Fast, no-bloat websites
for Portland small business.
Locally owned. We build what you actually need - not a generic template. You own the code, the domain, the data. Most sites land near zero monthly hosting cost.
What We Build
Starter, refresh, e-commerce, apps, or custom
Pressure-washing competitor needs their own site. Restaurant wants a menu + ordering link. Therapist wants a one-pager. We ship what you need without padding the scope.
You own the code on GitHub - we don't lock you in.
Starter Sites
Three-page mobile-first sites for new small business - Home, Services, Contact. Up in under a week. Hosted on Vercel's free tier so your monthly cost stays near zero.
Site Refresh
Existing site broken on mobile or ranking poorly? We rebuild it on a modern stack, fix the SEO, and migrate your content cleanly. WordPress, Wix, Squarespace - all welcome.
E-commerce
Shopify, PayPal, or a custom Next.js store. Product catalog, checkout, customer accounts, analytics. Production hosting and deployment pipeline included.
Custom Builds
Bespoke Next.js apps - booking flows, multi-role dashboards, integrations. Quoted per job. You get the code on GitHub, you own everything.
Apps & Extensions
Small web apps, browser extensions, creator tools, preview deployments, store handoff, and analytics wiring for projects that need to ship cleanly.

Why Web Design PDX
No bloat. You own everything.
Most small-biz sites are slow, locked into a builder you rent, and ranked nowhere. We ship a modern Next.js site you can host on Vercel's free tier, with code in your GitHub. You can hire anyone to maintain it later - including yourself.
- Local pickup of brand assets, kickoff in person if you want - Portland metro
- Vercel free tier covers most sites - your monthly cost is the domain (~$15/yr)
- Flat-rate quote before we start - scope, deadlines, and revisions defined upfront
- Real reply within one business day - text, call, or email

Common Questions
FAQ
Do you work with local small businesses?
Yes - that's the main thing we do. Small business website Portland Oregon owners actually need: a few clean pages, mobile-first, fast, with the contact info and services where customers can see them. No bloat, no monthly platform rent, no template that looks like everyone else's.
Can I hire you for a custom Next.js build?
Yes. Custom Next.js builds are our day job - booking flows, dashboards, admin portals, multi-role apps, third-party API integrations. You get the code on GitHub, deployed to your own Vercel account, with a clean handoff. No vendor lock-in.
How much does a small business website in Portland actually cost?
Starter sites (Home, Services, Contact) start at $500 and ship in under a week. Refreshes run higher depending on content volume. E-commerce and custom Next.js builds get quoted per job after a brief scope call. Hosting itself usually lands at $0/month on Vercel's free tier - your only recurring cost is the domain (~$15/yr).
What happens if I want to leave or hire someone else later?
You own the code on GitHub, you own the domain registration, you own the Vercel account. We hand off admin access to all of it at launch. Any competent developer can pick up where we left off - that's deliberate. We don't run lock-in plays.
Do you work with businesses outside Portland proper?
Yes - Beaverton, Tigard, Lake Oswego, Hillsboro, Tualatin, West Linn, Milwaukie, Oregon City, Gresham, and Wilsonville are all in range. Most of the work happens remotely anyway. If you want an in-person kickoff in the Portland metro, we can do that too.
