Web design and SEO for businesses in St. Matthews

Louisville's east-side retail city. St. Matthews is one of the 30 largest cities in Kentucky, and in a market this size one properly built website can own the searches that matter for years.

We build websites engineered from day one to be found for searches like "web designer St. Matthews" or "St. Matthews small business website" — and improved every month after that. Fixed monthly price from $299, everything included, no setup fee.

How local businesses win the St. Matthews searches

Fewer people search in St. Matthews than in the big metros, and the ones who do are much closer to buying — they are usually looking for someone local who can start this week.

Capturing that takes a site built for search rather than for looks, and then widening the net. Nearby markets like Louisville and Jeffersontown are ones we build for too, and the same site can be structured to reach them. A business covering its own town and the ones beside it ends up with the broadest reach in the area, which is precisely what the location pages in the plan are for.

In August 2026 we searched for a web designer in St. Matthews and read the results properly. None of the top three ordinary listings — the ones under the map — belonged to a studio in the town. Most were firms based somewhere else, running one page per town. We are telling you because most businesses have never once looked at what their own search results actually contain.

Honest about how we work

Everything here is arranged so you never have to take our word for anything. The prices are published, so nothing gets quoted specially for St. Matthews. Delivery is 10 business days or your first month is free. Your domain is in your name from day one, and every fix is verified by an independent crawl. The one thing we cannot offer is somebody local to shake hands with.

• 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 you pay, and what is inside it

You can buy a website three ways: software you run yourself for less, a one-off build for more, or a monthly price with the work inside it. For a business in St. Matthews the third is usually the one that survives contact with reality, because a site nobody improves stops earning. Ours is $299 a month, published, cancellable in any month.

Pay yearly and get two months free. Cancel any time and we refund the unused months pro rata — the annual plan is a discount, not a lock-in.

Already have a website that isn't being found?

Start a plan within 30 days and the $490 comes back as a credit across your first three months.

Frequently asked questions

Will my site work properly on phones?

Yes, and it is not an afterthought. Most local searches happen on a phone, and Google judges your site by its mobile version rather than its desktop one. Mobile speed is one of the things measured before and after every change, and it appears in your monthly report.

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.

What happens after my St. Matthews site launches?

The monthly work starts, which is the point of the plan: new pages, ongoing SEO, two articles a month on the entry plan, and a report showing the before-and-after HTML for every fix that shipped. A website that stops being improved starts sliding, so nothing here stops at launch.

How do I know the work actually happened?

Every fix is verified by an independent re-crawl and lands in your monthly report as before-and-after HTML. We also run the same Engine against our own website and publish the live result — failures included — at justmarket.me/self-audit, so you can judge the standard before you spend anything.

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.
