Web Development for Small Businesses
Your small business deserves a website that works as hard as you do. We build affordable, high-performing custom websites that attract customers, generate leads, and help you compete with the big players.
Why Your Small Business Needs a Professional Website
In today's digital-first world, your website is often the first impression potential customers have of your business. A professional, well-built website is no longer a luxury - it's a necessity for small businesses that want to grow.
Studies show that 97% of consumers search online for local businesses, and 75% judge a company's credibility based on its website design. If your website is outdated, slow, or non-existent, you're losing customers to competitors who have invested in their online presence.
At CodeVix, we specialize in building websites for small businesses that don't just look good - they perform. Our sites are engineered to rank in Google, convert visitors into customers, and give you a professional digital presence that builds trust and credibility.

How much does a small business website cost?
A professional small business website typically costs between $3,000 and $10,000 depending on complexity. A basic 5-page business site starts around $3,000, while a site with custom features like booking systems, e-commerce, or client portals can range from $7,000 to $15,000. At CodeVix, we offer flexible pricing and payment plans for small businesses.
How long does it take to build a small business website?
Most small business websites take 3 to 6 weeks from kickoff to launch. A simple brochure-style site can be ready in 2-3 weeks, while a more complex site with custom functionality may take 6-8 weeks. We provide a clear timeline during our free consultation.
Do I need a custom website or can I use a template?
For small businesses competing in local markets, a custom website delivers significantly better ROI. Custom sites load faster, rank better in Google, and create a unique brand impression. Templates work for very basic needs, but most small businesses outgrow them within a year. We help you make the right choice based on your budget and goals.

Can you help my small business rank on Google?
Yes. Every website we build includes on-page SEO best practices: proper heading structure, meta tags, schema markup, fast load times, mobile optimization, and clean URLs. We also offer ongoing SEO services to help you rank for local keywords and attract more customers.
Do you offer website maintenance for small businesses?
Yes, we offer affordable monthly maintenance packages that include security updates, backups, content updates, performance monitoring, and technical support. This ensures your website stays secure, fast, and up-to-date without you having to worry about it.
