Website design & development for Fernandina Beach & Amelia Island, FL.
Custom websites, website redesigns, local SEO and Google Business Profile management for businesses across Amelia Island and Nassau County, from the historic district on Centre Street to Yulee, Callahan and Hilliard, built by a web design team based an easy drive south in Jacksonville.
What's included.
Website design & development
Custom-designed, hand-coded sites built for a market shaped by tourism, hospitality and a strong year-round local community, not a template with your logo on it.
Local SEO for Nassau County
So people searching “Fernandina Beach” or “Amelia Island” plus your service actually find you, not just a generic statewide result. See local SEO.
Google Business Profile management
Accurate hours, service area, photos and posts, which matter even more where a lot of demand is “open now, near me” visitor search. See Google Business Profile management.
Website repair & speed optimization
Broken layout, a slow site, a plugin conflict after an update: we diagnose and fix existing sites, not just build new ones.
Website redesigns
Keep your domain, your rankings and the pages that already bring in bookings and calls, and replace the dated design, slow code and weak mobile layout around them.
Web apps & mobile apps
Guest portals, booking tools and companion apps when a website alone isn’t enough. See mobile app development.
Visitors and locals search differently.
Good web design in Fernandina Beach has to serve two very different people. One is planning a trip from out of state, comparing inns, rentals, restaurants and charters weeks before they arrive, or standing on Centre Street searching “open now” on a phone. The other lives here year-round in Fernandina Beach, Yulee or western Nassau County and needs a dentist, a roofer, an accountant or a dinner spot that isn’t built only for tourists. A site that speaks to just one of them leaves business on the table.
We plan the site around both. Visitor-facing pages lead with photos, availability, directions and a clear way to book or reserve. Resident-facing pages name the communities you actually serve, list your services plainly and make it easy to call. And because so many island searches happen in the moment, we keep hours, menus and seasonal changes easy for your team to update, and matched to your Google Business Profile, so a visitor never shows up to a locked door.

Historic downtown & Centre Street
Shops, galleries, restaurants, bars and inns in the historic district near the Port of Fernandina, where walk-in visitors decide on a phone in seconds.
Amelia Island beaches & resort areas
Vacation rentals, charters, golf, spas, wedding venues and the businesses around the island’s resorts that depend on visitors finding them before the trip. See website design for boutique inns & resorts.
Yulee & the A1A corridor
New neighborhoods, shopping centers and medical offices on the mainland side, where home services, healthcare and family businesses compete hard in the map pack.

Small-town contractors, agriculture and timber businesses, churches and local shops that need a simple, clear online presence customers can trust.
Our office is at 12620 Beach Blvd, Suite #3, Jacksonville. We don’t have an office in Fernandina Beach or Nassau County, but the island is an easy drive up I-95 or A1A, and we’re glad to meet in person at your business when it helps. Many projects also run smoothly over video calls and email. Just across the St. Marys River, we also build for businesses in Kingsland, St. Marys and Brunswick, GA.

FAQ
Do you work with businesses on Amelia Island, or just Jacksonville proper?
Regularly. Fernandina Beach, Amelia Island, Yulee, Callahan, Hilliard and the rest of Nassau County are all within our normal service area.
Do you have an office in Fernandina Beach or Nassau County?
No. Our office is at 12620 Beach Blvd, Suite #3, Jacksonville, an easy drive from the island. We’re glad to meet in person at your business when it’s useful, and many projects also run over video calls.
Do you understand the tourism and hospitality side of the local market?
Yes. We build for the “is this place open right now, near me” pattern that drives a lot of Amelia Island search traffic, and for visitors planning trips weeks ahead, on top of standard local SEO for year-round residents and businesses.
Can my website take direct bookings instead of relying only on listing sites?
Yes. We connect your site to the booking engine or reservation system you already use and design room, rental and package pages that make booking direct the easy choice. Listing sites can still help guests discover you; your own site should be where they book with confidence.
Should my website target Fernandina Beach, Amelia Island or Yulee?
Usually all of the places you really serve. Visitors tend to search “Amelia Island,” residents often search by their town, and mainland customers search “Yulee.” A strong main page plus clear mentions or dedicated pages for each area helps you show up for all of them.
Can you fix a site someone else built?
In most cases, yes. We’ll audit what’s there first and tell you plainly whether it’s worth repairing or better to rebuild.
Will a redesign hurt my Google rankings?
Not when it’s handled carefully. We map every existing URL, redirect old pages, carry over the titles and content that rank, and check Google Search Console after launch.
Can I update the website myself?
Yes. We build on WordPress or a simple custom CMS and show you how to edit pages, photos, seasonal hours, events and specials without calling a developer.
Do you also help with Google Business Profile and the map pack?
Yes. We set up and manage Google Business Profiles alongside the website, so your hours, categories, service area and reviews all point the same way. Our Fernandina Beach Google Business Profile checklist covers the basics.
Can you guarantee first-page rankings?
No one can honestly guarantee Google rankings. What we do is build the foundations that help: fast, mobile-friendly pages, clear local content, correct technical SEO and an accurate Google Business Profile, and then we track results and keep improving.
