Lampfront · Web design studio · Charleston, SC
I set up Google profiles and build websites for Charleston trades, salons, clinics and restaurants. Your phone, hours and services go where customers look, and I keep them current each month.
Pilot pricing for my first 3 clients: $500.
Three concept sites for fictional businesses. Hover to look inside; click to open.Tap to open.
No clients to show yet, so I invented three businesses and built each site as if they were paying. Each has a different look, layout and voice. All three are live. Click through like a customer would.

You can, and sometimes you should. What you are really choosing between is your time and mine. A template builder costs less cash. Photos, copy, setup, phone testing and fixing all take longer than the tutorial suggests.
money is really tight right now, you enjoy tinkering and have the evenings, or you only need one page with hours, a phone number and a few photos. For a one-pager, try Carrd.
your time is worth more than the difference, you want the speed and accessibility basics done, you want your Google listing sorted, and you want one person to call when something breaks.
Either way, own your domain and keep the login. If it gets fiddly, get in touch.
You do, always. I register it in your name, or you keep the one you have, and you can move it whenever you like.
Lampfront is new. Rather than show nothing, or borrow someone else's work, I built three sites for invented businesses to the standard I'd build yours. Each one is labelled as a concept.
Every site gets a pass for baseline accessibility and privacy hygiene: alt text, contrast, keyboard use, no tracking by default, and privacy and terms pages. That is a good baseline, not a legal guarantee. The policy pages are templates and your lawyer should review them.
Most of the time goes on photos and feedback, not building. I'll give you a date at kickoff, based on your pages and how quickly you can send things.
The questionnaire, a handful of phone photos (I send a shot list), your hours and prices, and a decision-maker who can say yes. If you have real Google reviews you want quoted, the reviewers need to be OK with it.
50% to start, 50% at launch. The care plan starts at launch; cancel any time with 30 days' notice and the site stays yours.
Yes. Care for a site you already have is $79/mo (small edits, uptime check, Google profile upkeep), and Google profile and local search care is $99/mo (adds a Search Console check, a listings check and a monthly report). I set up, keep current and report on your Google presence, and I never promise rankings.
There's no dashboard, because these are hand-built pages. On the care plan you send me small edits each month and I make them, within your plan's hours.
No. I'm based in Charleston, South Carolina, and work with businesses anywhere, by email, phone and video call.
I build websites for local businesses, one at a time, from Charleston, South Carolina. It all happens online, so location doesn't matter. Lampfront is new, so there is no wall of testimonials here and I won't invent one. What I can show you: three concept sites to click through, a checklist I run on every build, and an honest answer to "should I just do this myself?" (sometimes yes).

When you write, you get me, not a ticket queue.
Tell me about your business and your current site, or that you don't have one. I'll reply with a short, honest review: what's working, what to fix first, and whether you need me at all.
