Web Designer in Tampa
Your Website Should Do More Than Look Good
I build websites for small businesses from start to finish, with every page planned so customers can find you, understand what you offer, and get in touch.
Built to Compete in the Tampa Bay Market
Tampa Bay has plenty of growing businesses and customers looking for the right company to hire. I build websites that help local businesses stand out, combining thoughtful design, search research, clear messaging, and a strong SEO foundation.
I start by researching how people search across Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and nearby areas, then shape your pages, content, and structure around the customers you want to reach. You get a site that represents your business well and can help turn local searches into inquiries.

Who You'll Be Working With
I'm Tristan Parrish, a web designer based in the Tampa Bay area. I started Parrish Design in September 2022 after seeing how many businesses had websites that looked fine but weren't actually helping them grow. I wanted to build sites that do more than look good.
I handle every project personally, from strategy through design and development, and beyond, which lets me understand your business, your customers, and your competitors before I build anything. I work with a small number of clients at a time, and you'll work with me directly from the first conversation through launch and beyond.
Every site is designed and built around your business and your customers instead of a generic template or theme, and the domain, the code, and the content all belong to you. As a solo-run business, every site I build has my reputation behind it.
More About MeWhat I Handle
Depending on scope, a project can include any of the following. Your proposal lists exactly what is in yours, so there is nothing to guess at.
Design & Development
Custom design and clean code built around your brand and business goals.
Keyword Research
I research the keywords your customers are searching so your site targets the right topics.
Search Engine Optimization
Page structure, metadata, and schema markup so customers can find you in search.
Domain Setup
New domain or existing one, I handle the configuration and DNS records for you.
Hosting & Deployment
I manage hosting, SSL, and deployments so you never have to touch a server.
Email and Integrations
I help connect your domain email, contact forms, and any booking tools you need.
Edit Your Own Site
I can add a tailored content editor that's easier and cleaner than website builders.
Modern Frameworks
Moving between pages updates only what changed instead of reloading the whole site.
Some of My Work
Sites I've built for small businesses, from a welding shop in Tampa to a vet clinic in Sarasota, with a few words from each client. Select any project to see the full case study.

Common Questions
The things people usually want to know before starting a project.
How much does a website cost?
Pricing starts at the figures listed in the pricing section above. Every package is a custom design built from scratch. Which one fits depends on how much research and tracking your project needs, since every business has different goals, competitors, and technical requirements. After a short discovery call or email exchange, you'll receive a proposal outlining scope, timeline, deliverables, recommendations, and investment, so you'll know exactly what's involved before making a decision.
Do you work with businesses outside of Tampa Bay?
Yes. I work with businesses across the U.S., so the entire process is built to work remotely. If you're outside Tampa Bay, you'll still work directly with me from the first conversation through launch and beyond.
How is working with you different from hiring an agency?
With an agency, you're often paying for overhead: account managers, project coordinators, and developers you never speak to. I work with a small number of clients at a time and handle everything myself. You get direct access to the person doing the work, faster communication, and a site that's been thought through carefully rather than handed off down a chain.
What if I don't have content or photos ready?
That's normal and it doesn't hold up the project. Planning includes a content map, so you'll know exactly what each page needs instead of guessing at it. I'll guide the copy so you're not starting from a blank page, and for photos I can work with what you already have and suggest options where there are gaps. Most businesses start with less material than they think they need.
Will my website show up on Google?
I want to be transparent about this so you're never disappointed: no one can guarantee where your website ranks on Google, and I won't tell you otherwise. What I can do is make sure the foundation is strong from the start, including proper heading structure, fast load times, clean code, and content built around the terms your customers actually search. From there, rankings also depend on things like relevance, competition, your local presence, and links from trusted websites. For a local business, that can include a strong Google Business Profile, industry organizations, local chambers of commerce, and other reputable sites linking back to yours. If paid search makes sense for your business, I can also help you decide whether Google Ads is worth testing alongside your organic SEO.
Do I own the website when it's finished?
Yes. The domain, the code, and the content are yours. I register the domain in your name, or transfer an existing one, and everything I build stays with you if you ever decide to work with someone else. Some providers keep ownership and only license the site to you for as long as you keep paying, which is worth checking before you sign anything.
Still have a question?
Every project is different and I'm happy to answer anything specific to your situation before you commit to anything.
