Who we are

A Jacksonville web design & app development company.

Socially Bold Web & Apps is a local team that designs, builds and markets websites, mobile apps and custom software for businesses in Jacksonville, across Florida and around the U.S.

For more than 10 years we have helped Northeast Florida businesses get more out of the web. We have launched 100+ websites and apps for home service companies, medical practices, law firms, home builders, restaurants, schools, manufacturers and national brands, and we are rated 5.0 on Google from 33 reviews. When you hire us, you talk directly with the people designing and building your project, at our office at 12620 Beach Blvd, Suite #3, Jacksonville, FL 32246, not an account manager passing messages to a team you never meet.

If you are comparing Jacksonville web design companies, here is what is different about the way we build:

✓

Hand-built, not templated

Every site is designed around your customers and your services, then built by hand with clean, lightweight code. No bloated page builders and no recycled theme with your logo swapped in.

✓

Fast on every phone

Speed is part of the design. Our own homepage scores in the 90s on Google PageSpeed for mobile, and we hold client builds to the same standard, because slow pages lose visitors and rankings.

✓

SEO and tracking set up at launch

Page titles, headings, schema markup, redirects, Google Search Console, Analytics and call and form tracking are in place on launch day, so you can see what is working from the first week.

✓

You own everything

Your domain, website, content, code and accounts are yours. There is no proprietary platform to get locked into and nothing held back if you ever decide to move on.

Services

Websites, apps and marketing under one roof.

Most businesses need more than a website. Because design, development and marketing live on the same team, nothing gets lost between vendors.

Not sure where to start? Many clients begin with a new website, then add SEO, Google Ads or an app once the foundation is in place. We will tell you plainly what is likely to make a difference for your business and what can wait.

Common questions

Jacksonville web design FAQ.

How do I choose a Jacksonville web design company?

Look at real work they have launched, read their Google reviews, and ask who will actually design and build your site. Ask whether SEO, speed and tracking are included at launch, how long the project will take, and whether you will own the domain, content and code when it is done. A good web design company should explain its process in plain language and show you previews before launch.

Do you build mobile apps and software as well as websites?

Yes. Alongside websites, we build iOS and Android apps, web apps, customer portals, internal tools and integrations. See our mobile app development and custom software development pages for details.

Do you work with small businesses?

Yes. Many of our clients are small and mid-sized Northeast Florida businesses, from home service companies and restaurants to medical practices and law firms, and we also work with national brands and franchises. We scope each project around what your business actually needs.

How long does it take to build a website?

Most small business websites launch in about 4 to 8 weeks once content and photos are ready. Larger custom websites, online stores and apps take longer, often 8 to 16 weeks or more depending on features. You get a written timeline in your plan before any work starts.

Will my new website be found on Google?

Every site we build launches with the technical SEO foundation in place: clean code, fast load times, page titles, headings, schema markup, a sitemap and Google Search Console. No one can honestly guarantee rankings, because Google decides those, but a fast, well-structured site gives you a strong start, and ongoing local SEO builds on it.

Do I own my website when it is finished?

Yes. Your domain, website files, content, images and accounts such as Google Analytics and your Google Business Profile belong to you. If you ever decide to move on, you take everything with you.

Can you redesign my existing website without losing Google rankings?

Yes, when the redesign is handled carefully. We benchmark your current rankings, map every existing URL, set up 301 redirects, carry over the titles and content that already rank, and check Google Search Console after launch. Our guide on how to redesign a website without losing SEO rankings walks through the full checklist.

Should my website be built on WordPress or custom code?

It depends on how you will use it. WordPress is a good fit when your team wants to edit pages, posts and photos often; a custom build makes sense for unusual features, demanding speed goals or app-like functionality. We recommend the right fit after learning about your business. Read WordPress vs. Webflow vs. custom websites for a plain-language comparison.

What areas do you serve?

We are based in Jacksonville and serve all of Northeast Florida, including the Beaches, Ponte Vedra, Nocatee, St. Augustine, Orange Park, Fernandina Beach and Amelia Island. We also work with businesses in Palm Coast, Daytona Beach, Gainesville, Ocala, Tampa, Tallahassee and across the U.S.
