Website design

A website designer near you

We can design your website. Civic Studio is based in Vacaville and works with small businesses, nonprofits, and public agencies across Solano County, Sacramento County, Napa County, and the San Francisco Bay Area. We meet in person locally and by video call everywhere else.

The right design for your organization

A good website says clearly what you do, who it is for, and how to get in touch. We start there, with your words and your customers in mind, before choosing any tools.

Every site we build is fast, works on phones, and is written in plain language. Search engine basics are built in from the first page, so people in your area can find you.

Built so your team can keep it current

Most websites go stale because updating them requires a developer. We set yours up so someone on your team can change hours, add a page, or post news without calling us.

When you would rather not think about it at all, we offer ongoing updates and maintenance from $50 to $200 per month.

Who we design for

Small businesses

Shops, trades, restaurants, practices, and professional services. A site that brings in calls and makes the first visit easy.

Nonprofits and community groups

Programs, events, donations, and volunteer sign-ups, organized so supporters can find what they need.

Cities, counties, and public agencies

Accessible, plain-language pages and online forms that meet public standards and work for every resident.

What comes with every website

  • Design that works on phones, tablets, and desktops
  • Local search setup, so your business shows up for people nearby
  • Content management your team can use without training
  • Accessibility and plain language throughout
  • Contact forms, online payments, and scheduling when you need them
  • Your domain, hosting, and email set up in your name, not ours

Most website projects start at $3,000. A typical small business site runs $3,000 to $15,000 depending on how many pages and features it needs. Read what drives that range before we talk, if you like.

How a website project goes

1

We talk

A short call or a visit to your place. We learn what you do, who your customers are, and what the site needs to do for you.

2

We design and build

You see real pages early and often. Most small business sites are live within a few weeks.

3

You own it

We hand over the site, the accounts, and a short guide to updating it. Stay on with us for maintenance, or not.

Websites we have designed

A few recent sites for organizations in the region and beyond.
