Jim McNamara's Review Sourced from Google
Gemini Creative website help session: Glenn Geiger helped me focus on what the exact purpose of my site was and how I could better address/present it. He answered all questions clearly while giving a solid design direction I could consider. A bonus was him showing me web tools I wasn’t familiar with. I’ve put all of his suggestions into upgrading my website.I highly recommend this service!

Positive experience all around with Glenn and Doug, Gemini Creative. Together we got a client from page 39 of SERPs to page 1 in a very short time. Their process was smooth, clear and their low-key vibe was wonderful. Grateful for the chance to work with Gemini. Good partners for sure!

Susan Silver's Review Sourced from Google
Our website looks fabulous and is so user friendly now, thanks to Glenn Geiger! All our clients love the new design and navigation and so do we. Glenn was so easy to work with and full of great creative ideas. Our brainstorming sessions always ended with positive results. From teaching us how to use the dashboard in Wordpress to coming up with solutions for our requests he always came through. We have recommended him and his team to many others and will continue to do so.
Show moreWeb design agencies provide a range of services to plan, create, and improve business websites. Their core services include:Â
Beyond these core services, many web design companies also support digital marketing, including search engine optimization, content marketing, and email marketing to help improve visibility in search engines and attract potential customers. Â
Some also offer brand identity, graphic design, and ongoing web design services like maintenance, updates, and performance improvements to strengthen your online presence over time.Â
Professional web design services typically range between $5,000 and $60,000+, depending on complexity, features, and level of customization. Their projects commonly start around $10,000 to $15,000 and can exceed $50,000 for advanced websites.Â
Here is a general breakdown:Â
Several factors influence what website design companies charge. The biggest cost drivers include the number of pages, level of custom website design, and required web development. Features like booking systems, ecommerce functionality, or integrations increase the price because they require more design and development hours.Â
In addition to the initial build, many web design companies charge ongoing maintenance fees ranging from $1,200 to $12,000 per year, which cover updates, security, and performance improvements.Â
A typical website design company timeline ranges from a few days to several months, depending on scope, content readiness, and required web development.Â
Most delays come from two things: missing content (copy, images, product data) and an unclear scope that expands during the web design project. Â
If content is ready and approvals are fast, timelines compress. If content is late and feedback is slow, timelines stretch.Â
Hidden web design costs usually show up in two phases: before launch and after launch.Â
These costs appear because a website build quote often covers only the core design and development. Anything tied to licensing, content production, ongoing ownership, or changes outside the original scope gets billed separately unless the statement of work includes it.Â
Web design defines the visual interface and user experience of a website, while web development implements that design through code and technical functionality.Â
