Website studio · Charleston, SC

A website worthy of the work you already do.

For Charleston businesses still running on a Google listing, or on a site nobody has touched in years. Designed and built by one person, and live in seven days.

Two kinds of businesses call me

No website yet.

Right now, your business is a Google listing and a phone number. People like your reviews, then search for a website and find nothing. Some of them call anyway. Plenty of them call the next shop down the road.

  • Your services, prices and hours in one place
  • A call or text button that works from a phone
  • Your own domain, registered in your name

A website that's showing its age.

Maybe your nephew built it in 2015. Maybe it was a template you paid for once and forgot about. It's slow on a phone, the photos are old, and the prices are wrong. Customers notice before they ever call.

  • Rebuilt from scratch around how you work now
  • Fast, sharp and easy to use on a phone
  • Keeps your domain, so nothing breaks

The work

Three businesses.
Three different sites.

These are concept sites for made-up Charleston businesses, built to show range. Every one of them works, so open them and click around.

The person behind it

One studio.
One person.

I'm Shelton. I live in Charleston, and I design and build every KITCH site myself, from the first call to the day it goes live. Nobody hands your project to someone overseas, and there's no account manager in the middle.

You get my direct line. When a price changes or you want new photos up, you text me at 843-410-9077 and it's done, usually the same day.

How it goes

Seven days, call to live.

KITCH CHARLESTON · S.C. SEVEN DAY DAY

Charleston time, right now.

  1. Day 1

    A 15-minute call

    You tell me what you do, who calls you and what they usually ask. I take it from there.

  2. Day 3

    You see your homepage

    A real, working homepage on your phone. Tell me what feels off and I change it.

  3. Day 5

    The full site

    Every page, your photos, your prices and your forms. One round of changes, together.

  4. Day 7

    You're live

    On your own domain, connected to your Google listing and ready for customers.

What I need from you: your logo if you have one, ten or so photos from your phone, and your list of services and prices.

Pricing

Straightforward, and paid in two halves.

The Essential

$750

One page that does the job. Best for a shop that just needs to be found and called.

  • Custom one-page site
  • Call, text and quote buttons
  • Google-ready setup
  • Live in about a week

The Complete

$1,500

Five to seven pages with room for every service. Best for a business with a lot to show.

  • A page for each service
  • Quote, booking or sign-up forms
  • Photo galleries of your work
  • Live in about two weeks

Care

$45/mo

Hosting, backups and changes by text. First month free with any site.

  • Up to an hour of edits a month
  • Security and backups handled
  • $450 a year if you pay upfront
  • Cancel anytime, keep your site

Half to start, half at launch. The domain is registered in your name, and the site is yours.

Questions

Before you ask.

Do I own the website?

Yes. The domain is in your name and so is the site. If you ever stop the Care plan, I hand everything over.

I don't have good photos. Is that a problem?

No. Phone photos work fine and I'll tell you exactly what to shoot. Until then I can use clean, licensed images that fit your business.

Why is this cheaper than an agency?

There's no office, no sales team and no project manager. You're paying for the design and the build, done by the person you talk to.

What if I already have a site?

I rebuild it on the same domain, so your Google listing, email and links keep working. Most owners just notice that the phone rings more.
