For small & local businesses

It's 2026.
No website — or a bad one —
is costing you customers.

If you run a local business with no website — or one you’re embarrassed to hand out — customers are finding your competitors instead. I build you a site that gets you found on Google, looking professional, and bringing in calls. Flat fee. No jargon. Edits done by tomorrow.

Professional work — proven with an asset-protection law firm and a licensed trust company — priced for small businesses.

The hard truth

Your customers Googled you — or searched for what you sell nearby — before they ever called. If they found nothing, or a mess, they moved on to whoever showed up.

97%

of people go online to find a local business. No website — or a bad one — and most of them never see you.

75%

judge your credibility on your website alone. A missing or dated site quietly costs you trust before you say a word.

24/7

a good website works while you sleep — getting found, answering questions, and booking customers when you're closed.

Sound familiar?

No website — or one you'd rather not send?

“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 — nobody's finding it
  • You can't get a simple change made without a hassle

Either way, the fix is the same: a clean, fast site that makes you the obvious choice — built for you at a flat price, with edits handled. You run your shop; I handle the website.

Get found on Google Maps

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

Google shows three local businesses at the top — the map pack — before anything else. Those three get the calls. Everyone else gets scrolled past. I do the work that gets you competing for those spots:

  • Google Business Profile set up and fully optimized
  • Your site wired with the local signals Google checks
  • A simple system for getting (and showing off) reviews
Why Hunter Scales

The agency world runs on jargon, retainers, and radio silence. We run on the opposite.

Flat-fee, transparent pricing

You get the price up front, in writing, before a dime changes hands. No surprise invoices, no vague hourly meters, no “scope creep” tax.

Founder-led, always

You work with the person who actually builds your site. No account manager relay race, no offshore handoffs, no guessing who's on your project.

Replies that actually come back

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

Professional work, small-business price

The same standard of work I deliver for a law firm and a licensed trust company — sized and priced for a small business. Professional quality 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 — 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

Yours to keep

Your site, your data, and your customer list are all yours — never 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 good businesses were getting gouged for bad websites and left waiting weeks for a simple change. So I do it differently: fair flat fees, a real relationship, 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, no subscriptions, 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 — plus law firms and other professional services. 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, the founder, not a ticket queue. You run your shop; I keep your website current.
