The silent leak

Your website is costing you customers. You just don't see it happen.

Every day, people Google your business. They tap your link. And within fifty milliseconds — faster than you can blink — they've already decided whether to trust you. Most small businesses are losing that decision before they even know the visit happened.

01

They bounce before your page finishes loading.

53% of mobile visitors abandon a site that takes more than three seconds to load. The average outdated small-business site takes six. That's not a traffic problem — that's a revenue problem.

02

It looks broken on a phone.

Over 62% of web traffic is mobile. Only 28% of small-business sites are fully responsive. The math is brutal: three in four of your visitors are seeing a version of your business that makes them leave.

03

Google is quietly burying you.

Core Web Vitals, mobile usability, on-page SEO — these are ranking factors now, not nice-to-haves. Sites that pass Core Web Vitals rank 28% higher on average. Sites that don't get pushed below competitors who invested.

04

It's silently shaping how customers feel.

75% of consumers judge a company's credibility entirely on website design. If your site looks like it was built in 2012, your prospects assume your business was too. Every outdated detail is a trust tax you're paying.

Before & After

The difference between losing and winning online.

This is what happens when a small business moves from a 2000s-era website to a modern, performance-tuned one. Same business. Same traffic. Completely different outcomes.

Loads in 1.1s Mobile-first Google-ready SEO Conversion-optimized

Every site I build is the after. That's the whole job.

Start Your Transformation
Why O'Neil

A real designer. Not a ticket queue.

Small businesses don't need a 40-person agency. They need one designer who picks up the phone, understands the work, and ships on time. That's the whole model.

You talk to the designer. Always.

No account managers. No ticket queues. No onboarding with a project coordinator who pings someone else. Every email, every call, every revision goes direct to me. That's how the work stays sharp and the timeline stays honest.

Flat, transparent pricing.

Three clear packages. Written scope. Written timeline. One flat price. You know exactly what you're paying before you sign off — and you know exactly what "done" looks like. No hourly surprises. No scope drift.

Built to be found. Built to convert.

Every site ships with Core Web Vitals-ready performance, mobile-first layouts, semantic SEO structure, and Google Analytics installed and configured. You get a site that doesn't just look good — it ranks, loads, and turns visitors into customers.

How it works

From kickoff to launch in two to four weeks.

Four focused steps. No agency-sized slowdowns. Most clients go from first conversation to a live, indexed, fully-working site in under three weeks.

i
Day 1 · 30 min

Discovery

We get on a call. I ask about your business, your customers, your goals, and what "done" actually means for this site. You talk. I listen.

ii
Week 1

Design

I send you a real, clickable mockup — not a template with your logo dropped in. You give feedback. I revise. We lock the visual direction before a single line of code.

iii
Week 2 – 3

Build

I build the site, wire up your forms, connect your analytics, configure your SEO, and set up your domain. You review a live staging link at every milestone.

iv
Launch

Go Live

Final review. Last polish. We push it live. I stay on call for 30 – 60 days of post-launch support included with every project. Then you own it, clean and free.

Flat-rate pricing

Three packages. One honest price.

Every project ships with mobile-first responsive design, on-page SEO, Core Web Vitals tuning, a contact form, and you own everything at the end. Pick the scope that fits your business.

Need something different?

Every business is different, and no three boxes fit everyone. If your project needs 50+ products, a membership portal, or an integration I haven't listed — just tell me. I'll scope it honestly and send you a flat quote. No hourly surprises.

In their words

Small businesses. Real sites. Real results.

▲ 4.3× leads in 90 days

Our old site was costing us jobs and I didn't even know it. Within six weeks of the launch we were getting calls from people who'd never heard of us — and every one of them mentioned how legitimate the new site made us look.

I'd been burned twice before — once by an agency that ghosted me, once by a freelancer who shipped a template. T. built exactly what he sketched on our first call, delivered early, and actually answered his phone. Rare combination.

From 11% → 42% conversion

The Growth package was the best $500 I've spent on the business this year. The site ranks, the site converts, the site makes us look like we belong in a bigger market than we actually serve. And I own it outright.

Real questions

The stuff you're actually wondering.

Every small business owner I talk to has the same five questions. Here are the honest answers.

Can't I just use Wix or Squarespace?+
You can. And for a hobby site, you probably should. Here's the math, though: a professional-looking Wix build takes most first-timers 10–40 hours. If your time is worth $50/hour, that DIY site costs $500–$2,000 in your time, before you pay Wix's monthly fee forever. Starter here is $250, done-for-you, built on a faster stack, and engineered to rank higher on Google. You do the math.
$250 seems too cheap. What's the catch?+
No catch. I'm a small shop with low overhead. I use a proven stack. I'm not paying for a downtown agency office, a sales team, or account managers. Starter is a real, handcrafted 3-page site — not a template with your logo dropped in. The reason it's $250 is because that's what it costs me to do well and still make a living.
How do I know you'll actually finish on time?+
Because it's in my contract. Every project gets a written delivery date. If I miss it — and I haven't yet — you get 10% off. The usual cause of delays isn't design work, it's client feedback. So I keep the revision rounds tight and the communication direct.
What happens after launch? Am I locked in?+
Not at all. You own the site, the domain, the files, and the hosting account. Optional care plans start at $49/month and are month-to-month — cancel anytime. If you want to move to another host or another designer in two years, I'll hand over every file you need. No drama.
Do I have to write all the content myself?+
Not if you don't want to. Copywriting is a $50-per-page add-on. I'll interview you for 45 minutes, draft the full site, and send it back for your edits. Most clients tell me the interview was worth it regardless — it's the clearest they've ever explained what they actually do.
What if I don't like the design?+
Every tier has revision rounds built in. If the first mockup misses, we talk, I revise. In six years I've never had a project where a client felt stuck — because I front-load the discovery call and I don't start designing until I understand your business. Misses are usually a sign I didn't listen well enough the first time; that's on me to fix, not you to pay for.

Selected work

Real before and after.

Every small-business website I build follows the same playbook: strip the clutter, fix the speed, clarify the offer, make it mobile-first, and ship it. Here's what that looks like in practice.

About O'Neil Web Design

One designer. One mission.

Hi — I'm T. O'Neil. I build websites for small businesses that have outgrown their old one, never had one worth showing, or have been burned by an agency promise that never shipped.

My whole approach is the opposite of an agency. I answer my own emails. I do the design, the build, and the launch myself. I charge a flat price, write a real contract, and ship on the date I promised. That's it. That's the model.

T
Three things I believe

What a small-business website actually owes you.

Your time is the asset.

You didn't start your business to fiddle with a site builder for forty hours. The whole job of a designer is to give you back your time. I take the problem away — fully — and hand you back a finished, working site.

Clarity beats cleverness.

Your customers aren't design critics. They're busy people trying to decide if you're legit. Every design decision on your site should make that decision easier, faster, and more favorable. Everything else is vanity.

You should own what you paid for.

When a project ends, you own the domain, the code, the files, and the hosting account. No platform lock-in. No monthly tax forever. If you ever want to leave, I'll help you leave clean.

Want to see if we'd work well together?
