Websites for shops, kitchens, salons and trades in Spokane

Website design in Spokane, $50 a month.

From the Garland District to Kendall Yards, the customer choosing between you and the next place does it on a phone in a parked car, and a good share of them drove in from somewhere else in the Inland Northwest. We build the site that gives them your hours, your prices and a number that rings, put it online, and keep it current for you.

You see the finished site before you pay anything.

Downtown is one market. The neighborhood districts are four more.

Garland, Perry, Kendall Yards and Browne's Addition each live off their own corners, with their own regulars, their own parking problem and their own reason somebody crosses the river or comes up the hill on a Saturday.

That shape changes what a website has to do. A shop on Garland or on Perry is not fighting for passing traffic on Division; it is trying to be the reason somebody drives across town, or in from the county, on a particular afternoon. The customer has already decided to come to Spokane. What is undecided is which block, and that decision gets made on a phone in a parked car.

Kendall YardsOn the north bank above the river with the Centennial Trail running past, so the foot traffic is walkers and cyclists as much as drivers, and the businesses skew to food, coffee and small offices.
The Garland DistrictA compact run of old storefronts around the theater, the sort of block where a barber, a diner and a vintage shop all live off the same handful of corners.
The South Perry DistrictSmall, walkable and food-heavy, with a summer market that brings people who would otherwise never come up the hill.
Browne's AdditionThe old-houses neighborhood next to downtown, dense with renters, which supports cafes and small services rather than destination retail.

Who this fits.

The businesses we build for most, and what their page has to answer.

Restaurants and coffee shops

A readable menu with real prices, and hours that are right this week.

Auto repair, trades and handymen

What you work on, what a job roughly costs, how far out you are booked, the area you cover, and a number that gets answered.

Salons, studios and specialty retail

The stylists or artists and their work, and how somebody gets an appointment. For a shop or a thrift store, what you carry, what came in this month, and the hours, because that is the whole question.

Busy weekends are the test.

Bloomsday in May and Hoopfest in June fill the city, the fair brings the county in during September, and the hockey and university calendars keep smaller waves coming through the rest of the year. None of those people know your name. They type a trade and the word Spokane into a phone, look at whatever comes back, and pick in about forty seconds. If what comes back for you is a listing with old hours and no menu, you were never in the running.

The practical point is timing. The mockup takes a few days, a week at the outside, so the site for a busy season gets built in the quiet weeks before it rather than in the middle of it. Keeping the hours right once it is running is most of what we do afterwards, and it is included rather than billed.

What goes on the page.

Three things belong on a business page here and are usually missing from one.

Where you serve, and where to park

A line saying which counties and towns you cover, because a customer in Coeur d'Alene or Deer Park needs to know that before calling. Parking in plain words: the lot behind the building, whether the street is metered, which block to aim for on Garland or on Perry.

Bloomsday and Hoopfest weekends, written out

Downtown streets close for Bloomsday in May and again for Hoopfest in June, and a customer who cannot get to your door needs to read that before setting out. Send the weekend hours, or the closure, by text and it is live, usually the same day.

A number that rings, with the hours beside it

Tap-to-call from the page, with your hours right beside it, so people call when somebody will pick up. The address opens straight into maps.

A finished example of the same idea, built start to finish: Tallow Creek Auto. The business is invented and the site was built by us as a demonstration.

One price. Everything included.

$50 a month is the price in Spokane and everywhere else on this site. The subscription is what makes a properly built site affordable: it is paid over years, not in one invoice at the start.

Questions we get on the phone.

Will it work properly on a phone?

That is the main thing we build for. Most people find a local business on a phone, standing up, in a hurry. The site loads fast, the phone number is one tap, and the address opens straight into maps.

Is $50 a month the real price?

Yes. It is the same price everywhere on this site. There is no setup fee, no add-on we come back and bill you for, and canceling is free whenever you decide to stop. No VAT or sales tax is added to it. Reverse charge: you are responsible for any VAT, sales, use or similar tax that applies in your country or state.

Half my customers drive in from outside the city. Can the site say so?

It should. A Spokane page that only talks about Spokane is leaving out the reason people found you. We write the counties and towns you actually serve into the page, whether that is Spokane Valley and Liberty Lake, the Palouse towns to the south, or across the state line into Coeur d'Alene. Somebody an hour out wants to know you will take the job before he picks up the phone.
