Web Design & Marketing Agency in Detroit

Web design and marketing that grows Detroit businesses.

Metro Detroit still employs 235,400 people in manufacturing, and the suppliers behind them are often vetted online before an RFQ is ever sent. We build Detroit websites for manufacturers, service firms and local businesses and run the SEO and ads behind them, at fixed prices in US dollars with written replies within one working day.

Four reasons US websites lose customers.

Each one is common, measurable and fixable. Here is what goes wrong, and exactly what we do about it.

01The problem

Your website loses people on their phones

Most visitors arrive on a phone. If the page is slow, cramped or confusing, they leave and call the next business on the list.

How we fix it

A fast, modern website built for phones first

  • Designed for mobile first, then desktop
  • Built to pass Google's Core Web Vitals, with the targets written into the contract
  • A clear next step on every page: call, book or request a quote
02The problem

Customers can't find you, so they find a competitor

If you are not on the first page of Google, in the map results or in AI answers, buyers never see you, however good your work is.

How we fix it

Get found on Google, Maps and AI search

  • SEO for the searches your buyers actually make
  • Google Business Profile and local SEO for every area you serve
  • Google Ads that appear the moment buyers search, measured on real leads
03The problem

Visitors arrive, but the inquiries don't follow

Traffic means nothing if the page doesn't persuade, the form asks too much, or nobody replies fast enough.

How we fix it

Turn more visitors into paying customers

  • Pages that answer buyer questions and show proof where doubt appears
  • Short forms that qualify leads without scaring them off
  • Instant follow-up emails and lead alerts, so no inquiry goes cold
04The problem

An inaccessible website is a legal risk

US businesses are sued over websites that disabled visitors cannot use, and the number of cases is rising.

  • Privacy notice and opt-out controls set up for the CCPA and state privacy laws
The Detroit market

Makers, suppliers and a wave of new firms.

Manufacturing employs 235,400 people in metro Detroit, alongside 369,600 in professional and business services and 374,100 in trade, transportation and utilities. The metro added 4,148 business establishments in 2025, reaching 113,356, and its counties filed 84,473 new business applications, led by Wayne, Oakland and Macomb. Much of this economy sells to other businesses, on specification and price.

We build Detroit sites for buyers who arrive with a part number or a problem: capability pages with machines, tolerances and certifications, downloadable spec sheets, and RFQ forms that accept drawings. For service firms and new businesses, we write clear local pages for each suburb you serve. Every site is tested to WCAG 2.2 AA and tracks each inquiry to the campaign that brought it.

Straight answers

Questions Detroit businesses ask.

How much does a website cost in Detroit?

A starter site of up to five pages begins at $400 and an online store at $800. Suppliers and job shops with capability, equipment and certification pages usually need a bespoke 6 to 15 page site, $700 to $900. The calculator prices your scope in about a minute; then we confirm a fixed dollar figure in writing, with no hourly billing.

Can a website win RFQs for an automotive supplier?

Yes, if it answers an engineer's checklist before they shortlist you. Show processes, machines, tolerances, materials, volumes and certifications such as IATF 16949, add downloadable capability sheets, and make the RFQ form accept drawings. With 235,400 manufacturing jobs in the metro, buyers have options, so we also track which pages produce quote requests.

We email customers in Ontario. Does Canadian law apply to us?

For those emails, yes. Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation covers commercial messages accessed on a computer system in Canada, wherever the sender is. It requires consent, sender identification and a working unsubscribe link. We build sign-up forms that record consent properly and keep Canadian and US lists separate if you need different wording.

We are a new Detroit business. Where should we start?

With a starter site and a complete Google Business Profile. The metro's counties filed 84,473 new business applications in 2025, up 11.9% on the year before, so new firms compete for the same local searches. We build pages that say what you do, where and for whom, then add local SEO to earn reviews and rankings suburb by suburb.

When could our Detroit site go live?

Most starter sites launch in 2 to 3 weeks and bespoke 6 to 15 page sites in 4 to 5. Online stores need 4 to 6 weeks, redesigns 4 to 7, and a landing page 3 to 5 working days. Technical sites with many spec pages depend on how quickly your engineers can review copy, so the dated plan includes their review rounds.

Do you have a Detroit office?

No. We serve Detroit businesses remotely and keep everything in writing: an online brief, a shared board for tasks and approvals, replies within one working day and a staging link every week. You own the finished site, its code and its accounts.
