Websites That Work for Real Wyoming Businesses
I was in Cody last spring, talking with a leather craftsman who ran a small storefront right off Sheridan Avenue.
He told me, plain as day:
“I don’t need fancy. I just want folks to find me when they’re drivin’ through town.”
And that stuck with me.
Because in Wyoming, people aren’t asking for flash and fluff — they want websites that work.
At Curtis Design, we get it.
We’ve built sites for:
- Guest ranches near Jackson
- Fishing guides in Casper
- Family diners in Gillette
- And even a wildflower farm outside Laramie
Every single one of them had the same goal:
“Make it easy for people to find me, trust me, and get in touch.”
No gimmicks. No overcomplication.
Just honest, solid web design that:
- Loads fast (even on rural networks)
- Looks sharp on phones (where 80% of traffic comes from)
- Speaks in your voice — not corporate nonsense
- And helps your business grow steadily over time
Wyoming isn’t like the coasts. And we don’t build websites like the big-city agencies do.
We build them for ranchers, artists, outfitters, mechanics — and people who hustle with their hands.
This isn’t about keeping up with trends.
It’s about showing the world what makes your business worth discovering.
Why “DIY” and Cheap Templates Don’t Cut It in the West
Out here in Wyoming, things are different.
The weather changes fast. The distances are wide. And business? It’s still built on handshakes, good work, and word of mouth.
But these days, word of mouth happens online too.
And here’s the hard truth:
Those drag-and-drop DIY websites or cheap $100 freelancers?
They don’t hold up under Wyoming’s real-world needs.
We had a horse trainer near Cheyenne call us last year — frustrated out of her mind.
She built her site on one of those “just-pick-a-template” platforms.
What went wrong?
- The photos took forever to load on slower connections
- Her site didn’t look right on iPhones
- And when folks Googled “horse trainer near Cheyenne”?
She was nowhere to be found.
Same story with a fishing guide in Thermopolis — hired someone online who “disappeared” halfway through the job. Left him with a broken homepage and no booking form.
Look — we’ve cleaned up plenty of messes like these.
But we always say:
“We’d rather help you get it right the first time.”
Here’s why the cheap stuff ends up costing more:
- You spend your time trying to make it look right
- You lose business because your site doesn’t show up or doesn’t work
- You eventually pay again — for someone like us to fix it
And let’s not forget: first impressions matter.
If your website looks like it hasn’t been updated since the rodeo came to town in 2013… well, people notice.
Wyoming businesses deserve better.
You work hard. Your website should too.
Real Clients, Real Wins: Curtis Design in Wyoming
We’ve been lucky to work with some amazing folks across Wyoming — people who care deeply about their craft, their community, and doing things right.
Take Maggie, who runs a bed-and-breakfast near Jackson Hole.
She reached out to us after trying to update her old site and accidentally deleted her contact page (and most of her photos).
We hopped on a call, built her a clean, mobile-friendly website with an easy booking form, and added an image gallery that actually loaded in under 3 seconds — even on a slow mountain connection.
She called a few weeks later and said:
“I’ve already booked 5 more weekends since the site went live. This is the most online bookings I’ve had since 2019.”
Or there’s Ray, a retired veteran who opened a small metal art shop in Laramie.
He wasn’t big on technology, but he wanted something simple — a page with photos of his work, a phone number, and a place for folks to leave reviews.
We kept it straightforward. No fluff. Just a clean, rustic design that fit Ray’s personality — and helped him sell out of handmade pieces twice in one month.
We’ve helped:
- Fishing guides in Casper
- Bakery owners in Sheridan
- Auto repair shops in Rock Springs
- And even a goat milk soap business in Riverton
Every one of them had different needs.
Some needed full ecommerce. Others just wanted to look legit online.
That’s the point — we don’t offer one-size-fits-all.
We listen. We build what makes sense. And we make sure it works.
No jargon. No agency ego.
Just honest websites that help you connect with real people — because that’s how business still works around here.
Website Pricing in Wyoming: Straight Talk, No Guesswork
Let’s cut to the chase —
You’re here because you need a website, and you want to know how much it’s going to cost.
Fair enough. And you’re not alone.
We get this question almost every day — from Gillette mechanics, Jackson artists, and Lander tour guides.
So here’s what we tell them:
“We don’t do ‘package pricing’ — we do people pricing.”
Because what you need isn’t what your neighbor needs.
Still, we can give you some ballpark figures based on real projects we’ve done in Wyoming:
💡 Real Wyoming Website Examples:
- Simple 3-page site for a tax consultant in Casper:
About, services, contact form — $1,900 - WordPress portfolio for a wildlife photographer in Cody:
Blog, gallery, SEO — $3,700 - Ecommerce site for handmade leather goods in Cheyenne:
Online store, shipping setup, product uploads — $6,000
But let’s be clear:
These aren’t “packages” — they’re just examples.
Your business is unique.
You might need just a single-page site. Or a full-blown online booking system. Or maybe you’re not sure yet — and that’s okay.
That’s why we offer a 15-minute free consultation — no pressure, no pitch.
We’ll ask about:
- Your goals
- Who your customers are
- What you need your site to actually do
- And how involved (or hands-off) you want to be
Then we give you a quote — clear, flat, and tailored to you.
And hey, truth is…
If we built a booking site for a Jackson lodge at $6,000 — that doesn’t mean yours will cost the same.
It might be $2,000.
It might be $4,500.
We won’t know until we talk to you.
And we won’t try to upsell you into stuff you don’t need.
Just honest pricing for what actually helps.
