Wabu Web Design is a small, woman-owned web design company based in Cornelius, about 20 miles north of uptown Charlotte. We design, host and maintain websites for Charlotte-area small businesses, with clear published pricing starting at $99 a month. We don’t have a Charlotte storefront; we work with Charlotte clients by phone, email and video, and we’re close by when meeting in person makes sense.
Who do you build websites for in Charlotte?
Small and owner-run businesses, especially service businesses that depend on local calls: contractors, home services, auto repair, cleaning companies, professional services and similar. If your customers find you by searching on their phone, that’s the kind of site we specialize in.
How much does website design cost in Charlotte with Wabu?
The same as everywhere else we work, and it’s listed on our site. Basic is $99 a month plus a $299 startup fee. Advanced is $199 a month plus a $499 startup fee. A one-time flat-fee site starts at $2,000 for up to five pages, with hosting at $80 a month. Details are on the pricing page.
| Plan | Startup | Monthly |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | $299 | $99 |
| Advanced | $499 | $199 |
| Flat Fee (up to 5 pages) | From $2,000 | $80 hosting |
What’s included in a Wabu website?
A custom, mobile-friendly design plus everything needed to keep it running: hosting, security, server maintenance, updates, backups and an SSL certificate. On monthly plans you can email unlimited edits and we complete them within 48 hours.
- Custom design built for phones first
- On-page SEO and keyword research
- Help setting up your Google Business Profile
- Logos, graphics, copywriting and stock photos if you need them
Why hire a designer outside the city instead of a Charlotte agency?
You’ll talk directly to the owners, Jackie and Marco Moncada, and you’ll know the price before you call. We’re still local to the Charlotte region, so we know the area, and Lake Norman is a short drive from most of the city.
Can you help a Charlotte business show up on Google?
Yes. Charlotte is a competitive market, so we start with a clean site structure and service pages that match what people search, then connect your Google Business Profile. For businesses competing across the metro, our Charlotte SEO services and advanced SEO packages go further. We don’t promise specific rankings.
How long does a new website take?
Most sites launch in four to six weeks, depending on how quickly content and photos come together.
What should a Charlotte small business website have?
A Charlotte customer comparing several businesses usually decides in seconds, so the site needs to load fast on a phone, say plainly what you do and where, and put your phone number and a quote option within easy reach. We also add a page for each main service so you can be found for specific searches, not just your business name.
- The neighborhoods or parts of the metro you serve
- Real photos of your team and your work
- Your Google reviews and a link to your Google Business Profile
