Web design and SEO for businesses in Hays
The northwest's university-and-oil hub. Search volume in Hays is modest, and that is the opportunity: the businesses ranking here are usually ranking by default, not because anyone built for it.
Our sites are built to be found: structured for the searches people in and around Hays actually make, then improved month after month. From $299 a month, everything included, no setup fee and no contract.
How local businesses win the Hays searches
Search volume in Hays is modest, and that is exactly what makes it winnable: the businesses at the top are usually there by default rather than by design. A properly built site can take the main Hays searches and hold them.
The growth path from there is geographic. Nearby markets like Great Bend are ones we build for too, and the same site can be structured to reach them. A business that ranks in its own town and in the towns beside it has multiplied its market without spending another dollar on the website — which is why we build location pages into the plan rather than selling them as an extra.
We looked this up rather than assuming it. Searching for a web designer in Hays in August 2026 returned no business actually based there in the top three ordinary results. Most were firms based somewhere else, running one page per town. It is the same hour of work we do on your own market before writing a word of your site.
How this actually works
There is no Hays office and no salesperson who will drive out to see you. What there is: prices you can read before you contact us, a fixed 10-business-day delivery, and monthly work you can verify, because every fix we claim is confirmed by a fresh crawl of your site. Plenty of our clients have never met us in person and have a better website than the competitor who sat through three meetings.
- Free 20-minute call — you tell us what your business does and for whom; we tell you honestly whether we fit. No proposal theater.
- Every price is published — $299, $599 or $1,199 a month, no setup fee, cancel any month.
- Live in 10 business days from kick-off, or your first month is free — that promise is in writing.
- Improved every month — new pages and ongoing SEO, with every fix verified by an independent re-crawl.
What a website actually costs in Hays

Frequently asked questions
Can I pay yearly?
Yes, and it is two months free on every plan. If you cancel part-way through, we refund the unused months pro rata — the annual price is a discount, not a lock-in.
Do I need to write the content?
No. We write all the copy for you. You send your logo, any photos you have (or we use professional stock images) and the basic facts about your business — that is the whole input we need from you.
Can you get my business to #1 on Google in Hays?
Nobody can guarantee a Google ranking, and Google says so in its own guidance — it warns that anyone promising one is a red flag. What we guarantee instead is the price, the scope, the delivery date, what you own and the exit, and we prove every fix with a re-crawl so you can read the before-and-after HTML yourself.
Who owns the website and the data?
You do. The domain is registered in your name from day one, and the content, the Search Console property and the Analytics account are yours rather than ours. Nothing about leaving requires our cooperation.
Is there a contract?
No. Cancel in any month, with no notice period and no exit fee. Your domain is registered in your name from day one, and you get a full export of the site and its content within five business days of leaving.
