Reading businesses deserve personal service. Let's discuss your website project.
We're based in West Reading—3 minutes from downtown. We build websites for Reading businesses that actually help bring in customers.

Transparent pricing. No disappearing after two years.
Not sure what you need? Call 717-306-9803. 15-minute conversation, no pitch—just honest advice about what makes sense for your business.
Our office is in West Reading on Penn Avenue—3 minutes across the Penn Street Bridge to downtown. We've worked with manufacturers in the 5th Street area, restaurants near Santander Arena, and contractors all over Berks County. When you call, you're talking to someone who knows where the Pagoda is without Googling it.
We know the Free 15 parking on Penn Street means mobile customers need instant information. We know the $540 million CRIZ investment is bringing thousands of new residents downtown—and your website needs to be ready before your competitors' are. We understand Reading's local market and build sites that connect with your customers.

Reading's getting $540 million in CRIZ funding over 30 years—6,000 new housing units, 3,000 jobs coming downtown. The Free 15 on Penn parking program (launched 2023) already doubled foot traffic. Businesses moving into renovated buildings now need websites before the competition shows up.
From Santander Arena drawing 7,000+ event attendees to GoggleWorks bringing the arts crowd, downtown Reading is on the move. Your website needs to work on mobile because those Free 15 shoppers aren't reading long paragraphs—they're checking hours, menus, and availability in 30 seconds while parked on Penn Street.
Downtown businesses: We understand parking access, foot traffic from Santander Arena events, and the unique needs of historic district properties.
From the Reading Pagoda to Santander Arena, we know the landmarks that make your business location instantly recognizable
7-story Japanese-inspired structure built 1908 atop Mount Penn. 950 feet above Penn & 5th. The city's most iconic symbol.
Santander Arena Image
7,160-seat venue hosting concerts and sporting events. Major foot traffic driver for downtown businesses.
GoggleWorks Image

We've worked with enough Reading businesses to know what actually matters
Fast-loading sites rank higher in Google and convert better. We optimize every element—images, code, hosting—so your site loads in under 2 seconds.
Median age in Reading is 30.6 years old. Everyone's on their phone. If your site doesn't work on mobile, you're losing customers.
We checked 10 Reading web design competitors—only 1 listed their prices. We don't play that game. $1,500-$3,500 for most small businesses. Payment plans available.
Worried the web designer vanishes after two years? We're not going anywhere. West Reading office. Local phone number. Month-to-month support.

Most Reading small businesses spend $1,500-$3,500 for a professional site. That's 25-35% less than Philadelphia pricing because we know Reading's economy. 5-10 pages, mobile-responsive, contact forms, basic SEO. Payment plans available if you need to spread it out—no interest, just monthly chunks.
Ongoing maintenance is $55/month—covers hosting, updates, upkeep, and technical support. First 6 months ($330) are included with your build fee, then month-to-month after that. Pay for a full year upfront and get one month free ($550 vs $600).
3-4 weeks for most Reading businesses. Some competitors quote 6-8 weeks—we're faster. Rush projects (grand openings, special events) can be done in 2 weeks if you're ready to move. Timeline depends on how quickly you respond and provide feedback—the faster you send us your photos, content, and approvals, the faster we launch.
You could. 51% of people who start DIY websites abandon them before finishing. 91% say some part was "overly difficult." Most businesses outgrow Wix in 12-24 months, then rebuilding costs 25-40% MORE than just hiring us upfront.
Here's the math: Most people spend 40+ hours learning Wix and building their site. If your time running your business is worth even $50/hour, that's $2,000 of lost revenue—more than we charge for a professional site. Plus, Wix is terrible for local SEO—Reading businesses need to rank in "near me" searches, and DIY platforms just don't cut it.
63% of customers use company websites to find businesses. Only 37% use social media. Facebook is great for engagement, but you don't own it—algorithm changes can kill your reach overnight. Plus, websites rank in Google; Facebook posts don't.
Here's the thing: even if someone finds you through referral, they're Googling you before they call. No website = looks like you're out of business. Reading businesses with websites sell for 2-3x more than those without.
Every site we build includes basic on-page SEO—proper titles, meta descriptions, fast loading speeds, mobile optimization, and structured data. This gets you ranking in local searches. Need more? We offer advanced SEO services to help you dominate "near me" searches in Reading and surrounding areas.
