St. Augustine website design, redesign & development.
Custom websites, website redesigns, local SEO and Google Business Profile management for small businesses in St. Augustine and the historic district, from a web design team based just up the road in Jacksonville.
What's included.
Website design & development
Custom-designed, hand-coded sites that fit a historic, tourism-driven market — not a generic template.
Local SEO for St. Augustine
So visitors and locals searching for your service in St. Augustine actually find you, not just businesses downtown.
Google Business Profile management
Accurate hours, service area, photos and posts — critical in a market where tourists are searching "near me" constantly.
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.
Built for a tourism-driven economy.
St. Augustine businesses deal with a search pattern most cities don't — a huge share of demand is from visitors searching in the moment, not just locals planning ahead. That means your site and Google Business Profile need to load fast on mobile, answer "are you open right now" clearly, and rank for both "near me" and destination-style searches. We build with that pattern in mind, not a generic small-business template.
Website design across St. Augustine and St. Johns County.
We build websites for businesses in the historic downtown and Lincolnville, Anastasia Island and St. Augustine Beach, Vilano Beach, St. Augustine Shores, World Golf Village, Palencia and out to Hastings, plus nearby Ponte Vedra and Nocatee. Our office is at 12620 Beach Blvd, Suite #3, Jacksonville, about 40 minutes north, and we’re glad to meet in person in St. Augustine.

Small business web design in St. Augustine.
Most of the businesses we build for in St. Augustine are owner-run: a shop on St. George Street, a contractor in St. Augustine Shores, a practice off US-1, a charter out of the municipal marina. Small business web design here has to be practical: easy to update, quick to load, and focused on the calls, bookings and visits that pay the bills.
Pages that match how people search
A page for each main service or offering, written in the words customers use, so you can show up for specific searches instead of one generic homepage.
Built-in local SEO
Titles, headings, schema, internal links and location details set up at launch, plus help with your Google Business Profile in St. Augustine so the map pack and the website support each other.
Hosting, updates and backups
Fast, secure website hosting with updates, backups and uptime monitoring handled for you, so a small business doesn’t need its own IT person.
Leads you can see
Calls, form submissions and bookings tracked in Google Analytics, so you know which pages and searches bring in customers.
Want ads running alongside the new site? See Google Ads management in St. Augustine. Serving the wider county? See web design in St. Johns County and web design in Ponte Vedra & Nocatee.
Built to load fast, rank and be easy to update.
Mobile-first, responsive design
Designed for the phone first, since that’s how many visitors find you while they’re in town, then scaled up for tablets and desktops.
Fast load times
Lean code and light images. Our own site scores 92 on Google PageSpeed mobile, and we hold client builds to the same standard.
SEO built in
Page titles, headings, schema markup, internal links and a sitemap from launch, aligned with your Google Business Profile.
An easy-to-use CMS
WordPress or a simple custom CMS your team can update without a developer. See WordPress web design.
Lead capture & tracking
Click-to-call, short forms, booking links and analytics, so you know which pages bring in customers.
Security & backups

Website redesign in St. Augustine, without losing what works.
Many St. Augustine businesses already have a website. It's just slow, dated or hard to use on a phone. A redesign keeps your domain, your rankings and the content that already brings in customers, and fixes everything around it.
Audit what you have
Speed, mobile layout, search rankings and which pages bring in calls, so the redesign protects what's working.
Redesign for visitors and locals
Mobile-first layouts, clear hours and directions, booking and click-to-call for tourists, and service pages for residents.
Relaunch without losing rankings
Every old URL redirected, titles and schema carried over, and Google Search Console checked after launch.
Hosting & ongoing care
Fast, secure hosting, updates and backups, so the new site stays quick and protected.
Signs your St. Augustine website is due for a redesign
It's hard to use on a phone
Most visitors find you on a phone, often while they're already downtown. Pinch-to-zoom text, tiny buttons or a menu that won't open sends them to the next business.
Hours, menus or prices are out of date
If updating the site means calling a developer, it falls behind. A redesign can give you a site your team can edit in minutes.
It loads slowly
Large photos and old plugins are common on older sites. Slow pages lose visitors and rank lower in Google, especially on mobile data near the bayfront.
Booking sends people somewhere else
Tours, inns and restaurants lose bookings when the reservation link opens an unbranded page or a dead end. We build booking and ordering into the site.
You've stopped showing up in search
Missing service pages, thin content and no local signals let competitors outrank you for searches like “St. Augustine” plus your service.
It no longer looks like your business
New services, a new location or a refreshed brand should show up online. A redesign brings the site back in line with what customers find in person.

Local SEO in St. Augustine, FL.
A new website is only half the job. St. Augustine businesses compete for two kinds of searches at once: visitors deciding what to do today, and St. Johns County residents hiring someone for a project. Our local SEO work covers both, alongside the website we build or the one you already have. See the full local SEO in St. Augustine service.
Map pack & Google Business Profile
Categories, services, photos, hours and posts kept accurate, so you show up on the map when someone nearby searches. See Google Business Profile optimization in St. Augustine.
Visitor and resident keywords
Separate pages and phrases for “near the historic district” visitor searches and “St. Augustine” plus service searches from people who live here.
Town-level pages
St. Augustine Beach, Vilano Beach, World Golf Village and the rest of St. Johns County named on real pages, not a footer list. See St. Johns County web design.
Reviews & consistent listings
The same name, address and phone everywhere, plus a simple routine for asking happy customers for reviews. See local SEO services.

FAQ
Do you work with businesses in St. Augustine specifically, or just Jacksonville?
Regularly — St. Augustine, Vilano Beach, and St. Augustine Beach are all within our normal service area, about 40 minutes from our Jacksonville office.
Do you understand the tourism side of the local market, or just typical small business SEO?
Both — we build for the "is this place open right now, near me" search pattern that drives a lot of St. Augustine traffic, not just standard local SEO.
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.
How long does a website redesign take?
It depends on the number of pages and how much content is ready. Most small business sites launch within a few weeks once content is ready; larger or custom builds take longer, and we give you a schedule in the quote.
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, hours and offers without calling a developer.
Do you build online booking and e-commerce for tourism businesses?
Yes. We add booking, reservation and online store features so visitors can book or buy directly from your site instead of only through third-party platforms.
Do you offer hosting and ongoing maintenance?
Yes. We offer fast, secure hosting with updates and backups, so the site stays quick and protected after launch.
Can we meet in person in St. Augustine?
Yes. St. Augustine is within our regular in-person service area, and you're also welcome at our Jacksonville office at 12620 Beach Blvd, Suite #3.
How much does a website cost in St. Augustine?
It depends on the number of pages, features such as booking or e-commerce, and how much content we write. We quote after a short call about your goals and budget range. Our St. Augustine website cost guide explains what drives the price.
