What Your Project Can Include
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.
1-on-1 Collaboration
You work directly with me from the first call through launch. No account managers, no handoffs.
Fully Responsive
Looks and works great on every device, from phones to large monitors.
Search Engine Optimization
Fast load times, clean code, and on-page SEO are part of every build.
Booking Integrations
Connect the tools your customers use to reach you.
Keyword Research
I review your market before design begins so your site is built around what is already ranking.
Private Staging Link
View your site as it's built before anything goes live.
Performance Optimized
Built with modern tools. Includes a third-party speed report after development.
Post-Launch Walkthrough
I'll walk you through everything so you know how to manage your site going forward.
Sites That Load Fast
Most websites score poorly on Google PageSpeed, and that costs you traffic and conversions. Every site I build is optimized from the ground up so you're not leaving opportunity on the table.

Lower bounce rates
Fast load times mean lower bounce rates and more visitors actually converting into customers.
Better rankings
Page speed is a ranking factor. A faster site helps you show up higher in Google search results.
Sub-second target
Every site I build targets a sub-second load time to ensure speed is never a limitation.
About The Process
Five clear phases from first call to launch.
Starts with a one-on-one call to discuss your goals, audience, and the purpose of your website. This is where I learn what sets your business apart and what success looks like for you. By the end, you'll have a clear picture of the plan, and I'll have everything needed to put together a detailed proposal.
A no-pressure conversation with no commitment required to get started.
Just bring your ideas. A few reference sites or competitor examples help, but nothing is required.
After the call, you'll receive a detailed proposal with goals, scope, timeline, and pricing.
Once the proposal is approved, planning begins. I outline your site structure, content needs, project timeline, and relevant competitor insights. Before design begins, you'll know exactly which pages are being built, what content is required, and when each milestone will be delivered.
Every page planned before design begins so nothing gets missed.
I review what others in your space are doing so your site is positioned to stand out.
Priorities shift, and adjustments to the plan are easy to make before design work starts.
With the plan approved, I move into design. This phase is about establishing the right visual direction for your brand and getting alignment on the look and feel. You'll review mockups, share feedback, and sign off on the direction before development begins.
No revision caps within reason. Refinements continue until you're completely happy with the look and feel.
Colors, fonts, and visual style are locked in early so there's a clear direction going into development.
I can work with what you have or suggest colors, fonts, and visuals that fit your goals.
Once the design is approved, development begins. I build using modern, high-performance tools like Next.js and Tailwind CSS, ensuring your site loads fast, looks great on every device, and follows SEO best practices. You'll receive progress updates and can preview the site in a private test environment before launch.
Built with Next.js and Tailwind. Includes a third-party speed report after development.
Connect analytics, contact forms, booking tools, and email marketing platforms.
Need to edit content yourself? I can integrate Sanity for easy, ongoing content management.
The launch phase is where everything comes together. Before going live, I thoroughly test your website across devices, browsers, and screen sizes to ensure everything performs flawlessly. I handle deployment, hosting setup, and performance configuration so your site launches smoothly.
Reliable, fast hosting with SSL, monitoring, backups, and light ongoing support.
Get Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 configured with your custom domain.
Google Analytics or similar tools set up so you can track traffic from day one.
Common Questions
The things people usually want to know before starting a project.
How does pricing work for a custom website?
Pricing starts at the figures listed in the pricing section on this page. Which tier fits depends on how much of the site is designed from scratch and how much research goes into it, since every business has different goals, competitors, and technical requirements. After a short discovery call, 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 St. Petersburg?
Yes. While I focus on St. Petersburg and Pinellas County, I work with businesses across the U.S. All collaboration is done remotely with no disruption to your schedule.
How long does it take to build a website?
Most projects are completed in 2 to 4 weeks from the start of design, but this varies drastically with scope. A focused site moves quickly, while a large build with many service and location pages takes considerably longer. You'll have a realistic timeline before anything starts, and you'll see the site on a private staging link throughout the process.
Will my website show up on Google?
Every website I build includes on-page SEO. That means proper heading structure, fast load times, clean code, and local keyword targeting. For St. Petersburg businesses, I also research your local competitors before design begins so your site targets the searches your customers actually use.
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.
What makes Parrish Design different from a local agency?
With an agency, your project gets handed off to designers and developers who weren't in that first conversation with you. At Parrish Design, you work directly with me from the first call through launch. Same person the whole way. That means faster communication, nothing lost in translation, and a final product that actually reflects what you wanted.
Still have a question?
Every project is different and I'm happy to answer anything specific to your situation before you commit to anything.
Built for the St. Pete Market
St. Pete packs a lot of small business districts into a small area, from Central Ave down through Gulfport and Pinellas Park. Customers rarely call first. They look you up, and your website does the introductions.
Those districts each pull a different crowd, so what works downtown may not work for a contractor covering the south end. I look at how people search in the areas you actually serve, then build your pages around those terms instead of generic ones.
What It Costs
Three tiers, priced up front. Every one includes clean development, SEO setup, and full ownership of everything I build. What changes between them is how much is designed from scratch and how much research goes into it.
