Hi! Kelvin & Sophy here,

Partners in business and life 🙂 A website is where it starts. Our work goes beyond the web page, into the phone calls, the reviews, the walk-ins and the repeat customers. We’re based in Middletown, Connecticut and Haverstraw, New York.

With 25+ years of combined experience across print, retail and weddings, plus Sophy’s background in trade compliance, we know that businesses run on details: accurate information, clear processes and follow-through. That is why we build for what happens after a website goes live: the phone that rings, the customer who taps a card at your counter, the review that gets left and the booking that lands in your inbox.

Where our work shows up in real life

More calls, bookings and reviews

Link-in-bio pages, QR codes and NFC tap cards turn the people already in front of you into tracked leads and Google reviews.

Found where customers look

Local SEO, Google Business Profile and structured data help customers, and AI assistants like ChatGPT and Perplexity, find the right answer: you.

Print, video and photo that match

One team handles your website, graphic design, photography, video and virtual tours, so everything looks and sounds like you.

Support after launch

Hosting, backups, security monitoring, monthly reports and fresh content keep working long after launch day.

Questions we hear most

How much does a new website cost?

Website costs vary, but for the Connecticut and New York markets, most small business websites range from $3,000–$8,000. This includes custom design, mobile-first development, SEO basics, hosting setup, and training. We also provide additional on-going services for maintenance, advanced SEO and marketing.

What’s the fastest way to get more leads for my local business?

Whether you are in CT or NY, start with Google Business Profile + review system setup + a mobile-friendly website. These three things together dramatically improve how you show up in local search. Most businesses see increased calls and inquiries within 30–60 days.

What is SEO and why does my business need it?

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) helps your website show up when people search for businesses like yours on Google. If you’re a restaurant in Hartford or the Hudson Valley, you want to appear when someone searches “restaurant near me.” We optimize your website structure so local customers can actually find you.

How do I get review stars or FAQs to show up in my Google result?

This is called Rich Snippet Optimization. Unlike standard SEO, which focuses on ranking, this focuses on Click-Through Rate (CTR). We code your website to ‘speak’ to Google, allowing it to display your pricing, availability, and 5-star ratings directly in the search results, helping you steal clicks from competitors.

Can you handle both video and web design for us?

Yes. We are a full-service creative agency. Many of our clients hire us to build a custom website and then fill it with our professional photography and video content, ensuring a cohesive brand identity from start to finish.

What happens after my website is launched? (Do you offer maintenance?)

We don’t just launch and leave. We include a recorded training session so you know how to make basic updates yourself, which we embed directly in the backend of your website for easy access. For ongoing support, we offer Maintenance & Growth packages. These cover technical upkeep (security, backups, content tweaks) so your site never breaks, plus Advanced SEO refinement to keep your rankings climbing month after month.

Can you manage our Google Business Profile for us?

Absolutely. Our Google Business Profile service can include verification, SEO optimization, weekly posts, and review management to help you rank higher in local “near me” searches. With our website development you can push this even further with Schema SEO.

Who is your typical client?

We partner with a diverse range of clients, from small businesses and corporate brands needing high-impact marketing assets. Whether you are a local restaurant, a local trade businesses or regional non-profit, we tailor our creative approach to your specific audience.

Where are you based, and do you travel for projects?

We’re based in Middletown, Connecticut and Haverstraw, New York, serving clients globally. Our video and photography team travels anywhere for shoots. Web design, SEO, and marketing services are delivered remotely across the United States. Locally, we work throughout Central Connecticut (Hartford, New Haven, Middletown, Meriden) and New York’s Hudson Valley region.
