What clients say once the site is live.
“Holy City Web Design completely transformed our website. It looks amazing, loads fast, and I've actually started getting inquiries through it, which never happened before. I wish we'd found them sooner!”
“From start to finish, they were professional, responsive, and creative. We've gotten so many compliments on our new site, and it's already showing up higher in search results. Couldn't be happier.”
“We're a small family business, and Holy City made us feel like a priority from day one. Our new website feels modern and legit, and it's helped build trust with new customers.”
Web design across the whole Lowcountry.
Home base is downtown. Every community here has its own website design page, written for that neighborhood, and the same small business pricing applies across the Charleston area.
Questions, answered plainly.
How much does web design cost in Charleston, SC?
A small business website is $400 a month on a 12-month term, or $3,500 one-time. Larger projects with e-commerce, integrations, or multiple locations start at $7,500 and are quoted after a discovery call. SEO plans run $400 or $800 a month. Every number is fixed before work begins, and the full breakdown is on the pricing page. Both website options include a custom design, copy written from your intake questionnaire, and the basic SEO setup a Charleston business needs to get found: keyword-targeted titles and headings, LocalBusiness schema, a Google Business Profile linked to the site, and Search Console and Analytics installed.
How long does a website take to build?
A small business website launches 2 weeks after your intake questionnaire is complete. Larger projects with e-commerce or custom features run longer, typically 4 to 8 weeks or more depending on scope, and you see progress every week rather than a big reveal at the end. On the monthly plan, hosting, security updates, and small edits are handled for you after launch, so the site stays fast and current without you chasing anyone.
Do you handle SEO as well as design?
Yes, and they work best together. Design gets visitors to convert; SEO gets them to arrive. Every site we build is structured to rank from day one, and the Local SEO and Growth SEO plans are there for businesses that want to grow past that. Local SEO, at $400 a month, is built around the Charleston map pack: a fully optimized Google Business Profile, regular posts, review responses, and on-site work for your core services. Growth SEO, at $800, is for a business that wants to own its category in Charleston, not just appear in it.
Who actually builds my website?
The person you talk to. No account managers, no offshore handoffs. Specialized work sometimes goes to trusted US-based specialists, but you have one point of contact from kickoff through launch and after. Holy City Web Design is run by Chris, who has spent 15+ years building websites, more than 200 of them, and has been based in Charleston since 2023.
Do you only work with downtown Charleston businesses?
No. Home base is Charleston, and we work across the Lowcountry: Mount Pleasant, Summerville, North Charleston, the islands, and everywhere between. If you're in the greater Charleston area, you're local to us. Each area has its own web design page with local detail, and the work is the same wherever you are: a site built to rank in your part of the Charleston metro.
Can we meet in person?
Yes. We're local, and a coffee downtown beats a discovery-call funnel every time. Most projects start with a short conversation and an intake questionnaire, whether that happens over coffee or on a call.
