Serving St. Johns County from Orange Park. One Developer, Not an Agency.
St. Augustine Web Design for Small Businesses
A website built for a city that has welcomed visitors since 1565. In St. Augustine, your site has to work for two crowds: neighbors who already know you, and visitors deciding where to go next from a phone on St. George Street. I hand-code sites that do both.
OLD CITY. NEW CUSTOMERS.
01
A site that looks like every other template, in a city famous for not looking like anywhere else.
02
The site that never shows up when a visitor on Anastasia Island searches for exactly what you do.
03
The site that breaks on a phone in the middle of a crowded downtown sidewalk.
None of these happen because the business owner didn't care. In a city that runs on visitors, they happen because the site was built for locals who already knew the way.

Custom-built websites for St. Augustine businesses, plus a minimal monthly maintenance fee to keep it running.
Included with every build: the $250 Brand Strategy Report, free. The wording has to be decided before a design file opens either way, so it is part of the job, not an upsell. See what the strategy covers.
What I Do
Web Design Services for St. Augustine Businesses
01
Custom Small Business Websites
In a city with this much history, people expect a business to have a story. I build a home base that tells yours clearly and keeps your branding consistent, from your services to your contact page.
02
eCommerce Websites
Plenty of St. Augustine shops sell to people who visited once and want to buy again from home. An online store that actually sells lets you keep those customers long after their trip ends.
03
Mobile-First Design
Visitors search from their phones while they walk the historic district, wait for a table, or plan tomorrow. I design and test layouts, buttons, and headlines for that small screen first, then scale up, not the other way around.
04
Built to Actually Be Found
A great site that doesn't show up for "best [what you do] in St. Augustine" isn't doing its job yet. Discoverability gets built in from day one, including separate pages if you also serve St. Augustine Beach or World Golf Village.
05
Hand-Coded, Not Templated
There's no page builder template underneath, the kind that makes a downtown gallery look like a chain store. Starting from a blank file instead of something rented off a shelf is why it loads faster and looks like your actual business.
06
Launch & Ongoing Support
You get an actual partner after launch, from someone under an hour away in Orange Park rather than an agency in another state. When hours change for the season or you add new photos, you can reach the person who built the site.
07
Brand Messaging That Targets Your Customer
Design decides whether someone stays on the page. The message decides whether they call. So before I open a design file, we work out who you are actually for and what you can claim that the business down the same street could not. The layout follows from there. It is the first stage of the build, and when I build your site it is free. Sold on its own it is a $250 brand strategy.

Who I Help
Industries I Design St. Augustine Websites For
St. Augustine is the St. Johns County seat, so people looking for a lawyer often start here, comparing firms online before they ever call. I build clean, credible sites with clear intake paths so visitors become consultations, not bounces.
St. Johns County is one of the fastest-growing counties in Florida, and new homeowners want to see your work before they trust you with a build or remodel. I build project galleries and simple quote-request flows that turn browsing into booked estimates.
Patients in St. Augustine range from longtime residents to visitors who need care during a trip. I build clean, accessible sites with easy appointment requests so both can find and reach you without friction.
Cosmetic patients research carefully before they book, often comparing practices across the region. I design polished, professional sites with before-and-after galleries and consultation requests that reflect the quality of your work, not a generic template.
For HVAC, roofing, plumbing, landscaping, and every other home service trade, the call goes to whoever shows up first when something breaks. Sites come fast and mobile-first, with click-to-call buttons and one-tap quote forms. Landscapers get one extra detail: pages written so Google can tell your business apart from the lawn grass that shares the city's name.
gravityGone has built real, working websites for real businesses.
Not mockups, not stock templates. Here are a few that are still live today:
Soteria and Johnstone Supply came in needing sites that could carry real product and service detail without slowing to a crawl or looking like a template. Both got a hand-coded build and a round of testing on real phones before launch.
Both Evolve Global Marketing and Visible Vibrations wanted a site that actually looked like their brand rather than a generic layout with a new logo bolted on, and their sites are still up and running today.

Built for St. Augustine and St. Johns County
I work with businesses across St. Augustine and the surrounding area, from the historic district and Lincolnville to Anastasia Island, Vilano Beach, St. Augustine Beach, and World Golf Village. A downtown gallery and a World Golf Village dentist reach completely different customers, and each site is built for its own.
St. Augustine runs on two calendars: locals who are here all year, and visitors who come and go with the seasons. A good site serves both, with clear hours, directions, and a reason to choose you over the next listing on the map.

Have Questions About St. Augustine Web Design?
How much does a website cost in St. Augustine?
Custom-built websites for St. Augustine businesses start at $350 as a one-time fee, plus a minimal monthly maintenance fee to keep the site running. Every build includes the $250 Brand Strategy Report free, since the wording has to be decided before a design file opens either way.
Does my website need to work for tourists and locals?
If you serve both, yes. Locals want your hours, your services, and a fast way to call. Visitors often want directions, photos, and a reason to pick you before they arrive. A good St. Augustine site answers both without making either one dig.
Do you build websites with templates?
No. There's no page builder template underneath, the kind that makes a downtown gallery look like a chain store. Starting from a blank file is why the site loads faster and looks like your actual business.
You're based in Orange Park. Can you build a site for a St. Augustine business?
Yes. Most of the work happens online, from planning calls to design reviews, so distance doesn't slow a build down. Orange Park is under an hour away, and St. Johns County is part of the area I serve.
