Where Design Feels Like Home
There’s something quietly confident about Montana.
Maybe it’s the open sky that never seems to end — or maybe it’s how folks here still look you right in the eye when they shake your hand.
Whatever it is, that same sense of honesty and pride is what we try to bring into every website we build.
At Curtis Design, we’ve spent more than thirty years helping Montana businesses — from small family shops to growing regional brands — show the world what makes them unique.
We don’t believe in cookie-cutter templates or one-size-fits-all fixes. We build things that fit, that last, and that feel like you.
Why “Real” Still Matters Online
You can always tell when a website’s been made from a template.
The fonts are flat, the copy sounds like it was written by a robot, and there’s just… no life to it.
It’s the digital version of shaking hands with someone who won’t meet your eyes.
Montana companies deserve better.
A Bozeman outfitter should look rugged and adventurous.
A Helena law firm should feel calm, steady, and trustworthy.
Every business has its own rhythm — our job is to capture that and bring it online.
Before we touch a single line of code, we take time to get to know you — who you are, what you stand for, and what your customers really care about.
The design grows from that understanding, not the other way around.
One Story That Stuck With Us
Last fall, a small woodworking shop in Missoula reached out.
They didn’t want anything flashy — no animations, no gimmicks.
They just wanted something honest. A site that felt like their workbench: clean, simple, and built with care.
So we spent a day in their workshop, taking photos, listening to stories, and writing their copy in their own words.
When the site launched, it looked and felt exactly like them.
Three months later, they called and said almost every new customer mentioned finding them online.
That’s what we love — not just clicks, but real conversations.
Built for Bozeman, Billings, Missoula, and Beyond
Montana is a big place, but its business community feels close-knit in the best way.
Everyone seems to know someone who knows you.
So when we design your website, we keep that in mind — clarity over clutter, connection over cleverness.
We’ve worked with:
- Bozeman creatives who needed bold, standout portfolios
- Billings service companies looking for steady, local leads
- Missoula nonprofits hoping to grow awareness
- And even a Helena ranch supply store that wanted to bring their catalog online without losing that small-town charm
Each project is different, but the goal’s always the same:
help local businesses grow while staying true to their roots.
SEO That Works the Montana Way
We handle SEO the same way Montanans handle a handshake — honest, straightforward, and built on trust.
That means clean site structure, genuine content, and regular updates that help you show up where it counts: Google searches, maps, and local listings.
No spammy tricks.
No “AI filler.”
Just thoughtful storytelling and optimization that both search engines and real people appreciate.
What We Offer
- Custom WordPress or Shopify websites
- SEO and Local Search strategy
- Website redesign and performance audits
- Branding and logo design
- Copywriting and content writing
- Hosting, maintenance, and ongoing support
We don’t just launch your site and walk away.
We stick around — keeping it secure, fast, and running smoothly.
Why Curtis Design
We’ve been designing since before “web design” was even a real job title.
We’ve seen trends come and go — parallax, minimalism, gradients, all of it — but one thing never changes: people still trust authenticity.
When you call us, you talk to real designers.
When something breaks, we fix it.
And when you grow, we grow right alongside you.
One of our Bozeman clients once said,
“You guys actually pick up the phone. That’s rare these days.”
We took that as the highest compliment.
A Website That Feels Like Montana
If Montana had its own design language, it’d be simple, sturdy, and genuine.
That’s exactly what we aim for — websites that look great today and still make sense five years from now.
So whether you’re in Billings, Bozeman, Helena, or anywhere under that big Montana sky,
we’ll help you build something that feels authentic — like the place you call home.
