Lynchburg and central Virginia

A fresh website for your local business

I'm Wilson. I rebuild outdated and broken websites for small businesses around Lynchburg. I'll build a free sample homepage for your business so you can see the new look before you decide anything.

What I fix

Small problems that cost you calls

Most customers look you up on their phone before they call. These are the things I see most often on local business sites.

  • Hard to use on a phone

    Text is tiny, buttons sit too close together and visitors have to pinch and zoom.

  • Broken menu or logo

    A missing logo or a menu that won't open can make a good business look closed.

  • Leftover template text

    Placeholder words from the original template are still sitting on the page.

  • Old or mismatched info

    Hours, phone number or address say one thing on the site and another on Google.

  • Links that go nowhere

    Buttons lead to an error page, the wrong page or a social account that's gone.

  • Hard to update

    Nobody remembers the login, so the site hasn't changed in years.

Before and after

What a refresh looks like

This is an illustration I drew for a made-up shop called Hometown Auto Repair. It is an example only and does not show a real business or a client.

BeforeIllustration, example only
  1. The logo image is missing
  2. Template text was never replaced
  3. The hours don't match
  4. The copyright year is old
AfterIllustration, example only
  1. A call button customers can tap
  2. Hours and address in one place
  3. Real words about the real business
  4. A layout that fits a phone screen

How it works

See it before you decide

Sometimes I'll reach out to you with a sample already built. You can also ask me for one.

  1. I look at your site

    I go through your current site on a phone and on a computer and note what's broken, out of date or hard to use.

  2. I build a free sample

    Using your real business name, services and contact details, I build a new homepage you can open on your own phone.

  3. We talk it through

    You tell me what you like and what you'd change. If it isn't for you, that's completely fine.

  4. I build and launch it

    If you want to go ahead, I build the rest of the pages, put the site on your domain and help you keep it current.

What you get

A site that works for your customers

Everything here is work I do myself, so you always know who to call.

  • A new design

    A clean, modern look built around your business, your services and your own words.

  • Mobile friendly

    Every page is built for phones first, then checked on tablets and computers.

  • Fast loading

    Pages are kept light so they open quickly, even on a weak signal.

  • Clear contact info

    Your phone number, hours and address are easy to find, with a button customers can tap to call.

  • Google and search setup

    I'll help you claim or tidy up your Google Business Profile and handle the basic setup that helps search engines read your site.

  • Ongoing small updates

    New hours, a new service or a holiday notice? Send me a note and I'll update the site.

Pricing

Pricing depends on the size of the site. After you've seen your free sample, I'll give you a written quote before any paid work begins.

About

Hi, I'm Wilson

I live in Lynchburg and I work in IT. Blue Ridge Refresh is my local side business.

I started it because I kept running into local business websites with broken menus, missing logos and old information, owned by people who do great work. A website should make it easy for a customer to find you and call you.

When you work with me, you talk to me. I build the site, I answer the phone and I make the updates.

FAQ

Common questions

Is the sample really free?

Yes. I build the sample homepage at no cost, and you're under no obligation to go any further.

Do I need to have a website already?

No. If you're starting from scratch, I can build your sample from your business name, your services and a few details from you.

Can I keep my domain name?

Yes. Your web address stays the same. If you don't have a domain yet, I can help you pick one and set it up in your name.

Who owns the site?

You do. The domain, the words, the photos and the finished site belong to you.

What does it cost?

It depends on the size of the site. Once you've seen your sample and we've talked about what you need, I'll give you a written quote before any paid work begins.

What if I don't like the sample?

Tell me what's off and I'll take another pass, or we can leave it there. Either way, the sample costs you nothing.

What happens after the site is live?

When your hours or services change, send me a note and I'll update the site. I can also show you how to make simple changes yourself if you'd like.
