Web Design in St. Petersburg, FL
We live here, we work here, and we build websites for the businesses that make this city run. Custom sites, $99/mo. You see the finished product before you spend a dime.
Our Home Turf
We are not targeting St. Pete. We are from St. Pete.
There is a difference between a web design company that lists St. Petersburg as a "service area" and one that actually lives here. We are the second kind. We grab coffee on Central Avenue. We know that Beach Drive gets packed on weekends and that the Saturday Morning Market is the best place to find local makers doing incredible work. We have sat through enough summer storms to know why every roofer in Pinellas County stays busy year-round.
That local knowledge is not just trivia. It shapes how we build websites. When we write content for a St. Petersburg business, we are not pulling generic phrases out of a marketing playbook. We reference the neighborhoods, the landmarks, and the local culture that your customers actually recognize. Google notices that specificity, and it helps you rank.
We started St Pete Sites because we saw too many great local businesses stuck with terrible websites. The auto detail shop on 34th Street with a Wix site that takes eight seconds to load. The restaurant in the Grand Central District still running a Facebook page as their only web presence. The contractor in Shore Acres who paid $6,000 for a WordPress site that broke every time a plugin updated.
Those businesses deserve better. So we built a model that actually works for them: we design and develop your site for free, you review it, and if you love it, it is $99 per month with a 12-month commitment. That includes hosting, security, updates, and a real person you can text when you need something changed.
The St. Pete Advantage
Why St. Petersburg businesses need a strong web presence
St. Petersburg is not the sleepy retirement town it used to be. The population has surged, new restaurants and shops open every month, and the competition for local customers has never been fiercer. If you are running a business here, your online presence is not optional anymore. It is the first thing people check.
Think about how people find businesses in this city. A couple staying at the Vinoy wants brunch nearby. A homeowner in Old Northeast needs a plumber before their bathroom floods. Someone driving down 4th Street is looking for the best barber in St. Pete. Every single one of those searches starts on a phone. And if your business does not show up, or if your website looks outdated, they go to whoever does show up.
The tourism factor makes this even more important. St. Petersburg draws millions of visitors every year for the beaches, the museums, the murals, and the food scene. Those visitors are searching on their phones constantly. A well-built website with proper local SEO means your business captures both the year-round residents and the tourist traffic.
And then there is the growth. New developments are going up throughout downtown and the surrounding neighborhoods. New residents are moving in from other states, and the first thing they do is Google the services they need. The businesses that have invested in a professional, fast, mobile-friendly website are the ones winning those new customers.

Our Process
From text message to live website in about a week
We keep things simple. No lengthy proposals, no drawn-out timelines, no confusing contracts. Here is how it works.
Send us a text
Text us at 941-504-2078. Tell us what your business does, what is working, and what is not. If you have a current website you are unhappy with, share the link. If you have seen a competitor's site you admire, send that too. This whole thing starts with a casual conversation, not a sales call.
We research your market
Before we design anything, we look at your local competition, the keywords your customers are searching, and the gaps in your current online presence. For a St. Petersburg business, that means understanding your specific neighborhood, your service area, and what the top-ranking competitors are doing right and wrong.
Design and build
We build your site from scratch. Custom layout, hand-picked typography, optimized images, and content written to resonate with St. Pete customers. Every site is mobile-first, fast-loading, and built with clean code. No WordPress, no Wix, no templates.
You review it for free
We send you a preview link to the finished website. Not a mockup, not a wireframe, the actual site. Want changes? We make unlimited revisions until you are completely happy. If you decide it is not for you, there is no charge. Zero risk.
Go live and grow
Once approved, we connect your domain, set up SSL security, configure everything, and push your site live. From there, your $99 per month covers ongoing hosting, support, and updates. Need to change your hours, add new photos, or build out a whole new section? Just text us.
Real Local Work
What we have built for businesses like yours
We have built websites for businesses across St. Petersburg and Pinellas County. A roofing company that needed to look credible enough to win insurance restoration jobs. An auto detailing business that wanted to show off their ceramic coating work with a gallery that actually loads fast on mobile. A lawn care company that needed to rank in local search results and start getting calls instead of relying entirely on word of mouth.
The common thread? Every one of these businesses was either paying too much for a website that was not performing, or they did not have a site at all and were losing business because of it. We built each one from scratch, optimized it for search, and launched it at $99 per month.
One of our favorite projects was a pressure washing company that had been paying $120 per month just for hosting on a WordPress site that scored a 34 on Google PageSpeed. We rebuilt it from the ground up, and the new site scores a 97. Same business, same services, completely different online presence. That is the kind of difference that shows up in search rankings and customer first impressions.
If your business is in St. Petersburg and your website is not working as hard as you are, we should talk. Text us and we will show you what a better site looks like.
Pricing
$99/mo. Everything included.
12-month commitment. No setup fees. No hidden costs. Your complete web presence for less than your monthly streaming subscriptions.
Get Your Free WebsiteMost web design agencies in St. Petersburg charge somewhere between $3,000 and $10,000 upfront. And that is before you factor in monthly hosting, plugin updates, and the inevitable "that will be extra" conversation every time you need a change.
We think local businesses deserve a better deal. A cafe on Central Avenue should not have to choose between a decent website and making payroll. A one-person landscaping crew in Kenwood should not be priced out of having a professional online presence.

FAQ
Common questions from St. Petersburg business owners
How much does a website cost for a St. Petersburg business?
At St Pete Sites, it is $99 per month with a 12-month commitment. That covers custom design, hosting, SSL, SEO setup, and ongoing support. No large upfront cost. Most agencies in the area charge $3,000 to $10,000 just to get started, then tack on monthly fees for hosting and changes. Our model gives you a professional site without the financial hit.
Do you actually build my website before I pay?
Yes. We design and develop your complete website before you spend a dollar. You get a preview link to the real, finished site. Want revisions? Unlimited until you are happy. If you decide not to move forward, you owe nothing. We take the risk so you do not have to.
How long does it take to build a website in St. Petersburg?
Most sites are ready for your review within three to five business days. Simpler single-page sites can be done faster. Once you approve the design, we go live within 24 hours. The entire process from first text to live website is about one week.
Do you offer SEO services for St. Petersburg businesses?
Every website we build includes foundational SEO: proper meta tags, schema markup, clean code, fast load times, and mobile optimization. For businesses that want to rank higher in local search results and appear in the Google map pack, we offer dedicated SEO services starting at $300 per month. That includes Google Business Profile optimization, local citation building, monthly content, and performance reporting.
Why not use WordPress or Wix for my St. Pete business website?
We build with modern frameworks like Next.js because they are faster, more secure, and significantly better for SEO. WordPress sites require constant plugin updates and are the most common target for hackers on the internet. Our sites load in under two seconds and consistently score above 90 on Google PageSpeed. That speed directly affects your search rankings and customer experience.
Can I meet my web designer in person in St. Petersburg?
Absolutely. We are based right here in St. Pete. We have met clients over coffee along Central Avenue, walked through revisions in person downtown, and we are always happy to connect locally. That said, most of our communication happens over text because it is fast and easy. Whatever works best for you.
