Web Design

Business websites, personal profiles, and portfolios

We build fast, mobile-first websites around what you need people to understand, remember, and do next, whether that is booking a table, requesting a quote, viewing a body of work, or commissioning a piece.

For a business, your website is the storefront for everyone who finds you online. For an artist, maker, consultant, or independent professional, it may be the first complete view anyone gets of your work. In both cases, the site has a few seconds to feel credible, load quickly, and make the next step obvious. We build for that moment.

Best for businesses and independent professionals whose website is dated, generic, hard to use on a phone, or nonexistent. Not the right fit if the website already does its job and the real problem is a broken internal workflow; look at custom software instead. If a local business site is sound but hard to find, start with local SEO or the free check-up.

Built for local customers ready to act

We design around what your customers actually do: find your hours, see your menu or services, get directions, read reviews, and reach out. Every page points toward a clear action.

  • Mobile-first and fast — built for the phone, where local search happens, and tuned to load quickly.
  • Easy to contact — click-to-call, maps, hours, and simple contact or quote forms front and center.
  • Clear offering — services, menus, or products laid out so visitors understand what you do at a glance.
  • Built to convert — strong calls-to-action, review sections, and booking or quote paths that move people forward.
  • Easy to update — so your hours, specials, and photos never go stale.

Built for work worth presenting

A personal site should not read like a business template with the labels changed. We shape profiles and portfolios around the work itself: selected projects or collections, biography and credentials, commissions or services, and a clear way to inquire, book, buy, or collaborate.

  • A clear point of view - typography, pacing, and layout that support the work rather than overpower it.
  • Flexible project structure - enough context to make each piece meaningful without burying visitors in an archive.
  • A useful next step - commissions, print sales, speaking, bookings, licensing, or a simple introduction.
  • Built beyond social media - a durable home you control, not a profile shaped by someone else's feed.

See real examples

Our work is not a wall of screenshots. Every demo is a real website you can click through, from restaurants, charters, and shops to a fully working creative portfolio. It is the fastest way to picture your own. For the essentials a local business site needs, our guide on the five things every local website needs is a good starting point.

Common questions

Web Design — straight answers

Can you redesign my existing website instead of starting over?

Usually, yes. We'll look at what's working, what's hurting you, and whether a refresh or a rebuild makes more sense — then recommend the smaller option whenever it solves the problem. The free check-up is the fastest way to get that read.

Will my site work well on phones?

That's the priority, not an afterthought. We design mobile-first, whether a visitor needs calling, directions, and booking in one tap or a portfolio needs to make images, project details, and inquiries feel effortless on a small screen.

Do you build personal websites and creative portfolios?

Yes. We build personal profiles and portfolios for artists, photographers, makers, consultants, and other independent professionals. A straightforward portfolio can fit Bronze; larger archives, shops, or highly bespoke interactions are scoped higher.

Do I own the website when it's done?

You own the final project-specific website, your domain, and your content, and every project ends with training and a clean handoff. NorthHead retains reusable tools and code libraries; your proposal spells out the distinction. Optional monthly care is never a lock-in.

How much does a website cost and how long does it take?

Sites start at $500 (Bronze) and most go live in 1–4 weeks depending on the package and how quickly content and approvals come together. See the pricing page for the full tier breakdown.
