For small & local businesses

It's 2026.
A bad website costs you customers.
Having none costs you more.

You run a local business and you’ve got no website, or one you’d rather not hand out. Either way, customers are finding your competitors instead. I build you a site that gets you found on Google, looks professional, and brings in calls. Flat fee. No jargon. Edits done by tomorrow.

Proven on an asset-protection law firm and a licensed trust company. Priced for a small business.

Before the first call

Your customers searched for you before they ever picked up the phone. If they found nothing, or a mess, they moved on to whoever showed up.

54%

of people go to the business's website after reading good reviews, up from 32% in 2019. The reviews get you considered. The site is where they decide.

73%

of local business searches happen on a phone. A site that's awkward on mobile is awkward for most of the people who ever find you.

Two starting points

Almost everyone comes to me from one of two places.

“I don't have a website yet.”

  • Customers search for you, find nothing, and call someone else
  • You look smaller and less established than the competitor who has one
  • You're missing from Google and Google Maps entirely
  • Every referral has nowhere to go to check you out

“Mine's old and I'm embarrassed by it.”

  • Slow and clunky on a phone, where most customers look first
  • Looks dated next to newer competitors
  • Buried in search results, so nobody's finding it
  • You can't get a simple change made without a hassle

Both roads lead to the same fix: a clean, fast site that makes you the obvious choice, built at a flat price with the edits handled after launch.

Get found on Google Maps

When someone searches “near me,” the map is the first thing they see.

Google puts three local businesses at the top of a “near me” search, in what’s called the map pack. Those three get the calls. Everyone else gets scrolled past. Here’s the work that puts you in the running:

  • →Your Google Business Profile claimed, filled out, and filed under the right categories
  • →Your site wired with the local signals Google checks
  • →A simple system for getting (and showing off) reviews
Why Hunter Scales

An agency is built for a client with a marketing department. This is built for the owner who is one.

Flat-fee, transparent pricing

You get the price up front, in writing, before a dime changes hands. No surprise invoices, and no hourly meter running in the background.

Founder-led, always

You work with the person who actually builds your site. Nobody relays your messages to someone else, and there's never a question about who is doing the work.

Replies that actually come back

Need an edit? It's done the next business day, usually sooner. Your emails get answered, not archived.

Professional work, small-business price

The standard I hold a law firm's website to is the standard your shop gets. Good work shouldn't be out of reach just because you're small.

When you're ready to grow

Know exactly where your customers come from.

Most local businesses are guessing which ad, post, or Google search actually brought the call. When you’re ready, I wire simple tracking into your site and explain it in plain English, so you can see what’s working and put your money where it pays off.

See where your calls come from

Know whether a customer found you on Google, an ad, or a post, so you stop guessing and start spending where it works.

Reporting in plain English

Real numbers you can actually read: what happened, and what to do next. No jargon, and no dashboard you need training for.

You own it

Your site, your data, and your customer list are all yours. Nothing is locked inside someone else's platform.

Connor Hunter, founder of Hunter Scales
Meet the founder

Hi, I'm Connor Hunter.

I’ve built websites for law firms, overseas trustee companies, combat sport gyms, authors, and local businesses. When you hire Hunter Scales, you’re not getting a call center. You’re getting me.

I started this because small businesses kept paying for websites built to a standard nobody would accept for a bigger client, then waiting weeks on a simple change. So I do it differently. Flat fees agreed up front, and work I’m proud to put my name on.

What clients say

Don't take my word for it.

★★★★★
“Connor builds excellent custom websites. He takes time to understand your goals and gets you excellent and quick results with minimal guidance. Having worked with many web developers over the years, Connor definitely stands out as the best!”

Common questions

Questions before you reach out

I don't have a website yet. Where do I start?
Right here. Tell me about your business and I handle the rest: the design, the writing, the photos, and getting you found on Google. You don't need any tech skills or an existing site. Most clients start from scratch, and you'll have a professional site up in a couple of weeks.
My current website is old and embarrassing. Can you fix it?
Yes. Redesigns are one of the most common projects. I keep what's working, fix what isn't, and rebuild on a fast, modern, mobile-first foundation that actually shows up in search. Not sure how bad it is? Run a free website audit and I'll show you exactly what's costing you.
How much does a small business website cost?
Every project is quoted at a single flat fee, agreed in writing before any work starts. Websites start at $1,500, or $2,500 with the full local SEO and AI-readiness package. You always know the full cost up front, with no hourly billing and no surprise invoices.
What kinds of businesses do you build for?
Local shops and service businesses of every kind: restaurants and cafés, salons and barbershops, plumbers, contractors, retail stores, gyms. Law firms and other professional services too. If customers check you out online before they buy, I can help.
How fast are edits after launch?
Edits are completed by the next business day, usually sooner, and handled directly by me rather than a ticket queue. You run your shop; I keep your website current.
