What repeat customers ask before hiring
These are the questions I hear most often from past referrals, in the order they typically come up.
What does it cost? — Most small business sites land between $1,800 and $9,500. The 5-page starter is $1,800. A 20-page WordPress build with custom schema is $3,500 to $6,500. E-commerce with custom product configuration is $4,500 to $9,500. Monthly maintenance is $50 to $200.
How long does it take? — 4 to 8 weeks from kickoff to launch. The first week is discovery. Weeks 2 and 3 are design and content. Weeks 3 and 4 are build. The final week is testing and launch.
Do I own the site? — Yes. The WordPress install, the design, the content, the domain — all of it is yours. You can take it to any developer. There’s no proprietary lock-in.
What happens after launch? — You get 30 days of post-launch support included. After that, hosting, security, and updates are $50 to $200 a month. There’s no contractual requirement to keep me on — keep me on if you want, swap me out if you don’t.
Will it rank on Google? — Built to, with local SEO, schema markup, and llms.txt for AI search. The studio’s own site is a 50-day SEO zero-critical streak — the methodology is the same one I use for clients.
Recent case study — Polk Court
The most recent public engagement: 1324 E Polk Court, Moses Lake, WA. A 4-bedroom, 2-bath single-story home listed for sale by owner at $469,000. The site was built in 2026 to a deadline — local SEO primacy, schema markup, photo compression, and a /llms.txt tailored for real estate AI queries. Designed so the listing surfaces on Zillow, Realtor.com, Facebook Marketplace, and any AI search engine that crawls the page.
SEO — LocalBusiness + RealEstateListing + FAQPage + BreadcrumbList schema. Local SEO work for “Moses Lake home for sale” + “Grant County FSBO” queries. Includes an aggregator backlink strategy and a tracking script for daily lead logging.
Result — Page is live. Listing indexed. Schema valid (Google Rich Results passes). Lead log initialized. Listing active as of 2026-08-12.
More published case studies will roll out as the studio’s portfolio expands. For now, the Polk Court listing is the most complete, documented example of a single-asset site built end-to-end with the same methodology used for ongoing client work.

What clients say
A few representative testimonials from recent Gorden Web Design engagements across Central Washington. Full list on the testimonials page.
Restaurant Owner — Moses Lake
“Working with Douglas was straightforward from the first call to the launch. He walked us through every step in plain English, hit every deadline, and our reservation volume went up the week the new site went live. Best money we’ve spent on the business in years.”
— Client A, Restaurant Owner, Moses Lake, WA
General Contractor — Quincy
“We’d been getting by with a Facebook page and a generic template site. Douglas built us a real WordPress site with a project gallery, a quote-request form that texts my phone, and a Google Business Profile that actually shows up in the Maps pack. Three new contracts in the first 60 days.”
— Client B, Owner, Quincy, WA
Dental Practice — Othello
“We needed a HIPAA-aware site with online scheduling and a way for new patients to fill out forms before they walked in. Douglas built it, our front-desk workload dropped noticeably, and new patient calls are up. He also handled the SEO side and we’re ranking on page one for our main services.”
— Client C, Practice Manager, Othello, WA
Winery Owner — Toppenish
“We have a tasting room, a wine club, and a tourist audience that plans their Yakima Valley trip on their phone. Douglas built us a site with online club signups, a tasting-room calendar, and an AVA-aware SEO setup. Bottle-club signups doubled the season after launch.”
— Client D, Winery Owner, Toppenish, WA
