NCI Web Design · websites for small business

Every website starts as a spec, not a guess.

We're a small studio for businesses done with slow, generic websites. Every project is scoped, designed, and built like it actually matters — because it's the first thing your customers see.

SPEC 01/07 Why NCI

Four things we do differently

A — RESULTS FIRST

Built to perform

Every site is scoped around what it needs to do for your business — more calls, more leads, more bookings — not around billable hours.

B — NO JARGON

A plain-language process

You'll always know what phase you're in and what's next. No black box, no surprise invoices.

C — NO LOCK-IN

You own everything

Your domain, your hosting, your code. Nothing proprietary holding your business hostage if you ever want to move.

D — AFTER LAUNCH

Care that continues

Optional monthly care plans keep the site fast, secure, and current — so it's still working for you a year from now.

SPEC 02/07 Services

What we build

SVC‑01

Website design & build

Custom-designed marketing and small business sites, mobile-first and fast from day one.

Focused single-page sites for a launch, an offer, or a lead-generation campaign.

SVC‑03

Brand & logo design

Wordmarks, icons, and visual identity systems — like the one on this page.

SVC‑04

Website care & hosting

Ongoing updates, backups, and monitoring so nothing quietly breaks after launch.

SVC‑05

SEO foundations

Technical setup, sitemaps, and on-page basics so search engines can actually find you.

SVC‑06

Copy & content

Web copy that explains what you do and why it matters — written for search and for humans.

SPEC 03/07 Process

Five phases, start to finish

01

Discover

A short call about your business, your customers, and what the site needs to do.

02

Design

A layout and look built around your content — no generic template.

03

Build

The design becomes a real, fast, working site — you see progress along the way.

04

Launch

Domain, hosting, and go-live handled — with a walkthrough of how everything works.

05

Maintain

Optional care plan for updates, backups, and small changes after launch.

SPEC 04/07 Design directions

Pick a direction, we'll make it yours

Every project is designed from scratch around your business — these three starting points just show the range.

Bold & colorful

Big type, warm color, personality up front — hard to scroll past.

BEST FOR — CAFES, SALONS, EVENTS, CREATIVE BRANDS

SPEC 06/07 About

Built by someone tired of bad websites, too.

NCI Web Design is a small studio for businesses tired of overpriced templates and web developers who disappear after launch. We keep it simple: real conversations, clear pricing, and a site that actually works.

We're small on purpose. You work directly with the person building your site — no account managers, no hand-offs, no outsourcing.
