The practical part

The river is twenty minutes, not a border

Edwardsville sits at the top of the Metro East, and downtown St. Louis is a short run down I-55 or across the Poplar Street Bridge. In practice that means the same thing a St. Louis studio offers: sit down together, look at the site on a real screen, and hand over photos in person rather than through a portal.

The metro is one economy. Plenty of St. Louis businesses already work with people on the Illinois side, and plenty of Metro East businesses sell into the city. If you are closer to Edwardsville, Belleville or Alton, those towns have their own pages. If you want the search side handled as well, that is local SEO.

Questions from St. Louis owners

Straight answers

How much does web design cost in St. Louis?

Website pricing is discussed directly around your business and the scope of the work. Custom design, copy, local SEO and lead tracking are included in the build. You see the finished site live before you pay anything, and you can choose an ongoing plan for hosting and updates.

Do you actually work with St. Louis businesses, or just Illinois ones?

Both. LocalCraft is based in Edwardsville, about twenty minutes from downtown St. Louis, and the client list runs on both sides of the river. St. Louis Dog Training is a St. Louis business on a LocalCraft site. The custom build and in person meetings are available on either side of the river.

Why hire someone in Illinois instead of a St. Louis agency?

You work directly with Jake, the person who designs and builds your site. Edwardsville is about twenty minutes from downtown St. Louis, so we can meet in person to talk through your business. You can review the finished site live and request changes before deciding whether to buy it.

How long does a St. Louis website take to build?

The first version is typically ready to review within 48 hours of your intake. You look at it live, ask for changes, and nothing goes public until you approve it. Most businesses launch within one to two weeks once revisions, photos and final copy are settled.

What happens to my current website and domain?

You keep the domain and it moves with you. Domain transfer, email migration, DNS, hosting cutover and redirects from the old pages are all part of the build, with no downtime. Your existing search rankings carry across rather than resetting, and no email address stops working.

Will a new site help me rank in St. Louis on Google?

It is the foundation, not the whole job. The site gives Google real pages to rank and structured data it can read. For map results specifically, your Google Business Profile category, your proximity to the searcher and your review count matter as much as anything on the site.

Do I need to write the copy or supply photos?

No. Copy is written for you from a short intake conversation about your business, your customers and how you actually talk. Photos can be yours, professionally licensed, or a mix. Most owners send a handful of real job photos and the rest is handled.

What happens after my St. Louis site launches?

Once your build is paid in full, you own the site. An outright purchase includes one round of post launch revisions. Care, Craft and Grow include two, four and eight total requested-work hours per calendar month, respectively. Unused time does not roll over. Scheduled plan services sit outside those hours, and you can cancel any month.
