Most sites blend in.Yours should rise above.
A website built to be fast, found, and yours. Modern, mobile-ready, and search-friendly, launched in weeks, not months, and owned by you outright.
A small shop, an honest price, and my full attention.
Big agencies hand you a heavy template, a junior account manager, and a surprising invoice. With Ascent you get a fast, modern site, a flat price, and one person who actually knows your project.
- 01Built to be fast, not just liveA typical WordPress or Wix build is slow and plugin-heavy. Your site is modern code on a global edge network, so it loads in about a second and holds up on any phone.
- 02You own it outrightMost shops keep you renting their platform. Your domain is in your name and your site is plain code in a repository you own. Nothing here can be held hostage.
- 03A flat price, from $500A complete five-page site is $500 outright, plus $150 for any extra page. No mystery invoices, no padded retainers, no agency markup. You know the full cost before we start.
- 04You can update it yourselfEvery package includes a walkthrough on running your own site, so you can change your hours, swap a photo, or post an update through a clean editor, with no developer call and no extra fee every time something small changes.

You work directly with me. Not a sales rep, not a junior.
Ascent is a small business, run by one person who also happens to be the one building your site. When you call, you reach the person doing the work, not a call center or an account manager reading from a script. I learn your business, make the decisions, and stand behind the result.
That is the difference a big agency cannot offer at this price: real attention, a fair flat fee, and a website that feels made for you because it was.
Answers before you ask.
How much does a small business website cost?+
A complete five-page website is $500, paid once. Additional pages are a flat $150 each. There are no monthly retainers required and no surprise invoices, you know the full cost before any work begins.
How long does it take to build a website?+
Most websites launch in about two weeks. Your part is roughly two to three hours total, spread across one discovery call, sending over a few materials, and a quick review. The rest is handled for you.
Do I own my website and domain?+
Yes. Your domain is registered in your name and your website is plain code in a repository you own. Nothing is rented or locked to a proprietary platform, so you are never held hostage to keep your site online.
What makes Ascent different from a bigger web design agency?+
Ascent is a one-person studio, so you work directly with me from the first call to launch, never a sales rep or a junior. You get personal attention and a fair flat price, instead of agency markup and account managers.
Can I update the website myself after it launches?+
Yes. Every build includes a walkthrough on running your own site through a clean editor. You can change your hours, swap a photo, or post an update without calling a developer or paying a fee for small changes.
Where is Ascent Web Design located?+
Ascent is based in Medford, Oregon and serves small businesses across Southern Oregon, the California Bay Area, and worldwide.
