Websites for local businesses

Websites that turn local visitors into paying customers.

Most small-business sites look dated and quietly turn customers away. I build fast, modern sites designed to get you found and turn visitors into paying customers. Live in a week.

Sample builds for inspiration.

A few sample builds to spark some inspiration. Have a click around, then picture it with your name on it.

Styles

A look that fits your business.

Every build is custom to your brand - this is about the feel. Six directions, each with its own type, colour, and personality. Use them as inspiration for where yours could go.

Benjamin Nelson
Founder, Nelson Studio

Digital marketer turned site builder, focused on one thing: sites that actually bring in business.

  • Years running paid ads & performance marketing
  • Data-driven. Builds for conversions, not just looks
  • Specializes in small businesses and mom-and-pop shops

Not a designer who dabbles in marketing. A marketer who builds sites.

I spent years in paid advertising, obsessing over one question: what actually makes someone click, call, and buy?

Most web designers make things that look nice and stop there. I build sites the way a marketer does. Every section has a job: get you found, build trust fast, and turn a visitor into a customer. That's the difference between a pretty site and one that pays for itself.

Nelson Studio exists to give local businesses the kind of modern, high-converting website that big brands have, without the agency price tag or the runaround.

Want to see your new site, for free?

I'll build a real preview of your business's new website. No cost, no commitment. If you love it, we make it live.
