Website Services
Custom website design and development for small businesses.
Launch a new site, redesign the one you have, or add an online store. Frances Tech builds fast, clear, conversion-focused websites with hosting, security, and maintenance included when you need ongoing support.
Problems we solve
When your website is holding the business back.
Whether you need your first site or a full redesign, we focus on the issues that keep small businesses from getting found, trusted, and contacted online.
Your website is hard to update
If changing a phone number or service page feels impossible, you need a cleaner build and a maintenance plan that keeps content current.
You are stuck on a DIY builder
Squarespace, Wix, and rigid templates can limit design, speed, and SEO. We move small businesses onto a real build, often WordPress or a modern stack like Astro, so the site can grow with the business.
Leads drop off before they contact you
Slow pages, weak mobile layouts, and unclear calls to action cost inquiries. We design sites that guide visitors toward a call or form.
You need to sell online
If your current site cannot handle products, checkout, or inventory, you need an e-commerce build that makes buying simple for customers.

How it works
A clear path from first call to launch.
No guesswork. You always know what comes next, from discovery through design, build, and go-live.

We talk through your goals, current site (if any), and what the project needs to cover.
Business intake form
You fill out a short form so we can gather brand, services, and requirements in one place.
Custom quote
We send a quote based on the discovery call and your form answers.
Design direction
We set layout and visual direction before moving into the full build.
Build, revise, launch
We develop the site, work through feedback rounds, then go live with hosting and SEO foundations as needed.
Featured work
A website that helps a local business look established.
Abe Wagler Custom Cabinets needed a clean, trustworthy site that showcased craftsmanship and made it easy to request an estimate. We built a custom website focused on clarity, project proof, and local service credibility. They started with no site. We handled domain registration and management, hosting, form integrations, and basic SEO.
