Websites
Custom websites for businesses on St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix. Built to load on a weak signal, get found by people searching here, and make you look like the business you actually are. Two ways to get there.
Designed and built on St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands
Two tiers
The difference is scope and photography, not build quality. Both are custom, both are yours to keep.
Fully branded
For places where the website is the first impression, and the photography is doing as much selling as the copy.
Quick turnaround
For a business that needs to be findable and credible online without a long project attached to it.
Both are quoted in writing before anything starts. Hosting, domain registration, SSL, and business email are available as add-ons — listed further down. Full ranges for larger systems are on the FAQ.
Getting found
Plenty of small business sites here are invisible to Google, because publishing a site and submitting one are different jobs and nobody did the second.
Every site launches indexed and measurable. Sitemap and robots file submitted, Search Console connected so you can see which searches you actually appear for, structured data so your hours and location show up properly, and a load time measured on a phone connection rather than office fibre.
Local search
Most of the searches that matter to a Virgin Islands business are local ones, and ranking for those has less to do with your website than most people assume.
For "near me" and map searches, your Business Profile usually outranks your website entirely. We claim it, fill it out properly, and connect it to the site — hours, category, service area, photos, and the booking or ordering link.
Your name, address, and phone number have to match across the site, your profile, and any directory you appear in. Mismatches are the most common reason a legitimate local business ranks below a newer one.
Markup that tells search engines where you actually are, which islands you serve, when you are open, and what you sell. It is what puts hours and directions directly in a search result rather than making someone click.
Where we work
We are based on St. Thomas and work across the territory.
St. Thomas — cruise traffic, charter and taxi operators, retail in Charlotte Amalie and Red Hook, restaurants working two very different seasons.
St. John — villas, day charters, and small operators where almost every booking starts with a search from off-island, weeks before anyone arrives.
St. Croix — a bigger local economy and a smaller share of visitor traffic, so the balance between local search and tourism search is different.
We also work across the wider Caribbean. If you are in the British Virgin Islands, there is a page for that — payment processing and domains work differently there and it is worth reading first.
Either tier
The baseline does not change with the budget. A cheaper site is a smaller site, not a worse-built one.
Page titles, descriptions, headings, and structured data written for what people actually search, not stuffed with keywords. Sitemap and robots file submitted to Google, and Search Console configured so you can see what is working.
Compressed images, minimal scripts, and fonts served from your own server. A site that loads on a phone with two bars at a dock will load anywhere.
Designed for phones first, because that is where most of your traffic is. Real touch targets, no pinch-to-zoom, no horizontal scrolling.
Proper heading structure, labelled forms, keyboard navigation, and colour contrast that meets WCAG 2.2 AA. Required for public-sector work and better for everyone else.
You own the code, the domain, the hosting account, and the content. No licence, no platform you have to keep paying to stay online.
Hand-built HTML and PHP with shared includes, commented and documented at handover. There is no CMS to keep patched and no theme to break on the next plugin release. Text and image changes come back to us and are usually turned around the same day. If editing pages yourself matters, say so at the start and we will build it somewhere that allows it.
How it runs
No long silence between brief and reveal. Pages go up on a staging link as they are built, so nothing is a surprise at the end.
The content stage is what usually decides the timeline. If copy and photography are ready, one to two weeks is realistic. If they are not, that is the part to start on.
A website build, start to finish
Add-ons
Quoted with the project rather than bundled invisibly, so you can see what each one costs and decline anything you already have.
Start here
That is genuinely the whole brief to start with. What you sell, who buys it, and what you want someone to do when they land on the page.
Useful to have, none of it required
