You Can't Find a Web Designer at the Ohio Valley Mall
- but You Can Find a Good Web Design Company servicing St. Clairsville.
How did you end up here? The answer is easy. You want an affordable, trustworthy web design company. Better yet, you want a person that makes the entire web design process easy. Whether you are a business that needs a professional site or a dreamer with a vision, you landed on the right page to make your website a reality.
A website is more than just your words and imagery.
Your website speaks directly to your customers.
Let Eric Hersey Web Design & Development create you a website that is heard by your audience.
St. Clairsville Knowledge. Ohio Valley Audience.
The biggest disadvantage of using a national web design company is local intelligence. Your store or business needs Ohio Valley residents to find your website. Just because your business is in Ohio, you need Wheeling, Moundsville, and Triadelphia customers to see your message. Getting your website to show up on search engines in other states takes tactics and strategies. I spend a lot of work cleaning up third-party websites - making sure search knows they service all surrounding areas.
Your main goal is to be better than the competition. Being a local, you know where people shop and what businesses you are competing with. If you gave me a pop-quiz right now, I could name 90% of the stores in the Ohio Valley Plaza. I can also name at least ten local Ohio Valley companies in most major areas.
If you don’t believe me, give me a call and we can try it out.
Little details will make a difference between your website getting a click or your website staying on page ten. Your website should be relatable and your users can read through the fluff. I help bring that Ohio Valley feel, because I lived in Belmont County for over 20-years.
Local references make a difference.
Does anyone else remember the smell of Mr. Bulky's candy store in the mall? Hold on - remember when there was a Wendy's inside the mall?
Friday Night Red Devils football followed by a short walk to the Belmont County Fair - great times.
I went to Phar-Mor every weekend with my dad. I even rented a few videos from time to time.
Have any doubts that I’m local? Unless you are a youngin’, you likely had a short trip down memory lane. I can help you deliver the feels to your St. Clairsville customers.

Size of the Website Design Company Matters.
Affordable Websites come with Less Overhead.
I've worked with web design firms and big digital marketing agencies. I've seen the amount of time spent in meetings debating how big the logo should be on the homepage. I’ve also sat back and watched five individuals add small changes to every page on a development site. I’m all for having a few set of eyes, but why pay for five designers when you can get the same product for the price of one.
Freelance Web Design in St. Clairsville
I started as a freelancer in Martins Ferry and still consider myself a freelancer (for the most part). There are many situations where I will freelance for a smaller web design company or even do some work for the big agencies in Pittsburgh.
Web Design Company in St. Clairsville Ohio
I like to think I get the best of both worlds. I have access to many, many talented specialists that I used when necessary. Instead of my clients always paying for a photographer or graphic designer, they only pay when we absolutely need to get more involved. Your business bank account thanks you.
Services I Provide and/or Partner with Specialists
If you need additional experts, I have built relationships with other local (I know a few from St. Clairsville) that always enjoy to jump aboard and help your web design dreams come true.
How Much Does Your Web Design and Development Services Cost?
- I am more affordable than your typical big-city web design service.
- Websites from Eric Hersey Web Design and Development cost more than the website created by the kid just graduating from OUE (doing it on the side).
- You can make your website cheaper on Squarespace or Go Daddy, but you will do all of the work and also have to figure out how to get that website to show up on Google.
- I'm priced so it can be a win-win for you and for me. You get a nice website that generates leads. I get enough money to make the time and effort worth it.

Local Website Design Process and Timeline
You are local. I am local. We can benefit from being local.
For Instance:
We can have a meeting at Panera Bread and talk about your website goals.
Let's hammer out the details of the project and sign an agreement. You give me half upfront and I will head over to Belmont Savings Bank and cash the check. I will drive 10-minutes East and get right to work.
We can email back and forth a bit with additional details. I might stop down to your shop and take some pictures. We might exchange a few calls. Next thing you know. you have a website ready for approval.
One final payment, a few buttons pressed, and you have a new, pretty website LAUNCHED to the world!
Yes, there are plenty more details when it comes to actually designing the website. I make sure to spell out everything and keep you informed every step of the way.
St. Clairsville Projects and Website Design Portfolio
I have been making websites affiliated with St. Clairsville businesses and Belmont county properties since 2003. Some of my earliest projects came from my two years at Bel-Tech. I worked retail for years in the Ohio Valley Mall and developed relationships with plenty of local business owners - resulting in side websites. I’ve also found myself in the Chamber of Commerce and love working on local chamber projects.
