Web design & development

Websites built to work, not just look good.

ThoseGeeks has designed and built fast, custom websites for small businesses, nonprofits, and organizations across Southwest Virginia and Northeast Tennessee since 2003. Every site starts from a blank page, not a template, and is built to load fast and turn visitors into customers.

Every project includes
  • Custom visual design
  • Mobile-first development
  • Performance optimization
  • On-page SEO foundation
  • Accessibility standards
  • Content management
What you get

Everything a real website needs. Nothing you don't.

Every project includes these deliverables as the baseline — not as add-ons. We don't believe in nickel-and-diming for things that should just be part of the job.

  • Custom visual design

    Unique layouts built around your brand — no templates, no cookie-cutter looks that blend into the crowd.

  • Mobile-first development

    Looks and works perfectly on every screen, from a phone thumb to a 27" monitor.

  • Performance optimization

    Fast load times that keep visitors engaged and signal quality to search engines.

  • On-page SEO foundation

    Clean code, semantic markup, and metadata strategy built in from day one — not bolted on after.

  • Accessibility standards

    WCAG-compliant design that works for all users and reduces your legal exposure.

  • Content management

    Edit your own content without touching code. You should never need us for a typo.

  • Analytics integration

    Google Analytics 4 and Search Console configured so you can see what's working from day one.

  • Launch support & training

    A training session, written documentation, and 30 days of post-launch support included.

How we work

A clear process. No surprises.

Clients who've worked with other agencies always say the same thing: "I never knew what was happening." That's not us. Here's exactly how a project flows.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    We learn your goals, audience, and competitive landscape before we design or build anything.

  2. 02

    Strategy

    Sitemap, content architecture, and page priorities — the blueprint before the build.

  3. 03

    Design

    We get the foundation right: your branding, typography, colors, and a design system every page is built from.

  4. 04

    Build

    Fast, clean code, tested across browsers and devices as we go.

  5. 05

    Launch

    Thorough QA, DNS migration, and a coordinated go-live with zero downtime.

Common questions

Things people usually ask before reaching out.

We're straightforward people. If you don't see your question here, just ask — no sales pitch, no pressure.

How much does a custom website cost?

Most small business websites fall in the $3,000–$8,000 range, depending on scope, number of pages, and custom functionality. We provide detailed, itemized proposals so there are never any surprises. And we're happy to talk through your budget early — there's no shame in knowing what you can spend.

How long does it take to build a website?

Typical projects run 6–10 weeks from kickoff to launch. The timeline depends heavily on how quickly content comes in from your side — copy, photos, approvals. That's usually the biggest variable. Rush timelines are sometimes possible; let us know your constraints upfront.

Do I need to provide all the content myself?

We'll give you a detailed content guide and templates to make it manageable. We also offer copywriting assistance for an additional fee. For photos, we can work with what you have, recommend local photographers, or source quality licensed stock images that fit your brand.

What makes you different from Squarespace, Wix, or a page builder?

Template-based builders work for very simple needs, but come with real tradeoffs: bloated code that slows load times, design limits you'll eventually outgrow, and you're at the mercy of their platform decisions and ongoing fees. They also leave every decision to you — what to say, where it goes, how it should work. With us, you get more than 20 years of user experience design and technical experience, so you don't have to figure it out on your own. The result is a custom-built site that's faster, fully yours, and optimized for how your actual customers behave.

Will I be able to update the site myself after launch?

Absolutely — that's non-negotiable for us. Every site we build runs on a CMS that gives you full control over content. You'll get a training session at launch and written documentation. You should never need to call us just to change your hours or add a new team member.

Do you work with businesses outside Southwest Virginia?

Yes. While we're rooted in the Bristol/Abingdon area and love working with local organizations, we have clients across Virginia, Tennessee, and beyond. Everything works remotely — video calls, screen shares, and shared project tools keep things running smoothly regardless of location.

Let's build this.

If you have an idea or a problem that needs solving, we would love to hear about it.
