Utah Businesses Deserve Websites That Work — and Feel Local
I was grabbing a late-morning coffee in Provo last month when the woman behind the counter — who also happened to be the owner — asked what I did for a living.
When I told her I build websites, she said, “Oh! We’ve been thinking about one… but it just feels so complicated, ya know?”
She wasn’t wrong.
For a lot of business owners in Utah, whether it’s a ski shop in Park City, a custom sign maker in Ogden, or a family-run bakery in St. George, the idea of getting a website often feels overwhelming. And honestly? It shouldn’t.
Here’s what I told her — and what I’ll tell you too:
Your website should feel like it belongs to you.
It should sound like your voice, show off your work, and make it easy for people to reach out.
Not like some corporate robot wrote it.
Not like it was shipped in from an agency in LA that’s never stepped foot in Utah.
That’s what we do at Curtis Design. We build clean, simple, effective websites that feel like they were made by someone who actually listened to your story — because we did.
And yeah, we’ve been doing this for over 30 years.
We’ve helped everyone from tech startups near Lehi’s Silicon Slopes to mechanics in Logan. Doesn’t matter where you’re at — your website matters just as much.
Why Freelancers & DIY Sites Often Fall Short in Utah
We’ve worked with a lot of local businesses here in Utah — and if there’s one thing we keep hearing, it’s this:
“We tried working with a freelancer… but it didn’t go the way we hoped.”
One guy in Logan who owns a small bike repair shop told us his freelancer took the deposit, sent two drafts, and then vanished. Another business, a pottery studio in Moab, tried building their own site using a drag-and-drop builder. Three months later? Still no site — just frustration and half-finished pages.
The truth is, freelancers mean well. But life happens. They get busy, move on, or sometimes simply ghost.
And DIY builders? They look easy on YouTube, but once you’re knee-deep in image sizing, contact forms, and “SEO settings” — it stops feeling easy real quick.
Utah businesses don’t have time to waste.
You’ve got customers to serve, products to ship, things to do. Spending your nights wrestling with a clunky web builder or chasing down someone on Fiverr isn’t how you should be spending your energy.
And the worst part? Even when those sites are done, they’re usually missing the most important parts:
- No mobile optimization (yep, still a problem in 2025)
- No Google ranking — because no one added SEO
- Slow load times that drive people away
- Confusing navigation or outdated design
At Curtis Design, we don’t disappear.
We don’t build half-baked sites that leave you wondering what went wrong.
We create websites that just… work.
So if your last site came from a freelancer who went silent or a template that never quite looked right — we get it. You’re not alone.
Let’s build something better, together.
Smart, Local-Focused Sites — Built for Utah
We’re not here to impress design award judges.
We’re here to help real businesses in Utah grow — plain and simple.
Whether you run a coffee shop in Salt Lake City, a dentist’s office in Cedar City, or a new landscaping business in West Jordan, your website should check a few key boxes:
- It should load fast, even on sketchy cell service
- It should look great on a phone — not just a fancy MacBook
- It should be easy to use, so people can find your hours, services, or book an appointment without digging
- And it should show up on Google when someone types “best mechanic near me” or “wedding photographer Ogden”
That’s the kind of site we build at Curtis Design.
We use WordPress, but don’t worry — we don’t dump you into a dashboard full of buttons you don’t understand.
We set everything up clean, show you what matters, and if you ever need help, we’re a phone call away — not a support ticket lost in the void.
We’ve worked with folks all across Utah — from outdoor gear brands in Logan to custom cabinet makers in Orem.
And no matter the size of the job, the goal stays the same:
Make a site that reflects your business — not some generic template.
We believe local businesses deserve local care.
And even if we’re a few towns apart, you’ll always get the same thoughtful, honest service we’ve given for over three decades.
How Much Does a Website Cost in Utah?
We hear this question every single week — sometimes from a startup in Salt Lake City, sometimes from a local contractor in St. George:
“So… what’s this gonna cost me?”
And you know what? It’s a fair question.
But the honest answer? It depends.
We’ve built simple, clean 5-page websites for around $2,000, and we’ve done fully custom, SEO-loaded eCommerce builds that hit $7,000 or more. Why the difference?
Because no two businesses are the same — and no two websites should be either.
Here are a few real examples from right here in Utah:
- A solo massage therapist in Provo needed a clean site with booking — came in just under $2,200
- A bike shop in Park City wanted product listings and Google Maps — around $3,800
- A real estate team in Salt Lake needed IDX integration and blog content — closer to $6,000
But don’t let those numbers lock you in.
We’re not pulling prices out of thin air, and we’re not selling cookie-cutter “packages.”
Instead, we do what most places skip:
🗣️ We listen first.
We get on a quick call (it’s free), ask the right questions, and learn what you actually need.
Then, we put together a price that fits you.
Not your neighbor, not a client from last year — you.
That means your site might cost $2,000 if you just need a few simple pages.
Or it might land around $4,500 if you’ve got custom forms, content, or online sales.
The important thing?
You’ll know exactly what you’re getting, and why it costs what it does.
No smoke. No mirrors. Just clear, fair pricing — built around your business.
