Custom Websites
Most of our clients come to us with a website they aren’t very proud of.
Your website should perform its essential functions and represent your brand,
sort of like an employee who sells your services 24/7, 365.
Relay information
Your website should explain what you have to offer clearly and effectively.
Answer questions
What are your customer’s most frequently asked questions? Your website should be able to answer them!
Represent you
Your website should represent your brand, just as you would if you were in front of the customer yourself.
Make the sale
This is the most important one! Customers should be able to contact you, book you, or make a purchase on the spot.
If your website isn’t doing its job, we can help!

Client Love
read what our clients have to say about us!
“THANK YOU- this is just amazing and exceeds my expectations by so much! I am just in love with all of it! You are AMAZING at what you do!!!”
“I have had a great experience working with Pinecoast Creative. Katie and her team did a phenomenal job with our website. Prior to finding Pinecoast Creative, I paid another company called Black Bear Web Design a pretty penny and had the worst experience.
I took a chance with Pinecoast Creative finding them through a web search was nervous that I would have the same situation, but working with Katie has been fantastic. She did what she said she would and it turned out better than I had hoped. My website looks great and the quality of work is superior. I would highly recommend this team.”
“We loved working with Katie to redesign our Website! She took our initial ideas and put them together to create a site that is exactly what we were hoping for, and MORE! She responded to our questions right away and has made the whole process so painless. I would definitely recommend to her anyone wanting to update their business site or create a new site.”

F.A.Q.s
feel free to email us if you have additional questions!
How long will it take?
It entirely depends on the project size, but you can expect it to take anywhere from 6 to 16 weeks.
What does “Basic SEO” mean?
SEO= search engine optimization. We build your site using best practices so that Google can recognize the content on your website. This includes using proper heading tags, assigning keywords to your ALT tags, ensuring your meta titles and descriptions include keywords, etc.
Do I need website hosting?
Yes! Hosting is a server where all your website files are stored. Think of your host as the house where your website lives, and your domain name (your .com) is the address to your house. We offer hosting as part of our Website Care Plans!
Will my website look good on a phone?
Absolutely! All of our websites are mobile responsive, meaning the website will resize depending on the device being used. (It is not a separate mobile site like they used to do back in the day!)
When can we start?
We are typically booked a month or two out, but sometimes there are project delays, so reach out as soon as possible to get a spot on our schedule!
Can I make changes to the site myself?
Yes! After your website is launched, you get a 1-hour video chat call with me where I go over everything you need to know to make changes to your site. This is a recorded video, so you can reference the training at any time! We also offer Website Care Plans if you’d rather us do it for you!
What happens after I contact you?
During your free discovery call, we’ll chat about your project and your business. After that, we send you a detailed proposal outlining the scope of the project, everything that’s included, and the price. If you accept, we send the contract and your first invoice, and you officially have a spot on our schedule! Yay!
What if I need help later on?
Please contact us at any time! Even if you’re not on a Website Care Plan with us, we are happy to help you for an hourly fee.
Do you do logos?
We offer logos and other branding materials like business cards as an add-on, just let us know what you need!
Do you have payment plans?
Yes! Most of our projects are split into 2 payments- a 50% deposit is required to hold your spot on our schedule, and the remaining 50% is due before the website is launched. We want to make the process as easy as possible, so if you need to discuss a different payment plan, please ask!
