A custom website built for your business, not a template

A custom site build is a website coded from scratch for your business rather than assembled from a theme: your design, your page structure, your copy, on a fast modern stack you own outright.

Trusted by growth-minded businesses across the Upstate and beyond.

What is included in a custom site build?

Greenville Digital Solutions builds on Next.js and Vercel, the same stack our own site runs on, with a median largest contentful paint of 1.4 seconds across shipped sites. The code lives in a repository in your name, so nothing is rented and any developer can take it over.

A design direction for your brand

One aesthetic committed to after looking at what wins in your vertical, then a design system in code: type, color, spacing, and motion. Not a theme with your logo dropped in.

Every page with a job

Home, services, about, gallery, reviews, and contact at minimum, each with one primary keyword, a title, and schema, so every page can rank for something rather than sitting as filler.

SEO in the markup

Titles, meta descriptions, canonicals, breadcrumbs, LocalBusiness and Service schema, plus a sitemap and robots generated from the same data as the pages.

Lead forms wired to identify the page

One form component sitewide, sent to your email and CRM, with the page it came from on every submission.

Real imagery

Photographs where you have them, generated imagery reviewed by a person where you do not, all self-hosted and optimized to WebP.

Managed hosting

Vercel edge hosting with uptime and error monitoring, monthly dependency updates, and one-click rollback, included in every monthly plan.

Results from businesses like yours

Every number here is tied to a named client and a date.

How a custom build runs

You own the code. Speed is measured. It is built to rank. No two look alike.

  1. Discovery

    Your business, services, service area, brand assets, and the conversion you want, plus a crawl of your current site if you have one.

  2. Direction

    One design direction committed and a route map written, a keyword and schema type per page.

  3. Build

    Pages built from data so the site stays consistent, copy written and humanized, imagery sourced and reviewed.

  4. Review and score

    Every build scored out of 100 against a written rubric before you see it. The floor is 95.

  5. Launch

    Redirects tested, DNS cut over, sitemap submitted, Search Console verified.

What owners say after the first quarter

Sixty days to #1 for our money keyword. Past agencies took eighteen months and never got there.

Who a custom build is for

Lite sites of 10 to 15 pages start around $3,500 and ship in two to three weeks. Larger builds with city and growth pages are quoted per project with a page-by-page scope. Managed hosting is included in every monthly plan or $75 a month standalone. Every quote is a fixed price for a written scope.

Businesses on a slow template

Sites scoring 40 to 70 on mobile that rank for nothing and cost a monthly platform fee.

New businesses that want it right

A first site built to rank, so SEO does not need a rebuild in year two.

Businesses with a brand to protect

Where a themed site undercuts the reputation the business has earned offline.

Anyone tired of renting

Owners who want the code and the domain in their own name.

Conversion landing pages

One offer, one form, one phone number.

Programmatic SEO sites

Our engine generated 56 pages for a specialty installer and Google indexed them in 30 days.

Vertical templates

We have shipped the same architecture for movers, trades, detailers, attorneys, and restaurants.

Make search your most reliable revenue channel.

The repository is in your name and the domain stays yours. No platform can raise your rent and no developer is locked in.

Custom site build: common questions

How many pages come with a custom build?

Lite builds are 10 to 15 pages. Full builds add city and growth pages and are scoped per project.

Can you match my existing brand?

Yes. We work from your logo and colors, or design a system if you do not have one.

Do you write the copy?

Yes, from a discovery call and your existing material, then you review every page.

Will I own the website?

Yes. The code lives in a repository you control and the domain stays in your name.

How long does a custom build take?

Two to three weeks for a lite site, four to eight for a full build.

What platform do you build on?

Next.js on Vercel with Supabase for data, the same stack our own site runs on.
