As a Bradenton web design studio, we work directly with small businesses across Sarasota, Anna Maria Island, and the Gulf Coast. You can meet with me in person for your initial consultation or connect with me over Zoom. You will also receive my private cell number so you can call or text me directly throughout the project.

As a Bradenton web design studio, we know your business is not a template, and your website should not be either. Every Starwheel website is custom designed around your brand, audience, goals, and specific requirements. We combine original design with proven structures, clear calls to action, and strategies that support stronger SEO, AI search visibility, and conversions.
We also consider the content writing, photography, and video assets needed to communicate your value.

Starwheel Websites builds custom WordPress websites for established small businesses, growing companies, service-area contractors, medical practices, nonprofits, and complex organizations. Bradenton and Sarasota are our primary markets, including businesses throughout Manatee and Sarasota counties. We also work with clients in St. Petersburg, Tampa, across Florida, and beyond.
For service businesses and contractors, we create lead-generation websites with clear service information, quote-request forms, service-area maps, city-specific content, and strong conversion paths. This includes companies serving Bradenton, Sarasota, Lakewood Ranch, Palmetto, Venice, and surrounding communities that need to reach customers across multiple locations.
Healthcare and wellness projects include websites for medical practices, therapy providers, medspas, and wellness businesses. These websites are organized around patient trust, accessible service information, treatment pages, provider profiles, appointment requests, online scheduling, and integrations that help patients understand their options and confidently take the next step.
We also work with consultants, financial firms, associations, and corporate organizations that require detailed information architecture or specialized functionality. Real estate companies, vacation rentals, restaurants, and hospitality businesses benefit from professional photography, visual storytelling, local search visibility, organized property or menu information, and straightforward booking or inquiry pathways.
For nonprofits and community organizations, we build websites that explain the mission, engage supporters, accept donations, manage memberships, and organize resource libraries. Retailers and product-based businesses receive customized WooCommerce stores with secure checkout, advanced product filtering, intuitive navigation, inventory integrations, and shopping experiences designed around their products and customers.
Our projects extend beyond standard brochure websites. Capabilities include custom WordPress development, e-commerce, online booking, client portals, memberships, document libraries, directories, advanced forms, custom fields, third-party integrations, content writing, professional photography, hosting, and local SEO for businesses targeting Bradenton, Sarasota, and surrounding Florida markets.
Starwheel also works with new ventures when the project is a good fit, but we are not limited to startups needing a logo or basic online presence. Backed by more than 25 years of design and development experience and over 171 completed websites, much of our work supports established organizations that have outgrown their current website.
Our web design company prices every project around the work required. After booking a call with our web design agency, we will learn about your specific goals, budget, and the website your business needs. Several factors affect the cost of building a website:
Most small business websites take one to two months to complete. Rush website design is available when our schedule allows. Timing depends on the number of pages, level of customization, required features, and how quickly you provide content, images, and feedback.
We use an efficient web design process and can often meet tighter deadlines when your materials are ready. If you need an immediate online presence, we can launch a Coming Soon page while the full website is being built. During your web design consultation, we will review your goals and establish a realistic project timeline.
Our typical client is a small or growing business, nonprofit, professional practice, or community organization that needs a custom WordPress website and a dependable digital partner. Many clients are established businesses replacing an outdated website. Others are startups that need their first professional online presence.
Starwheel provides Bradenton and Sarasota web design for service businesses, contractors, medical and wellness practices, professional firms, nonprofits, real estate and vacation rental companies, hospitality businesses, retailers, ecommerce brands, and other organizations throughout Florida. Our WordPress experience allows us to build unique solutions for nearly any industry, including lead generation websites, booking systems, online stores, memberships, document libraries, custom forms, and advanced integrations.
Smaller businesses benefit from having one partner guide the entire project. We can help with strategy, brand messaging, mission statements, content writing, website design, SEO, AI search optimization, photography when needed, and ongoing support. We take each client’s budget and timeline seriously and recommend a practical solution without adding unnecessary features or costs.
Yes. We often work with other marketing agencies and make collaboration simple. If you already have a marketing agency, we will communicate directly, respond quickly, and provide whatever they need. When you require services we do not offer, we can also recommend trusted experts.
Starwheel provides the individual digital marketing items needed to support your online success. We build a fast, flexible website that all marketing agencies can work with. Nearly all of our tools follow industry standards. This makes it easier for outside teams to manage campaigns, add tracking, and improve conversion rate.
We also guide clients through the confusing digital universe and help them choose the right strategy. For example, a plumber may benefit more from Google Ads than Facebook marketing. We recommend the option that best fits the business. If specialized support is needed, we can connect you with the appropriate digital marketing agency to meet your goals.
Yes! We welcome an ongoing work relationship and continue supporting clients long after launch. Many clients choose a set retainer with unlimited changes per month. Others use our admin hourly rate of $65/hr, which is prorated to half hour increments for smaller requests.
Ongoing work can include website maintenance, hosting, custom web development, new features, design updates, service pages, city pages, blog content, SEO improvements, AI search optimization, conversion optimization, Google Business Profile support, and performance tracking. We can enhance your website as your company grows and respond quickly when something needs attention.
We can determine a fixed price or work hourly based on the project scope. After the site is done, we remain available as your long term web partner. You will have ongoing website support from someone who understands how your website was built and what your business is trying to accomplish.
Once the project details are finalized, we begin right away. Our website design process includes four clear stages:
