Painted on the brick
The old wall signs had one job.
Look up at the brick on South Main Street and you can still read the faded paint: groceries, hardware. Those signs told anyone walking past what was for sale inside. A website does that same job now, for the neighbor who finds you on a phone instead of from the sidewalk. We make that sign clear, quick and easy to act on, then help it show up where Waxhaw is searching. The website design page covers what goes into a build.

The town ledger
A lot of new neighbors, and they search first.
Waxhaw more than doubled between 2010 and 2020, with new homes going up along NC 75 and Providence Road. Thousands of households arrived without ever having walked Main Street, and many are young families: the median age is 36.4 and well over half of households have kids. When they need a dentist, a plumber or a birthday cake, they pick up a phone and search.
The town's north edge also sits just four and a half miles from Charlotte's city limit. So a Waxhaw search can fill up with companies from much bigger markets. Local SEO and a well-kept Google listing are how a hometown business holds its ground.

Letters on file
Kind words from people Roger has worked with.
Copied from Google reviews exactly as written. Read them all on the letters page.
Very detail oriented. Walked me through every step of the process. We have improved tremendously since we began. Money well spent. We are seeing the return immediately
Roger is a first class businessman. He consistently delivers value to me and my business. His knowledge is deep and wide which is quite rare in today's world. He is obsessed with delivering value to his clients. I would recommend him to anyone I know.
Roger was very helpful and knowledgeable about website design.
Asked at the counter
Common questions.
Is there an office in Waxhaw?
No. The office is in Mooresville, about 59 miles up the road, and we would rather say so than rent a mailbox on Main Street. Most projects run start to finish over the phone, by email and on a shared screen. When sitting down together would really help, Roger makes the drive.
What does a website cost?
It depends on how many pages you need, what the site has to do, who is writing the words and how soon you need it. You get one fixed price in writing before anything starts. The quotes page explains how that number is reached.
Is it built on WordPress or Wix?
Neither. Every page is written in plain code for your business alone, which keeps it quick on a phone and leaves nothing for a stranger to log into.
Who owns the finished site?
You do. The domain, the words, the photos and the code are all in your name. We host it and look after it, but it belongs to your business.
