Web Design & SEO in St. Louis
Most St. Louis buyers make up their minds on a phone before they ever pick it up to call. We design and build fast websites for local companies, with technical SEO, plain service pages and distinct location pages for the city neighborhoods and county suburbs you actually serve, so a searcher in Webster Groves sees one page and a searcher in St. Charles sees another written for them.
What a St. Louis site has to handle
Uneven connections across counties
The 2020 to 2024 American Community Survey, as summarized in Census QuickFacts, found broadband subscriptions in 86.8 percent of city households, against 95.1 percent in St. Charles County. A site that loads slowly on a phone plan loses part of the city audience before a single word is read, so we compress images, trim scripts and keep the call button and a short form visible without scrolling.
Searchers ignore the city limits
Because the city split from the county in 1876, residents of Clayton, Kirkwood or University City live in St. Louis County yet still type "St. Louis" into a search bar. The county covers 507.88 square miles to the city's 61.74. Your site has to state its service area plainly, with location pages and structured data that tell search engines which municipalities you really cover.
How we build here
Location pages with substance
Each page for Kirkwood, University City or St. Charles names the services you offer there, realistic response times and examples from nearby jobs, rather than one paragraph with a different suburb pasted in.
Built for weaker connections
Light pages, compressed photos and tap-to-call buttons keep the site usable for the more than one in eight city households without a broadband subscription.
Easy for your staff
We hand over a site your team can edit, with forms wired to your CRM and analytics that show which pages produce calls and quote requests.

- Downtown St. Louis

Questions and answers
Yes, if it is organized for both. Because the county wraps around an independent city, people in places like Clayton still search for "St. Louis." We pair a strong main page for each service with location pages for the municipalities you serve, consistent business details everywhere, and internal links tying them together.
Plan on roughly six to ten weeks for a typical local service site, with the range depending on page count and how fast copy and photos come back approved. Larger B2B sites with technical documentation take longer, and we set the schedule before work starts.
We do, with your input. A short interview with you and your staff gives us the services, service areas and details that make each page specific to your business, and nothing goes live until you have reviewed and approved it.
