Need a Web Designer in Wheeling, West Virginia?
Web designers are not easy to come by in Wheeling. This isn't Pittsburgh where you have as many web design companies as you do bridges. In Wheeling, we have two bridges - and one is always down for construction.
We also have two major web design companies - and one is always several thousand dollars more expensive.

Living in Wheeling Helps Make Better Wheeling Websites
Besides having to get your car inspected, there are tons of positives about being a West Virginia citizen. As a web designer, I can utilize my city knowledge to help build local content that converts to sales. It might be as simple as using physical landmarks for detailed directions. Having relationships with other business owners in the community makes it easier to get valid, local testimonials on your site.
The web design company you found in Cleveland might have a hard time presenting that local vibe on your site.
More importantly, they won't even know that we call our area the Ohio Valley. The agency and firms pitching you a cookie-cutter website won't mention The Highlands, Elm Grove, or Wheeling Island. But we know these residents are important to your overall success.
These little details matter when you are trying to reach your audience. You want customers to find your website on search engines. Your brand needs to be relatable. What better way to be relatable than using terms near and dear to them.

Size of the Website Design Company Matters.
Affordable Websites come with Less Overhead.
I've worked with web design agencies and big digital marketing firms. I've seen the amount of time spent drawing mock-ups on whiteboards. I also witnessed the developers and designers spend half-a-day on what color to make the font on a hover link. I like color theory as much as the next guy, but let's not waste your money.
Freelance Web Design in Wheeling, WV
I started freelancing in Wheeling 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 Morgantown or Pittsburgh.

How Much Does Your Web Design and Development Services Cost?

- You can make your website cheaper on Squarespace or Wix, but you will do all of the work and also have to figure out how to get that website to show up on Search Engines.
- 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.

Wheeling Projects and Website Design Portfolio
I have been making websites affiliated with Wheeling businesses and West Virginia properties since 1999. Some of my earliest projects came from moonlighting while I was a sales executive for the local cable advertising company. Businesses wanted to advertise online and I was able to help them upgrade their website. It wasn't an awful gig.
