If your site still looks like it belongs on a desktop monitor from a decade ago, you are losing leads. In 2010 a $2,000 budget bought a small template site with a few pages. In 2025 the same budget can deliver a faster, safer, and more local SEO friendly website that drives calls and inquiries.

Quick Snapshot

  • 2010: fixed layout, small text, slow pages, no mobile focus, basic titles only, scattered plugins, no plan after launch.
  • 2025: mobile first design, clear calls to action, fast load times, structured data, local SEO, lightweight plugins, backups and updates, easy editing.

Why This Matters In Delco, Aston, And Wilmington

Local buyers decide fast. If your site looks dated or loads slowly on a phone, they bounce to a competitor. A modern build improves how you show up in local results and turns visitors into calls and quote requests.

Budget Note

Two thousand dollars in 2010 bought a basic brochure site. Two thousand in 2025 buys a lean, modern site that loads fast, is ready for local search, and is easier to update. You can add more pages, booking tools, or integrations as your needs grow.
