pressure, just a straightforward conversation about your goals.
